Love The Open Road? This Is Your Perfect Job

Posted on May 27, 2017 by John N. Frank

Some people are never happier than when they are cruising down an open road or highway. They just love the sound of cars whizzing by, the roar of the engine and the thrill of swinging expertly in and out of lanes of traffic. If that sounds quite familiar, there’s only one career that you should be thinking about, and that’s logistics.

You should look into working as what is essentially a delivery driver. You’ll be transporting goods and products to private customers and business owners. If you think there’s no money in this career, think again. The best delivery teams make hundreds of thousands because they are trusted to transport sensitive documents and important packages. But we’re getting ahead of ourselves because before you rise to the top, we need to find out whether this really is a great career for you. Continue reading →

Posted on May 27, 2017 by John N. Frank

An amazing CV and resume are one of the best ways of getting noticed, of course. But there is a lot more to a successful CV than highlighting your amazing achievements, listing your incredible work record, and creating off an eye-catching, unusual design. In fact, the way you distribute your CV is just as – if not more so – important.

It isn’t going to get you a job while sitting on your desk, or even on lying unopened on the desk of a potential employer.

Let’s face it: desk jobs can get a little samey after a while. There’s only so many times you can turn up to the office, fill out a spreadsheet and go home thinking you’ve done a great day’s work.

Desk jobs have a way of making you feel as if you’re not really connecting with the wider world in meaningful ways and having an impact. And when it comes to personal health, they’re certainly bad news. Sitting as been described as the new smoking and many people are unwilling to sacrifice their health just to get a little bit more money. Continue reading →
