Everyone dreams about being his own boss one day.  Perhaps the main way that this could happen is if one owned a business.  It does not have to be big – everyone has to start somewhere after all.  However, owning a business is not that simple.  There are many things that are expected of a business owner.  In fact, one would need a lot of skills and effort to become a success. One of those skills involves negotiating with people relevant to the business.  If you need to brush up on those negotiating skills, then Zapablog is for you.  This blog presents a lot of practical advice about mediating and negotiating.

Accounting is one of the most lucrative jobs there is – the thing is that it could also be one of the most tiring jobs!  Yet this does not change the fact that there is a huge need for skilled accountants anywhere in the world.  With the economic hard times that many of us are facing, though, finding a job – even for an accountant could be difficult.  Accounting Jobs is a very new blog which aims to help accountants find jobs in the UK.  Though there isn’t much content yet, I think that the concept is brilliant and given the right amount of exposure, could become something big.

With Dubai opening up to other nationals as they gear for making Dubai a tourism and commerce hub because their oil is reportedly getting drained already, there is a rush to create blogs for posting job openings in Dubai. This Squidoo lens on Jobs in Dubai has postings on some openings and agencies that are looking for manpower in Dubai. This blog is by no means complete or comprehensive, but this sure is a good place to start looking for a job in Dubai.

The Internet has revolutionized a lot of aspects in our lives and even the business sector has not escaped the changes.

Homebasedhowto.com is a blog which aims to help people navigate their way through the world of online business. They believe that “work has a way of coming to those who look for it” and want to share with others what they know and have discovered with regard to home based businesses. The blog is relatively new and much is still in the works.

I had featured Talented Young People’s blog a few posts back, but since they had sent in two blogs to review, here’s my take on Talented Young People’s Blogger/blogspot.com blog.

Though the one they had on their domain looks cleaner and is easier on the eyes than this one, I actually like this one better than the blog on their own domain. Though they just used a generic Blogger template, this has better content than the one on the dedicated domain. For me, content is king. If the blog may look nicer and cleaner, that’s just an added bonus. If it has great content, like this one, I won’t mind it if it were hosted only on Blogger. But then, it’s just me. Either way, I believe in Talented Young People’s mission/vision to empower the youth, and I’m just cheering them on!
