March 30th 2007 00:27
Copywriters write the words used in advertisements for newspapers, radio, television, magazines, and other media. Copywriters may also write publicity releases, promotional or informational booklets, sales promotion materials, or they may work on merchandising campaigns. They sometimes write radio and television commercials or trade journal articles about products or services. At times copywriters may be called upon to edit or rewrite existing copy. copywriters may be assigned to a variety of accounts and must be versatile enough to adjust to each new product and medium and to vary the language and tone of each message.


Some broadcasting stations employ Copywriters to prepare advertising material and station announcements. No matter the size of the operation, copywriters must be knowledgeable about copy writing, art and layout, space and time buying and selling copy. In small firms, copywriters may help co-workers fulfill these functions. The duties are varied and require thorough knowledge of the agency's operations.

Hydrologist

March 27th 2007 00:16
Hydrology is the study of the occurrence, distribution, quality and movement of water in both natural and people-affected environments. Hydrologists contribute to the efficient planning, development and optimal, sustainable utilisation of available water resources, to ensure that sufficient water of acceptable quality can be supplied in the most cost-effective manner.

Hydrographers measure, describe and map the earth's surface waters (including oceans, seas, rivers, lakes, estuaries and the water in channels and pipes). They are also involved in collecting and analysing information on surface and below-surface flow and quality. Hydrographers work in offices and in the field (on land, underground, or in ships, boats or planes

Herpetologist

March 26th 2007 00:04
Herpetology is a sub-field of biology, which specialises in the field of reptiles and amphibians. The job is similar to that of paleontologists, entomologists or ethologists, but herpetologists deal with snakes, lizards, frogs, alligators, turtles and other reptilian and amphibious creatures. The most desired herpetology jobs involve extensive research doing species population counts, observing general behavior of select animals, conducting food supply studies and sometimes even searching for new species.

Jobs in herpetology and biology in general traditionally fall into four areas: university employment, government work (including state and federal), medical related work, and zoological park or museum staff. More recently, industrial and medical biotechnology have emerged as areas with new and exciting opportunities for biological research

Economist

March 23rd 2007 00:15
Understanding what's happening locally and globally is all in a day's work for an economist who studies the way society, organisations and individuals produce, exchange, and buy and sell goods and services. They undertake these studies in order to explain the present and predict the future, and to provide this critical information to the wider community. Economists monitor economic activity in order to understand what's happening in various markets, why people are making particular purchasing and financial decisions, and what impact this may have on prices, interest rates, production levels, employment and wages.

Most economists focus on a particular area of economic activity. For example, economists working in banks or financial advisory firms may analyse a range of economic indicators, in order to advise clients about likely good investments or advise institutions such as banks about lending policy.

Bank Officer

March 22nd 2007 01:59
Bank officers advise customers about the different accounts into which they can deposit their money, and inform them about any terms and conditions. Once they've set up your account, bank officers will deposit money into your account, and pay you out money on request, assuming that there's money still left in your account.

They can also assist customers with loans. That car you've been admiring, but can't pay cash for, could be yours if you get an approved loan. Setting up investment funds such as fixed term accounts, and organising foreign currency for people who are off on an overseas holiday, are areas also handled by a bank officer.

They are involved in projects from beginning to end, from site selection and design through to completion, working closely with clients, with a range of professionals including surveyors, engineers, builders and interior designers, and with officials from local planning and building control departments. Many architects specialise in a particular field, such as conservation or urban design

Business Systems Analyst

March 20th 2007 00:46
When an organisation decides to change something about the way it does business, it's likely that the firm will also have to change its information systems. Business systems analysts, who are also known as business analysts or business systems planners, are the people who can help. The business analyst examines the company's goals and the systems that it has in place to meet those goals. They then determine how to maximise efficiency, or improve a company's operations through the application of computer systems.

If a company has an IT problem, or simply realises that it has to upgrade its information technology capacity to remain competitive, the expert skills of a business systems analyst may be called upon.

Agricultural Scientist

March 15th 2007 00:14
To be an agricultural scientist it makes sense to have an interest in agriculture, to demonstrate strong communication skills, be able to tackle problems head on and and work effectively in a team. It also helps if you are accurate, observant, and have good organisational skills. You will be expected to initiate research. Initiative is the key word.

Discoveries such as the new methanogen vaccine for sheep, or tackling a locust invasion in the Western Australian wheatbelt, are just two examples of how good research can pay huge dividends for our rural communities.

Electrical Engineer

March 13th 2007 01:03
A global positioning system that can pinpoint a car's location. Giant generators that can power entire cities. A new design for an airplane's electrical system. Electrical and electronics engineers work on high-tech projects like these.

Electrical engineers design new and better electronics. They also test equipment and solve problems. A project starts by deciding what the new electronics will do. Then, the engineer designs the circuits and other parts of the electronics. Engineers might draw their designs using a computer.

Dermatologist

March 9th 2007 00:55
Dermatologists are specially trained to diagnose, treat and prevent diseases of the skin. And in a harsh climate like Australia's where an alarming number of people are diagnosed with sun-damage related diseases, a dermatologist's skills are highly valued. Dermatologists, who are specialist medical practitioners, treat people with skin problems that range from mild acne to malignant skin cancer.

It is estimated that about one in ten people visiting a general practitioner suffers from a skin complaint. Although not all of them are as life threatening or debilitating as skin cancer, they can be embarrassing and irritating and in need of immediate attention. While most cases of skin disease will be treated by a general practitioner, those that require specialist diagnosis and treatment will be referred to a dermatologist.

Gaming Worker

March 8th 2007 00:41
Dealers, also known as croupiers, operate and run gambling tables such as roulette, blackjack, baccarat, two up, big and small and poker.

The role of a dealer involves much more than just shuffling and dishing out cards. They must make sure that the rules and regulations of the game and the casino are followed by the patrons and they may be required to explain the rules to some customers. They decide on the winners and losers and calculate and pay out the winnings.

Panel Beater

March 7th 2007 00:34
If your vehicle has been involved in an accident, or you want to spruce up your car body before selling, it's a panel beater that you need. They are able to repair or replace parts of cars such as metal bonnets and fibreglass fenders. And most will tell you that their work is varied and not short of the odd challenge.

Panel beaters need to be skilled at using machines or hand tools. They may use oxy-acetylene (cutting) equipment to remove damaged panels or body parts, specialised equipment including a special 'planishing' hammer to remove dents and electric welding equipment to refit a repaired or replaced panel back onto a vehicle frame.

Building Designer

March 6th 2007 01:41
Building designers play a central and defining role in the aesthetics, functionality and design documentation of much of the built environment. The main employers are architects, building designers and builders. The role of building designers and architectural drafters covers a wide range of professional services including: site evaluation; feasibility studies; interpreting plans, regulations and codes of practice; conceptual design; design development; council submissions; supervision; project management; and contract administration. Building designers are integral to each of these processes.

Building designers can find themselves working either on residential or commercial projects. Building designers and architectural practice design teams often specialise in a particular area of design or construction, from houses to hospitals, shopping centres or sustainable communities, or the restoration of religious buildings. Anything that can be built, a building designer can specialise in. However, designers aren't necessarily limited to their area of speciality as many start in one area and move to another, or continually take on a variety of projects. They work primarily in offices but also spend time on building sites, working regular hours, although extra hours may need to be invested in order to meet project deadlines.

Musician

March 5th 2007 00:37
Musicians often gain their reputation or professional standing by exhibiting a high level of professionalism and proficiency in a particular kind of music or performance. However, those who learn several related instruments and who can perform equally well in several musical styles have better employment opportunities. Instrumental musicians, for example, may play in a symphony orchestra, rock group, or jazz combo one night, appear in another ensemble the next, and work in a studio band the following day. Some play a variety of string, brass, woodwind, or percussion instruments or electronic synthesizers.

Musicians typically perform at night and on weekends. They spend much additional time practicing or in rehearsal. Full-time musicians with long-term employment contracts, such as those with symphony orchestras or television and film production companies, enjoy steady work and less travel. Nightclub, solo, or recital musicians frequently travel to perform in a variety of local settings and may tour nationally or internationally. Because many musicians find only part-time or intermittent work, experiencing unemployment between engagements, they often supplement their income with other types of jobs. The stress of constantly looking for work leads many musicians to accept permanent, full-time jobs in other occupations, while working only part time as musicians.

Instrument Fitter

March 2nd 2007 00:54
Instrument fitters assemble and install, and then authorise, the use of precise electrical, electronic and mechanical instruments that measure and regulate the performance of processes and the equipment driving them. Such equipment can range from water pumps to autoclaves (a huge oven-like vessel used in mineral processing). The instrument fitter's main responsibility is to ensure that these instruments remain in good working condition.

Production processes and the instrumentation systems that regulate them need constant monitoring. That way, system faults can be identified sooner, and repairs undertaken more effectively.
