Jobs Posted on LinkedIn

I thought of 1 more work-from-home post that I need to share. If you aren't aware, businesses post job openings on LinkedIn. So, if you don't have a LinkedIn account or haven't visited your account for a while, there are always several job offers there - remote if you want to work from home, as well as hybrid and on-site if you don't mind commuting to work. You can choose your country or local businesses for remote work or local businesses only for hybrid and on-site jobs. You'll still get a mixture of all 3 choices - remote, hybrid, and on-site - but mostly your preferred working style. You'll also be able to choose the type of work you're interested in, such as web design.

If you are just now registering for a LinkedIn account, all of this will be asked upon registration. If you already have an account or want to make changes after creating your account, you simply have to click on the "Me" section at the top of the LinkedIn page (signed in). In the dropdown window, click "Settings and Privacy". On the next page that pops up, you will see "Profile Information > Name, location, and industry" to add the information necessary to see job openings in your preferred industry. 

Now, in the left side bar, you will click on "Notifications". On that page, you will see "Notifications You Receive". Click on "Searching for a Job" and be sure the toggle is set to "On" on the next page that comes up. While you're in "Notifications You Receive", you might as well select other notifications you want to receive. Don't worry; you'll never have more than 25 notifications to delete if you don't have time to check those but once a week or so.

New jobs will start showing up in the "Notifications" section at the top of your dashboard now. You'll also have a "Jobs" section at the top of the page. This is a great section when you're looking for a job, because now, you will have not only job postings, but you can also type in another specific type of job to narrow the job feed better. If you type in the job such as, "Transcription", "Data Entry", or "Website Builder", it will automatically load those types of jobs for the entire United States - or perhaps whatever country you're in. You can also get more specific and type in the city, state, and zip code you're looking to work in locally. 

From here, you can also filter remote only, hybrid only, or on-site only, salary, experience level, and more. To get out of the filtered section, click on "Home" at the top of the page and click on "Jobs" at the top of the page again. You're going to see a list on the left side of that page that will help you land a job on LinkedIn - or even outside of LinkedIn. See the list below. Here, you can see the jobs you have saved, your preferences, and demonstrate your skills, which has more information on how to do that when you click on that. Interview prep shows you the most popular questions that are asked during interviews so you can prepare your answers. The resume builder guides you through creating a resume from scratch or uploading and improving one you may already have. Job seeker guidance has tons of informative articles to help you land a job. Application settings is information you want to send to employers when you apply to jobs. I have 3 resumes to highlight each of my skills - 1 for transcribing, 1 for data entry, and 1 for proofreading.

When you're ready, you can click "Apply" on any job that interests you on LinkedIn. Most will allow you to apply within LinkedIn. Some may take you to their website to apply. Again, you can download and use your professional resume to apply for a job anywhere. Sometimes, even Upwork clients request a resume. Either way, LinkedIn makes it easy to prepare you for your journey.

Besides these obvious ways I've explained about job searches above, there are many other ways to grab employers' attention, such as impressive posts and profile information. Follow companies that interest you. They may notice you in return!

Happy job hunting,

Patricia

Image Pixels to Inches, Flip Image, and Increasing DPI

Image Pixels to Inches, Flip Image, and Increasing DPI These are simple tips I want to share with those of you who are like me and do not have fancy programs to help when needing to convert pixels to inches, find out how many pixels an image has, and increase DPIs for better print quality. My tips are based on a Windows 11 OS and may not work on other systems. However, you may be able to do an internet search to explore your OS options based on the information I have provided below. I do not receive any compensation from these two sites listed. I use them because they are easy, free, and safe to use. These tips are helpful if you need to quickly figure how many pixels you need for a certain number of inches so you can print the right size every time without guessing and wasting printer ink until you do get it right. Also, sometimes, a print needs to be flipped (mirrored, reversed) for transfers. And last but not least, if you’re selling printable items, a higher DPI is needed for ...

Charcoal Grilling Recipe for Beef Kebabs

Grilled Beef Kebabs AKA Kababs or Kabobs As I've already mentioned, grilling is my newest hobby . I call it a hobby; otherwise, I wouldn't do it because a lot of time is required to prep. Grilling is meant to get me outdoors more, so yes, it is a hobby. Some people recently told me that they enjoy grilling because it's so much easier and there is less cleanup. I'm not sure how that can be unless they simply add something onto the grill without prepping it with flavor. Gas grilling may be slightly easier since no prepping is needed to heat it up as with a charcoal grill. However, I'm not 100% sure about that. And honestly, I use more dishes for grilling than I normally would for cooking on my kitchen stove. But the flavors and connecting with nature are so worth it. Directions for these beef kebabs are for the charcoal grill.   But they can also be made in the oven or on a gas grill as well, using your own judgment for cooking times. This cook involves open-fire cook...

This Rule is Golden

 In Matthew 7:12 NLT, Jesus tells us , "Do to others whatever you would like them to do to you. This is the essence of all that is taught in the law and the prophets." image courtesy of Randalyn Hill via Unsplash My goodness, how often does the world turn the Golden Rule around? Jesus meant it for us to be kind and merciful. Many in the world use it to get even, to seek vindication for a wrong done to them - or what they think has been done to them, which is NOT at all what Jesus said in this verse. Yet, how many times do we hear, "Well, they did this to me. I'm going to do the same to them." Or, "That person was mean to me; I'm going to teach that person a lesson they will never forget." Or, "I never get a break. Why should I give anyone else a break?" Jesus said to treat people the way we want to be treated. That means to be cordial in all encounters. Show mercy to those who aren't showing us mercy. Let's be nice to people who...
