(Actuaries society) Talks like a Truck Driver

July 31st, 2008 admin Posted in careers |

By Charles Henry

We have all heard the saying “He’s got a mouth like a truck driver”. Growing up we hear many things that steer us away or towards different jobs in life. No thanks to Hollywood, its portrayal of truck drivers, and the bad accidents we see on the evening news, it seems truck drivers get a bad rap.

Most believe truck drivers are low paid vagrant types that live on the road drifting in and out of trouble. These stereotypes I find to be humorous for I am a truck driver. I have many peers and none of them fit this profile. My peers all make $65,000-$100,000 dollars a year with trucking jobs and most of us are home everyday with our families. We live in above average homes with above average toys.

There is a truck driver shortage in this country that is growing larger every year. Every time I see someone working a menial job living paycheck to paycheck struggling to survive I scratch my head. I cant help but wonder if they have a drivers license. Because having a drivers license is all someone needs to get started and make the aforementioned money in a years time with a trucking job.

There is no need to spend hundreds of thousands on an college education only to graduate too make much less with massive debt. Most would believe that a college degree would enable you to earn more money than with a trucking job. I know many people with degrees whose salaries are not half of a truck driver.

There are many high paying trucking jobs in the trucking industry available with no need to be away from home or live on the road. I don’t believe that the general public is aware these trucking jobs even exist. I know this because of the shocked looks on faces when I explain what I make, and what I do.

The greatest thing about trucking jobs vs. a regular job is the amount of freedom you have. You can’t put a price on freedom of a trucking job, and you will find no other job that will give you as much of it. So the next time you see a truck driver remember this; his investment portfolio and his home are probably 3 times the size of the average American household. He has no student loans to pay back and he has the freedom to talk “like a truck driver” if he wants to!

Telecom Jobs With A European Angle
By Murriano

All industry types are strictly related to telco skills and job positions.

telcojobs.eu is the result of a collaboration between the sites owner, internet entrepreneur Eammon Murray, based out of Ireland and a job board software development company http://www.xpandedmedia.com located in Los Angeles, California.

“A number of factors will make this site very strong from the get-go” says Benjamin Hurley, Director of xpandedmedia.com, “The domain name is exclusive and self explanatory. Any internet marketing proffesional out there will know what im talking about. This combined with the gap in the market should propell the site right from the start. I think its high time a job site of this nature came out and we are very happy to have been chosen as the software developer for this project. The choice to go with a .EU domain name made perfect sense to us. You have a strong idea of exacly what the site is about before you even visit it, this will translate into strong organic traffic, coupled with our robust job board solution we are anticipating big things from this site. We wanted to give the site a fully customized look and feel, as well as technical platform that would distibuish it from other sites out there. This is really where we excell, too many job sites are based on a turnkey solution, job seekers are all to wise to this and these sites simply dont perform. We make each site stand out from the crowd, thats the bottom line”

The site boasts a number of unique features that will set it apart from the competition. The domain name and industry niche are the most prevelant. But under the surface there are some nice tools and features that make job search though this site an engaging and intuative experience. Candidates can opt to create a complete in-depth online resume, or alternatively upload their resume documents. Employer profiles can be viewed, complete with contact information, integrated with Google Maps and job listings. RSS job feeds are available for up to the minute job notification, as are email job alerts.

Employers can manage their applicant database and interact with candidates in what is becoming a standard in the web2.0 environment. Candidates in turn can monitor the progress of their applications and status of their resume submission though their candidate account.

Employers will be assured to recieve applications from applicants located within the EU, making candidate sourcing more targeted and cost effective. Registration requires both candidates and employers to be based in the EU, cutting out redundant applications from the start, where alot of the major job boards fail to do so.

As niche job boards make gains around the world, telcojobs.eu is the result off extensive research, market positioning and a combination of well planned and executed business attributes, combined with a robust and engaging platform, things look set for change for telco recruitment in the European Union.
