    Post Hire Me Please

    My name is Daveyon Mayne and lives in Portmore. Im currently employed and not happy there. Im doing alot of work and not being treated with respect. I want to leave this job like now but I have bills to pay, so that leaves me in no choice. What I can do?:-

    • Install and config a server
    • Repair UPS, Printers, Macs* n PCs
    • Install UTP Cables


    My down fall is that im not certified in any way. My monthly pay is just for bills and to take me back to work the following month. Is someone out there that would take me on????

    Why should someone hire you? What makes you a better prospect than the others out there looking for work?

    If you want to convince someone to hire you, you have to show them how hiring you would benefit them.

    As for the certification thing, see this post.

    Employers don't want to hear sob stories. It sounds harsh, but it's reality. You have to get yourself together, and convince them that they need to hire you!

    No disrespect intended breddrin, just keeping it real.

    You have to think of this thing in marketing terms. You have a product to offer - your skills. You need to do your market research and find out what skills are in demand and who needs them. Then you have to develop your product - get trained, certified and experienced in the areas that your research has found to be lucrative. Then you need to effectively market your product so that you can be successful - this is where good resume and cover letter construction (advertising), networking (links) and presentation (confident professional look and conduct) come into play.

    When you put all that together, your chances of getting hired, or attracting clients (if you are doing your own thing) is much greater.

    Give it a try.

    No problem. Trust me, your money is much better invested in developing yourself rather than in a depreciating asset like an iphone or blackberry.

    All the best.

    my yute you sound sorry for yourself.... u cant market urself like that. Be Strong. Create a resume and start searching jobsites, network with friends, call up companies. I know your desperate but don't sell like that!
