Tutorials for Joomla
Hi everyone,
Managing to get thru the tutorials for Joomla (a friend of mine needs help and I thought it would not hurt to learn more about it) and since I am noticing on alot of job posting Joomla knowledge required as well as Word press etc.
So been talking with some guidance councillors re my job situation and they have been very helpful in guiding me and advising on what I need to do to get into an entry level position. For one be honest and say that is what you want and that you are willing to take the pay. I found that to be the hardest. I do have alot of experience and well most employers think I would be bored or that I am over qualified. But the reality is I am not over qualified when it comes to web design and development. Yes I have been working with the web, FTP and site editors etc. for quite some time but not in the capacity that I am seeking. I really want to work with a team and build websites and maybe eventually with my years of experience and knowledge with television production I can combine the two and help produce dynamic videos for their web sites. A thought for the future. I still have a great deal to learn and accomplish. I am motivated though and I am willing to learn the ropes as they say.
Any words of advice I would appreciate it.
Regards,
j.

Still Looking!
Hi all
Still no job prospects. I just do not get it. I am want to work and I have alot to offer. However, I am networking and talking to agencies. They say it is a catch 22 sort of thing. But all that to say: I want a career change and realize that I will not start at the top of the latter or where I left off in my previous job. I am willing to come in at an entry level but please be realistic: $10 an hour is not going to cut it. I DO HAVE SKILLS! and I am smart and have a great deal to offer a company.
So question is: When is it in your favor to apply so you do not get lost in the loads of emails? Is it best to send your request near the end of the posting so you will be closer to the top of the pile?
Obviously a good cover letter helps and not too big a file for your résumé is a good way to stand out! By the way the correct way to spell RÉSUMÉ is with an accent on both "E's".
Still hoping,
Regards, J.
