Congratulations! What’s next?

EzyLearn Office Admin Course student testimonials

Is your name on this list?

I want to thank the following students for choosing EzyLearn and graduating from their Office Admin and Bookkeeping short courses.

At this point we don’t speak with some students again because they have the new skills they want and they use them to find work or do better in their jobs. That is a sad part of the training business for me.

Some students take advantage of our Career Academy services and stay around to get exposure to employers and other students.

MYOB Business is AccountRight & Essentials but can it catch up to Xero?

MYOB has fallen behind in recent years to other accounting software like Xero.  With Xero’s cloud accounting-first strategy, it’s become a leading software in Australia, New Zealand, the UK, and Canada – by focusing on integrations and simple accounting solutions.

MYOB, on the other hand, has caused confusion over its multiple products and unexpected updates, which have since caused users to gravitate away from it.

Now, its repackaged MYOB Essentials and AccountRight under one cloud-based solution.  Will this solve its problems?

Announcement: New! Course Funding for MYOB AccountRight Training Courses

Learn accounting, office administration, payroll and digital marketing for $20 per week

The dollar is tanking, trade is down, house prices are still going down, consumer spending is the lowest for a decade, wage growth is slow! It sounds pretty bad when you read the news and business articles isn’t it?

One thing I’ve noticed for sure is that course prices are going down and competition is increasing, not just from other physical training centres in Sydney, Melbourne and Perth but also larger US and overseas companies who will promise anything to make a sale!

We’ve always prided ourselves on offering low course prices direct to students and now we’ve gone a step further.

Why such cheap online Xero & MYOB courses?

woman with laptop talking with business man

Good quality can be cheap and poor quality may be the most expensive

OFTEN IN LIFE we’re told that if something seems too good to be true then it probably is. Along the same lines as this is the expression that you get what you pay for. Indeed, I’ve commonly used the phrase: “Pay peanuts and you’ll get monkeys” but naturally, there are exceptions to this and plenty of cases where low cost can simply mean low cost – without meaning that quality or value has been compromised.

Does Your Family Support Your Study?

Career Academy support for online MYOB Training and Xero Bookkeeping Courses with Accounting Tutors

Online MYOB Courses are flexible but…

ONLINE TRAINING IS one of the most convenient ways for busy people to study. While some people take to it naturally, for others the flexibility and freedom it affords itself is a learning curve.

The key to successful online training, however, is family support and we’ve noticed that many students for our Xero & MYOB Courses are parents who are stretched for time.

How to nail the job search process using SEEK’s advanced job search features

Seek Job Application Process and Resume Scanning - how does it compare to SpotEd Xero & MYOB Short Courses

I was speaking with someone who just landed a part-time job, in-fact a contract position, even though the job was advertised as a full-time job.

The job seeker was telling me about the advanced new features of Australia’s leading job board, including:

  • New Profiles (just like your LinkedIn Profile)
  • Resume Scanning
  • Job Recommendations
  • “You may be a strong candidate”
  • “Your application is unlikely to proceed further”

Don’t you just love something new? Some entrepreneurs I know call it the “shiny object” syndrome because it means you’re always focusing your time and energy on something new, rather than doing the daily drudge work. But this is exciting.

I haven’t had a chance to speak with every registrant but this image shows the EzyLearn students who’ve completed our accounting & bookkeeping courses and would love to be tutors to help other students understand how the software is used in the real world.

Reasons Why Seek is Number 1 for Accounting Job Search

Seek Profile will help you find accounting jobs using keywords, key skills and accounting education details - Xero Jobs, MYOB Jobs

Our team did a little research into job sites for accounting jobs and thought we’d explore a bit about why people like using the major job board in Australia.

The biggest reason is that they are the biggest job board in Australia so most advertisers spend the little bit extra to promote their positions available at the site. But there are some great tools for job seekers to be registered on the site. Continue reading Reasons Why Seek is Number 1 for Accounting Job Search

Just be yourself

Silly Season Online Training Course Special Offers for Online Training Courses in Xero, MYOB, Excel, WordPress, Digital Marketing, Microsoft Office Skills

If you’re looking for a job it’s a daunting process because you have to sell yourself to an employer and most people don’t have to do this very often. Parents returning from parenting can find it particularly daunting because they’ve found themselves surrounded by nappies, cleaning, cooking and washing and the thought of presenting themselves to other adults can be scary.

I’ve spoken to some EzyLearn students in the last couple weeks about our Accounting Course Tutor Initiative and have been impressed at how capable many of them (you) are!

Why Older People are Saving Startups

older workers mature age employees startup bookkeeping business_comp

There’s a growing freelancer economy in Australia which is being driven by the decreasing number of full time jobs.

Freelancing and working as a contractor is popular among young workers due to fewer job vacancies that exist because older workers are remaining in their jobs for longer.

There’s also more women with children starting their own businesses and working as freelancers and contractors. Without generalising older contractors don’t try to pretend they’re something they’re not and business respect their experience – AND small businesses need these people.

See yourself as a personal trainer — for business

man on treadmill carrying weight wearing business suitACCOUNTANTS DO GREAT WORK for their clients (so be sure to see our EOFY checklist and our EOFY series of blogs for tax preparation for how to keep ’em happy). Accountants find ways to help them save money, make money, and improve the profitability of their businesses.
