Jobs and Career

Perhaps one of the most important elements that contribute to the success of any business is networking. It is not only vital for people looking to expand their product presence in the market but also to people looking for opportunities for employment or investment. Whether you are interested in getting graduate jobs or a viable investment idea, networking will take you a long way. The people in your network tend to understand you better and could easily provide references when needed to help you get opportunities.
The benefits of networking to jobseekers

Looking for a job can be tough especially when you lack actual work experience. In many cases you have to work extra hard just to convince any potential employer of your ability to add value to their company or organisation. Landing graduate jobs could prove to be an uphill task without some credible endorsements from business people. However if you join established professional networks like the Guardian Teacher Network you will find that you are quickly up to speed with what’s current in the teaching sector.

Make sure that you regularly comment on blogs, forums and Twitter so that you get noticed for the right reasons by your peers. Commenting regularly will also show prospective recruiters or high value network members that you are passionate about what you do.
Networking enhances easy movement within or across the system

It is highly likely these days that jobseekers will go through a range of career changes, linear career paths are far less common than they used to be. There’s no problem with this, so long as candidates can show that their career progression has been linear. Perhaps they moved to develop specific skills, or for enhanced exposure to say foreign markets, or managing teams. It is important to stay in touch with your network, and focus on networking down, up and across; you never know where your next opportunity may come from.

The more you extend your network the more you will seem to have a grasp on the relevant information in your industry. Marketing professionals in particular are major beneficiaries of networking. Informed Marketing Intelligence (IMI) has always been the elixir of marketing and a route into big job offers from employers who feel that bringing a well-networked individual on board will impact their top-line.

If you’re a full time student who is set to graduate, perhaps the biggest culture shock you may experience is the incoming payment of taxes when you eventually land your job. It’s very easy to be confused by the UK’s tax rates, but here’s a basic rundown of what you should expect to pay.

The basic rate for UK taxes currently stands at 20%. This is the band that you will fall into if your annual salary is between £0 and £35,000. This is the considered the standard taxation rate for the vast majority of jobs at present.

If your earnings exceed £35,001, then you fall into the higher rate band. In this band the rate of tax stands at 40% and applies for salaries up to £150,000. Should your salary exceed this, then you will be given the additional tax rate of 50%. As a general rule, the more money you earn the higher tax rate you will have to pay.

Sometimes you may feel confused or overwhelmed by taxes; this is normal for a recent taxpayer. Fortunately, career advice is widely available from job agencies and frequently addresses tax issues and queries.

Taxes may seem like a personal burden, but they needn’t be. Thankfully, it is becoming easier and easier to pay your taxes, and more help is at hand for anybody feeling lost. So, whatever you worry about during your career search, it doesn’t have to be your taxes.
