Data entry jobs started with temporary employment agencies and became very popular with a high demand. Many companies outsource their data entry jobs to any one of the data entry companies or individuals to get their job done within a particular time frame.

Historically people who did voluntary work has to endure something of a bad reputation as being ‘do gooders’ or people who wanted to interfere, but those days are certainly long gone. Now employers positively value people who take on voluntary work, because they feel that volunteering shows that people have not just a sense of community pride, but that they are willing to give something back to the community and learn new skills and have new experiences.

So if an employer wants to employ someone and is torn between two ideal candidates, s/he is more likely to give the position to the person who spends their Saturdays working as part of a team planting woodlands or restoring dry stone walls (or similar) rather than the person who lists their main out of hours hobby or interest as being retail therapy. Everyone can shop, but not everyone can work as part of a team, or show that they have leadership skills, through leading a Brownie Pack etc.

The volunteering does not have to be too demanding, but it should be something that is an interest for you. It need not be related to your career, but you need to review your CV once you have started voluntary work and actively show how the skills that you have acquired as a volunteer can be transferred into the workplace. So you use volunteering to actively jazz up your CV, which is a win - win situation for everyone.

You may think that if your are temping then whether or not you volunteer is irrelevant, but again, a recruitment agency will value any voluntary work that you do and will perhaps encourage you to transfer the skills learned into securing new temping positions, so effectively you cant lose out and you may meet some great new friends along the way.

How can you continue to work in an office where you have seriously fallen out with someone and you actually feel that they are the enemy and possibly, that you hate them or severely dislike them? Is it a case of shrugging your shoulders, walking off and signing up with a recruitment agency for a new job? Or can you tolerate the situation and perhaps even make it bearable?

Well there is no hard and fast answer to this, but you do need to think very carefully before you jack in your job, since ultimately you may be the one to suffer. At least initially you should try to get on with things and tolerate each other, you may never end up in love, but you can minimise the hate as well.

Initially it may be worth trying to think about how things are from the other person’s perspective. Do they find it difficult with you there? Have you antagonised them or was it the other way round? Are there ways that you can avoid each other, for example, if they always take their lunch and sit in the rest room from 12 – 12.30, could you take your lunch at 1 pm, so you don’t have to meet.

Remember that if the person bullies you then you have lawful rights and you should report any instances of bullying to your manager. Do not let things fester; deal with issues as they arise.

Try not to turn other people in the office against the person you dislike, since this can backfire on you. Instead retain a dignified silence and only confide in people to whom you are close: that way you maintain your dignity and the moral high ground, no matter what the other person says or does! But if they are truly obnoxious and you simply cannot get on, then eventually you should think of your health and if it is causing you stress, simply move on!

Are you keen to make a good impression on your boss so that you can stop working for a recruitment agency and perhaps land a secure, permanent job? Well help is at hand. Here are the top 5 ways that you can impress your boss and really help your career.

1. First of all always make sure that you don’t keep going to your boss with problems that someone else (yourself included) may be able to sort out. Giving him or her the space and time to be able to do their job, whilst you get on with yours will show that you can work on your own initiative and really help him or her to have confidence in you.
2. Always make sure that you are dependable. That isn’t just about making it into work on time, but is also about making sure that you deliver when you say that you will and that you don’t leave the office to go to a big night out, when all hands are needed to sort out a big problem in the office.
3. Take responsibility for your mistakes. Don’t try to make excuses and don’t try to blame colleagues. If you have messed up then say so, complete with an apology. In that way you will be seen to be acting responsibly and as a member of the team.
4. If you accompany your manager to meetings, then always be prepared. If there are minutes then bring them with you, if there is an agenda, make sure that you have read it and that you are aware of what is going to be discussed.
5. Be flexible. If your boss needs someone to work late sometimes, or someone to just help out in another part of the office, then volunteer. The more flexible you are, then the more you will be appreciated and valued and your boss will definitely have a good impression of such a really adaptable employee.
