Classified Ads – Pros and Cons
The job search has one more face: now you can place your ‘position wanted’ ad on Internet message boards or in classifieds. Of course, placing ads in the classifieds is nothing new. Again, it is not without its share of pros and cons. But, now the hot point of discussion is the advent of help wanted ads on the Internet and their pros and cons.
When someone got through to an interview a couple of years ago, it was not the usual thing, for it was because he had advertised on the positions wanted classified.
Pros Of Wanted Ads
There are many upsides to advertising when you are in need of a job; you can do this in addition to posting your online resume. You can use this combination cleverly by linking them to each other. However, the clear advantages of posting “position wanted” ads are here:
1.Since these ‘job wanted’ ads are placed by you, you can be sure that you can use the space to your advantage. Try to post the message exactly as you want it. It gives you flexibility and freedom to plan your ad yourself. Be prepared to spend a few dollars if you want to do this. Some placement advertising sites ask for a monthly fee, which ranges from $9.95 to $29.50.
2.They keep your identity almost anonymous by automated transmission of messages to your mailbox. Websites protect their candidates’ identity and privacy very strictly so replies and all correspondences thereafter will be channeled through them. But when they allow personal identity, use a free email account created for this purpose.
3.Updating your ad can’t get easier than this. You can go on refining your ad very easily and whenever you want. Be specific in stating who you are and what you want; eliminate any possible ambiguities in the ad language. Furthermore, you can also specify the salary you expect.
Cons Of Position Wanted Ads
This is the other side of the coin which can’t be completely eliminated. Here are a few cons of advertising yourself:
1.There are not too many websites to advertise position wanted ads; therefore, the low popularity attracts very few recruiters and hiring managers. Secondly, they draw far less web traffic than resume databases and job placement sites, meaning that headhunters and job seekers prefer resume databases to placing ads.
2.Technically speaking, both resumes and ad sites are equally searchable depending on the optimization work that they have had done. As all are keyword searchable, the keywords play a key role in making your ad searchable.
3.Some recruiters appear to disregard advertisers as desperate people wanting a job but that still couldn’t pick up the phone and talk to recruiters.
Other cons may include misusing of your email ID by spammers and junk mailers. However, when all is said and done, and when all that matters is bagging a good job, it is not a bad idea to advertise yourself.

To me, being a vegetarian means taking actions to stop the horrible cruelty happening in factory farms. I don’t wear animal skin, use animal tested products, or eat any meat. No by-products ether, like gelartin. I eat dairy and eggs though.
A balanced vegetarian diet is better for overall health than an omnivorous diet because it is low in saturated fat in cholesterol. Becoming vvegetarian decreased your risk of developing heart disease by about 35%.
However, an unhealthy vegetarian diet, like living just on lettuce and carrots, can have serious negative effects on your health. Vegetarianism is better for the ennvironment becase it cuts out the mat industry and lessens consumption of fossil fuels by that industry.
If you only eat poultry then you are not a vegetarian. You are an omnivore. If you only eat fish you are considered a pescetarian, but you cannot call yoursef a vegetarian.
Vegetarians will not eat any meat. Most still consume dairy and eggs.
Vegans will not eat, wear, or use any animal products.
Pros (stated above)
Cons- you miss the taste of meat at first, but you forget over time.
I have tried out both diets, and I much prefer vegetarianism.

A vegetarian doesn’t eat meat. I don’t eat meat but I still eat dairy products although I try and stay away from them.
I believe it’s better health wise as long as you get the appropriate amount of proteins and vitamins you’re missing out on.
If you eat only certain meats then you’re not a vegetarian.
A vegetarian doesn’t eat animals, a vegan doesn’t eat anything that comes from animals including dairy products and such.

PROS:
You will feel better healthier since meat is high in fat and is packed with chemicals and hormones that they pump the animals with before they are killed-Less that 1% of vegetarians and vegans are overweight
You will feel good about yourself, since you will no longer be a part of the pain and death of so many animals
You will be opened up to a variety of new foods that you may not have thought to try before
You will be helping the environment, since factory farms contaminate water and air, and huge amounts of resources are used on raising animals for slaughter
CONS:
You may have a hard time for the first month or so finding alternatives to meat for taste and health reasons. However, it shouldn’t take you long to realize how many options are available to you. Tofu as well as soy meat substitutes (that taste like meat but contain none) are better for you that actual meat and are still packed with protein.
There aren’t any others. Being a vegetarian is a great choice for you, the animals, and the planet. Just make sure to get enough protein and you’ll be fine! Feel free to message me with any questions-good luck!

you are more than likely going to get biased opinions asking this question in this section
ask it in the diet section
anyway, there are many pros because eating fruit and vegetables is so healthy for you
however in order to have a balanced diet meat is also very good.. so by being a vegetarian you are denying yourself a completely balanced diet
if you havent fully grown yet (under 21) i wouldnt recommend it.. my cousin ‘became vegetarian’ when he was about 13. and he got so sick and the doctor told him he had to keep eating meat. so he stopped.
