Whether you have just graduated from school or have decided to make a career move, finding science jobs in the UK is dependent on finding a job to suit your skills, pay grade and experience. Finding science jobs are not easy as they are not posted in the local newspaper, nor will you be likely to find a sign in a laboratory window asking for an employee. However, there are a few tricks to use for finding that perfect science related job.
The CV
Whether you are looking at biology jobs or chemistry jobs the key to getting the attention of any employer is a well-written and well-organized CV. Experience and education are the primary focus of all science recruitment activities. Therefore it is imperative to discuss these facets of your CV in more detail than other sections of the Curriculum Vitae.
Finding Job Listings
Now that you have prepared your CV and are ready to search for job listings they questions arises as where to being. This is especially true for those with very segmented science experience. For example, where does one look to find biomedical science jobs or forensic science jobs? The trick is to find an online job recruiter that specializes in the science industry.
What to Look For in an Online Recruiter
There are many online job recruiters, even for the science industry. The key to finding the best site is to look at the services they offer. A good recruiter will not only let you post your CV to their web site but will offer educational links, tips on interviewing, reviews of companies looking to hire, and a means to contact the company with any recruitment questions. A good example of such a company is scienceprospects.com at This company offers a place to post your CV, an area devoted to category specific employers such as pharmaceutical jobs, and plenty of tips and hints to promote yourself to potential employers.
The online travel sector is booming. As more and more people are booking their holidays and business travel online, the shift from the high street is becoming increasingly apparent. There has never been a better time to get involved in online travel, and a PPC job is a great way to get your foot in the door in an industry that is becoming more crucial every day.
Here's a rundown of what you need to know when looking to get jobs in Pay Per Click advertising.
What is Pay Per Click Advertising?
When you use a search engine, and type in a product you are looking to buy or research, your search engine of choice (be it Google, Yahoo!, MSN or Ask) will typically show a list of 10 pages they believe will be of use to you. There may also be sponsored listings, websites that have paid to be placed alongside the results ? it is these that a Pay Per Click Account Manager will create and manage for their employers.
Although they vary between each search engine, a PPC ad will typically consist of a snappy title to grab the attention, followed by a couple of explanatory lines and a URL ? all of which have a fixed character count. Interested consumers will then click on the advert and be taken to the website ? the company are then charged for each click. A job in PPC involves managing these adverts for the advertiser?
What does a Pay Per Click job involve?
The Pay Per Click process typically begins with picking the words for which you want to appear for. This is professionally done using keyword research tools to find out how many people are searching for industry terms.
From there, the keywords are then sculpted into enticing adverts within the word count to make sure that people click the ad when it appears to them, driving traffic to the website.
From then on, you have to monitor the adverts success, the average spend of each one and tailor them into income-generating machines!
How do you get into it?
Quite a lot of entry level Pay Per Click jobs require no previous experience, and offer their own in-house training. What is usually required is a degree education to show a level of aptitude and the ability to learn quickly.
That said, there are shortcuts to take to ensure that you beat the also-rans who are applying for these PPC jobs and get your feet firmly on the career ladder. There are a number of online marketing forums and weblogs where you can research the rapidly changing industry and learn the basic theories of what kind of adverts work well. If you can drop this kind of knowledge in at an interview, then you're sitting pretty!
The other option is that some online marketing companies offer internships to interested parties, and some PPC practice will almost certainly be on the agenda. If you can point to some hands on experience with PPC accounts (which anyone can open, so you could explore the interface yourself outside of work) then you'll be in a very strong position to get a job in Pay Per Click.
What skills do you need to succeed?
The thing about Pay Per Click jobs is that you need a good set of skills for each part of the process. Number 1, you need to be organised ? you will be dealing with hundreds and thousands of keywords on spreadsheets and you need to keep an eye on them. Secondly you need to have a close attention to detail, and especially with numbers ? you will be dealing with budget allocations, and you need to figure out which keyphrases present the best return on investment. Finally you need to be good with words, and have a marketing brain. You need to juggle the words and phrases to fit good marketing copy into a tiny space ? Google's Adwords tool, for example, only lets you have 35 characters for the title and 70 for the description. If you're good at Scrabble, you'll probably be good in PPC marketing.
How much does it pay?
Entry level PPC jobs range from around ?15,000 to ?20,000, but with some experience in campaign management, it's not unheard of for Pay Per Click Experts to earn upwards of ?35,000 for their unique skills. And as the industry is still quite young, you realise that these people cannot be that much more advanced than you!
If you sound like you have the ability, and want to enter the online marketing world, a travel PPC job is just the kind of gateway you might need to a rewarding and constantly evolving industry.
