Rise of the Female Trader

Many people’s image of traders is one of a brash, well-to-do male who often lets his heart rule his head when it comes to making a decision on whether to go long or short on a certain market. However, the fact that more women than ever before are getting involved in both spread betting and CFD trading shows that there’s no reason why women of all ages, occupations and income level cannot get involved.

The infographic displayed, which was created by City Index, also hints that there are a number of women traders who work in roles which aren’t readily associated with trading. Many of the people surveyed were at the time of publication working as teachers, with others working in retail and the legal industry, while a fair few are housewives. Also, the data proves that even working full-time jobs doesn’t place restrictions on the amount of time needed to trade.

New Wiring Norms For UK Electricians: Your Man Needs to Know This

It was a Friday night and we were supposed to go out for a fancy dinner at the Chisou restaurant in Mayfair to try their sushi — as they’re said to have the freshest fish in whole London. It was already late and my husband has his mobile turned off. I started to worry; 30 minutes later, with our reservation already missed, I’m getting a call and I hear “Hi hun, we’ll have to reschedule our dinner as I’ll be a tiny bit late, I managed to burn myself at work.”

I went nuts as my husband was taken to the hospital for first aid. A few hours later I was caring for him at home and instead of enjoying our sushi menu, we started talking about security measures for electricians and why he wasn’t paying much attention. It was then that both me and my husband realized how important it is to follow rules. It’s actually the whole reason of this post. If any of you ladies have electrician husbands, they should know that there are new rules in the UK.

Though the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET) has already brought to the table their IET Wiring Regulations, a majority of electricians in the UK are yet to comply with the new norms.

Going by what the IET believes, as many as 76% of electricians in the UK still don’t have a copy of the new regulations. Though not considered a statutory requirement, adhering to the new norms is seen as making it possible for the electricians to achieve compliance with the Electricity at Work Regulations 1989.

Further, IET suggests it would also help them meet the requirements of the Building Regulations of England and Wales, of Scotland and of Northern Ireland.

Life between jobs or what to do while you’re unemployed

I always imagined that once entered into what people call work, we have to remain there permanently, I have to grab to pull my soul than when the state will start to calculate my tiny pension. And I woke up wanting to run to the edge of the field, looking at the plot as I worked it so far and I choose another.

Americans have an interesting thing: it says that the economy in the U.S. is calculated according to the migration and active population (i.e. if the U.S. keeps changing employee services in a state to another and supports professional challenges that require moving, if all goes well for the country). But not everyone has that.

In Eastern Europe if you get yourself hired it’s like vouching to yourself to remain on the job until you’re 60. If that’s not your case and you have just left dreaming of a better job, but you don’t have it just yet, here are some tips to help you get better than “unemployed”.

Women Who Delay Their First Baby Until Establishing Career, More Vulnerable to Postpartum Depression

British scientists have concluded that postnatal depression is more acute for women who decide to give birth only after having completed their career.

To work or not to work?

If you have only recently become a parent or your children are about to begin pre-school for the very first time, you may wish to consider a part time job whilst they are studying. Such a role will allow you make an income but it will also allow you to spend more time with your children when they are at home.

Part time work is generally preferred by both students and women with young families and will usually require the employee to work between 10 and 30 hours per week.

The beauty of part time work is that it is generally flexible and those that wish to entertain the work can often work the hours around their lifestyles.

For example someone studying will probably need most of their days free, they will therefore require a job position that allows them to work either weekends or evenings. Those with young children however will require a position that allows them to work when the kids are at school, or in childcare, and one that will allow them to be at home when their children are.

There are many advantages of part time work; of course the main advantage is the time gained, which allows you to spend a lot more time with your family. A full time job on the other hand will require you to get up early in order to make it on time to the office and often not get home till late due to traffic or a long and tiring commute.

The time saved by cutting out the above will allow you to take part in other activities throughout the week, this could mean pursuing other interests such as new hobbies, a sport, community service or a study course.

The many emotional benefits of part time work revolve around working fewer hours, which will mean you will see more of your children, friends and family. If you are seeking part time opportunities then visit http://www.workingmums.co.uk.
