Long Distance Relationship

Challenging and difficult, though they may not be what we want to hear, are the words that best describe long distance relationships। Keep in mind however, that the words are challenging and difficult, not impossible. Many people choose to give a long distance relationship a try, with the constant curiosity if it was the right decision to make and if it even stands a chance.

The truth is, a long distance relationship has just as much a chance of succeeding as any other relationship! Long Distance Relationships share the same facts as an average relationship. It involves two people who share an interest in each other's lives, care for one another and of course have a love for each other that they hope will only continue to grow.

On the other hand, a long distance relationship does have its differences as well. It takes away your ability to see each other on a frequent note, as well as the choice of being intimate whenever you desire, not to mention that there would be major trust required. Being unable to spend time together in a physical presence makes it harder to hang on to, but does not spell out doom for your relationship.

The first step is to make an agreement of what your expectations are in the relationship and how much of a commitment you are willing to give and receive. If the two of you decide to be monogamous, then it is clear that neither of you will be dating anyone else as long as your romantic relationship exists. Being clear about what you both want is extremely important, especially in a long distance relationship, in order to prevent future misunderstandings and mistakes.

Do not feel afraid to tell your partner what you really need and want from him or her, you deserve the chance to speak from your heart and he or she deserves to know the truth and judge whether they can give it to you. Trust is a major necessity if you wish to have your relationship from a distance. Without trust and honesty, the relationship is in for danger and unsuccessfulness, just as it would be any other relationship.

By accepting the challenge of a long distance relationship, you also accepted the fact that you will have to have the trust and faith that your partner will not be seeing anyone else as promised. Being paranoid and accusing will only grow doubts, insecurity and tension between you and none of those three will help the relationship survive successfully. Keeping each other informed of the friendships you have with other people and the events that take place in your personal life is a great way to keep your relationship alive and healthy; and continues to make your partner a part of your life. It is essential that you receive the same information from your partner as well, so you both feel the same security and satisfaction that you both crave.

Be creative with the way you keep in touch, such as calling, e-mailing, faxing and sending cards. Pay attention to how many times a week you are staying in touch as well. If you want your bond to stay strong and loving, you have to hear from one another often, leaving as little room for any of you to start getting paranoid about anything. Although you cannot be romantic towards each other on a physical note, you can still perform romantic acts that will keep the romance department happy.

You can do this by sending love letters and poems, having flowers and gifts delivered, or even sending a video of yourself with a loving message. Reminding your partner of how much you think about and love him or her will score high points, making them miss you more with the constant urge to see you. Planning reunions play a big part in keeping your relationship exciting, plus serve you the satisfaction of being able to see and touch each other occasionally. It gives you the opportunity to catch up on each other's life in person and to be able to share physical and intimate activities together, which will fulfill both of your needs and desires.

Not re-uniting every once in a while will only damage the relationship you have, so if one of you are not willing to visit the other occasionally, then you may need to question the interest and care your partner has for you and should probably end the relationship and move on. If you and your partner truly want this to work out, then you will both continue to be eager to see each other as often as you can and every time to have the chance to.

Setting a limit of how long you will be apart is a wise thing to do if you do not want to end up waiting forever. There will be a day when you and your partner will have to start planning a serious future, which can only happen when you are living in the same area or perhaps even living together, whichever makes you most comfortable. If none of you are willing to agree on a place to settle and start having a relationship where you see each other on a regular basis, then you can pretty much forget about accomplishing anything out of your long distance relationship.

If your partner truly loves you and wants to be with you, then they would not want to wait forever to be with you. With the right amount of effort and interest on both parts, a long distance relationship can survive the obstacles it will frequently be challenged with. As long as you both refresh your memories of why you chose to do this in the first place, trust each other, inform one another of your personal lives, keep in touch, and visit, your relationship can turn out to be one of the most successful and happy relationships that ever existed. You both will be secure, happy and satisfied until the day comes when you will re-unite for good and build your wonderful future together.

Career

S-E-C-R-E-T-A-R-Y

Job description
A secretary or administrator provides clerical and administrative support, either as a team or individually. They are often also responsible for specific projects, as well as co-ordinating and implementing office procedures. In some cases, they will oversee junior staff.


Secretarial/administrative work has changed significantly over the years, and the role varies greatly depending on sector, the size of the employer and levels of responsibility. Most work involves communication and word processing skills, and within specialist fields such as law, many secretaries/administrators are required to have relevant, high-level qualifications.
The role also overlaps with that of personal assistant.


TYPICAL WORK ACTIVITIES


Most secretaries/administrators will undertake typical work tasks: general word processing, dealing with telephone and email enquiries, creating and maintaining filing systems, keeping diaries and taking appointments for staff.


Depending on the sector, the role could also include any of the following:

1. using a variety of software packages to produce correspondence and documents, and maintain presentations, spreadsheets and databases;
2. devising and maintaining office systems;
3. booking rooms;
4. using content management systems to maintain and update websites and internal databases;
5. arranging meetings, taking minutes and keeping notes;
6. invoicing;
7. looking after budgets;
8. liaising with members of staff in other departments or external contacts;
   
9. ordering and maintaining stationery and equipment supplies;
   
10. using shorthand and audio tapes or copytyping to produce letters;
11. organising and storing paperwork, documents and computer-based information.
    

Other duties may include:

• recruiting and training junior staff, and delegating work as required;
• manipulating complex statistical data;
  
• travelling with the team or manager to take notes at meetings, take dictation and provide general assistance with presentations;
  
• arranging travel and accommodation;
  
• arranging both in-house and external events.
  
  SALARY AND CONDITONS
  
• Annual and performance-related bonuses can be found in some sectors.
  
• Working hours are typically nine to five, possibly with some extra hours.
  
• Work is almost entirely office-based.
  
• Interim, part-time and temporary roles are common. Career breaks are possible if skills, especially IT, are maintained.
  
• Self-employment/freelance work is unlikely.
  
• Jobs are available in all areas with widespread opportunities.
  
• In accordance with tradition, the majority of secretarial jobs are still held by women.
  
• The support nature of the role means that project contribution may not always be recognised, which can be frustrating. In some companies, the job title itself is limiting with less recognition for comparable work, despite equal qualifications.
  
• The job can be stressful at times, since the work is always focused on the needs of the manager or team. Deadlines can be imposed suddenly, demanding flexibility and occasionally the need to work extra hours to complete tasks.
  
• Travel within a working day, absence from home at night, and overseas work or travel are all uncommon.
  
  

  NOTE: 45 WPM
  
  

  ENTRY REQUIREMENTS
  
• Potential candidates will need to show evidence of the following:
  organisational skills;
  
• the ability to plan your own work, work on your own initiative and to deadlines;
  
• the ability to manage pressure and conflicting demands, and prioritise tasks;
  
• oral and written communication skills;
  tact and discretion;
  
• a pleasant, confident telephone manner;
  
• teamwork;
  
• reliability and honesty;
  
• project management skills.

Knowledge of another common business language such as French or Japanese may boost potential earnings.

A good way of gaining experience or getting a first job as a secretary or administrator is by temping through an agency, and this often leads to permanent positions. If you do not have much previous experience, a temping job will be an opportunity to try different sorts of secretarial or administrative work and help you decide what aspects you find particularly enjoyable and the sort of employer or sector you would like to work with.

Competition is not usually severe, although it depends on the area of employment. The demand for skilled, experienced staff remains high. Exact requirements for particular typing speeds and knowledge will vary from vacancy to vacancy depending on the nature of the post, but a minimum typing speed of 45wpm is normally required. Agencies are a common way of gaining jobs in this occupation, but applying directly to organisations that appeal to you can be effective.

Employers regard experience very highly in this field of work, so mature entry is not generally a problem.

It is illegal for employers to discriminate against candidates on the grounds of age, gender, race, disability, sexual orientation or religious faith. For more information on equality and diversity in the job market and how to handle discrimination see the AGCAS publication, Handling Discrimination.

There are a number of ways in which your career could develop. You may wish to specialise in one industry or area, such as legal or medical secretarial work, or become a personal assistant to a company director or other senior manager. Alternatively, you could choose to use your organisational skills as an office manager, co-ordinating the work of others within a department or organisation.

It is possible in some sectors, in charities or property for example, to move up through internal vacancies and opportunities, so working in admin in a sector that you are interested in can be a good 'foot in the door'. However, some informal evidence suggests that the job title itself can be a barrier to, or limit the scope of, career development. Some people choose to emphasise aspects of their jobs in order to progress to the next level, whilst others have been tempted to change their job title to the more ambiguous 'executive' to prevent what they describe subjectively as prejudice against the job title.

Job Hunting

-JOBS-
Clerk-A person who works in an office performing such tasks as keeping records, attending to correspondence, or filing.

Unemployment is a hard thing to face. Not only are you anxious to get a job in order to pay your bills, but the stigma that you are lazy just because you happen to jobless is also hanging over your head. I can attest to this because currently I am seeking a job. Freelance writing articles on Associated Content and being a full-time college student are currently my only gigs. Some may say that is enough, but speaking as one who has rent and other bills to pay with no help, I say that I am in desperate need of a job. One thing that's important for any job seeker to have is a strong resume.

You don't have to lie about your education, skills, or work experience to create a strong resume, just enhance on your strengths so that employers will notice you. When you submit a resume while applying for a job, include a cover letter even if one isn't required. This shows the employer that you are really interested in getting the job. Be sure to take time to personalize each cover letter. You can keep the basics such as your interest in the company the same but remember to mention the job you are applying for specifically.

Give them a brief synopsis of your strengths in order to let them know that you can be a great asset to their company. One thing I have recently done is post my resume online on jobsites such as www.careerbuilder.com, www.monster.com, and www.hotjobs.com. Posting your resume online makes you available to numerous employers who you might not have found otherwise. These employers can view your resume and contact you if they believe you qualify for a job opening they have. This essentially cuts your work in half because you don't have to search as much for jobs online. If you create a profile on these job websites, they can match you with potential employers. And for those of you worried about posting your resume online with your personal information on it, these sites have a privacy option where you can determine how much of your information is viewed by potential employers while still allowing them to contact you.

I have received great leads from posting my resume online. Rather than searching newspapers for classified ads to see who's hiring, you can find hundreds of people who are hiring with just the click of a mouse. And what's more convenient about using job search websites to assist you is you can narrow down your search results by location, experience, and education.In addition to searching for jobs online, it's a good idea to go job fairs in your area. There are many potential employers who have company representatives at jobs fairs and some of them interview on the spot. Be sure to dress to impress when you go to a job fair because you might just walk out of one with a job, or at least a chance to interview for a position. Word of mouth is also a way to let people know you're looking for a job. Ask friends and relatives to inform you of job openings they've heard about.

Also, carry extra copies of your resume around with you. If a place isn't currently hiring, ask if you can leave a resume with them so they can contact you if something becomes available. Just because you don't have the job you're looking for at the moment doesn't mean you still can't find ways to make some extra cash. Like myself, you can write articles for Associated Content or other companies that accept freelance work.

See if someone you know needs a personal assistant that they are willing to pay for their time. Also, volunteering and interning may lead to a paid position for you. Many companies end up offering volunteers and interns a paid position with them if you do a good job. So remember, stay busy and keep your eyes and ears open. You don't have to be lazy just because you're unemployed. Looking for a job can be a job in itself. Even though you'll experience some setbacks from no calls or rejections after interviews, keep trying and hopefully you'll have a job before too long.


You should start thinking about what type of work appeals to you. The more clearly you know where your interests lie, what you enjoy, what your talents are and which skills and strengths you want to use in your working life, the easier it is to recognise opportunities that suit you.

Looking at job adverts is quick, easy, and a useful way to learn what jobs are available, but presents a few problems as a starting point for a job search.

Firstly, adverts are not designed to help you understand what different kinds of jobs involve - they are for people who are sure of exactly the job they want.
Secondly, many jobs are not even advertised, leaving you to miss out on many options.
The good news is that just a bit of thought and research sets you in the right direction.
