Minimum Recruitment Standards Comments comments. How to Find a Job. Why am I qualified to tell you how to find a job? At the beginning of 2003 my coworker showed me a NY Times article - Citigroup was going to lay off 1,000 employees in the New York area. Friday morning, I was escorted out of the building with a cardboard box for my personal belongings. Citigroup offered us free career counseling services and I attended a 1 day seminar on how to go about looking for work - all of it was useless. I started looking at ads and sending my resume out. I had no professional certifications. I had some experience in a management role - I'd hired and supervised 3 programmers. But I knew deep down that any job I applied for there would be a thousand other people applying for that job and someone was bound to have better qualifications than I did.

I started selling stuff online & got pretty good at it. So what was this amazing strategy? Let's start with your resume I bet your resume sucks. What does a bad resume look like?

(Images: Kevin Whipps) Ode to Joy | Virtual Musical Instrument | people with disabilities | Eric Wan |by Marcia Kaye. Although he’s paralyzed from the neck down and can’t hold a musical instrument, Eric Wan recently performed Pachelbel’s Canon with musicians from the Montreal Chamber Orchestra. The stirring rendition, filmed at the Royal Conservatory of Music in Toronto without an audience present, was accomplished through a remarkable piece of software engineering that Wan helped design. “I was astonished that I was able to perform with professional musicians,” says Wan, 33, a computer engineer at the U of T-affiliated Holland Bloorview Kids Rehabilitation Hospital. Called the Virtual Musical Instrument, the computer program enables almost anyone to make music – including people with any level of physical disability.

The virtual instrument works with any standard computer and webcam. The invention combines Wan’s two loves: computer programming and music. Three years after becoming quadriplegic, Wan started taking computer-engineering courses part time at the University of Toronto.

You’ll be operating as a free agent and can choose when, where, and how much to participate.

Sound too good to be true? It’s not, because as mentioned earlier, you won’t likely be able to quit your day job with any of these programs, which typically pay way less than regular part-time gigs. Also beware: because specialized skills aren’t always required, you do have to be wary of scams. That out of the way, here are a few sources of legitimate online single-task jobs: Resume samples for experienced professionals - Templates. Jobs, Careers, and Job Listings - AOL Jobs.
