The wired generation – the internet and you

My Job
My Job

What a time to be alive! We’ve seen the world change and develop and become something that our five-year old selves would have never imagined. We live in an age where you can prepare for a holiday without even getting out of bed, explore every inch of the globe in an afternoon, binge watch every episode of Game of Thrones while you sit in the queue to collect your driving licence, and that’s not all!

The awesomeness of the internet goes even further than that! Yes, it can help you enjoy the world around you, but it can also help you become the best version of you. You can learn another language, research any topic, develop any skill and even get that job you’ve been after. The internet is a huge resource for just about everything – from communication to research. It’s a virtual world of tutorials, how-tos, and databases, and it is all a thumb-tap away. It’s important to appreciate the greatness of the internet, but it is even more important to understand exactly how to use it.

The internet is a great resource for anyone looking for a job, regardless of your past experience, current job, education or the area you live in. If you have access to the internet, you'll find that preparing for the application process and actually finding and applying for quality jobs suddenly becomes easier. If you don't have time to waste, consider using the internet to find a job sooner rather than later.

Tools such as MoveUp can be all Gandalf the Grey and take you through short courses to help you make the most of the internet and level up! And the best part is it’s free!

With MoveUp you can learn how to use the web as a research tool and learn about the do’s and don’ts of social media, the internet and the workplace, how to communicate effectively through email and how to take care of your mental health, as well as about other important things to remember when using the net. Take the course now, you won’t be sorry!
