Opportunities in Information Technology

Probably the one area in most need of workers in today’s workforce is in computers, software, and database administrations. There is no indication this need will disappear anytime soon.

Either way, if you are considering a job for the future, this is definitely one to look at. Samples of jobs in this field include: • Computer Programmers • Systems Analysts • Computer Engineers • Database Administrators • Computer Support Specialists • Computer Scientist The demand for … Continue reading

Looking for the Perfect Data Entry Job? I May Have Your Answer…

Recently, I talked about data entry, and how there aren’t many real data entry jobs that can be done from home. Today I wanted to talk about the perfect data entry job: It pays very well ($15 – $20 per hour on average) and is flexible about when the work needs to be done–any time during the month is just fine. The catch? You can’t do it from home. Okay, so maybe it’s not the perfect data entry job, but it’s pretty close! The official title for the job is “Researcher” although that makes it sound more difficult than it … Continue reading

Data Entry Scams

Data entry is one of the most prevalent job openings on the Internet. Every job board you go to has got ten, twenty, thirty job openings for data entry, sometimes even more. I have bad news: I am willing to bet dollars to donuts that 99.99% of these jobs are scams. Makes ya want to sit down and just cry, I know. The way the data entry scam works is you read an ad saying that this company is hiring typists, you can make really good money for almost nothing, and all you have to do to get the info … Continue reading

Why are Data Entry Jobs so Scarce?

In this blog, I covered the typical data entry scam, and in this one, I covered the only true data entry company I know of on the Internet. But all of this begs the question: Why are data entry jobs so scarce? It seems like a real job. It seems like it would be pretty easy to do. Why is there such a dearth of legitimate data entry companies? Well, you have to look at what data entry truly is.

Arriving in America is Just The Beginning

When many Americans look back into their family’s history, they eagerly search for details about which ancestor was the first to come to America and when they arrived. Immigration records are a common resource for people who are looking for answers about ancestors’ journeys to America. Part of the journey to America also includes becoming an American citizen. Naturalization is the process by which citizenship is granted to people who have come to America. Naturalization records were kept since the late 1700’s, but the process became much more uniform in the early 1900’s. Although the process was not uniform, the … Continue reading

Think You’re Dedicated to the Job? You’ve Got Nothing on This Man…

I was just reading a news story, and it made me laugh. Maybe that’s horrible of me (you’ll find out why in just a second) but I couldn’t help myself. It just seems like something I would do. A janitor in Poughkeepsie, New York, was mopping the floor on Friday night, the 23rd of February, when the door swung shut behind him.

To top it all off, he left his cell phone in his coat pocket, … Continue reading
