Job seekers can also get access to the latest job listings, which information were provided by those who know the company best -- the employees. You can also research for open jobs, your earning potential, and see what it's really like to work at thousands of companies worldwide. With the help of this app, looking for a new job can never get easier.

Computer Problems: Searching for an Answer to Something that is Not Even a Problem

Like any other machine, a computer problem may crop up now and then. However, not all computer problems should cause either panic or an immediate call to your tech support company. There are actually common computer problems that can be fixed with a simple Internet search. Below are some common computer problems and their immediate solutions, which you can follow by yourself. Sometimes, the problem turns out not to be a problem after all.

A Windows 10 Update Keeps Popping Up

A most recent “problem” that has bugged many Microsoft users of Windows OS below Windows 10 is the free upgrade being offered by the company. Yes, it’s free and no, it’s not a scam. It’s Microsoft’s way of thanking its legion of customers while at the same time finding retribution for the bug failures in Windows 8, so they skipped 9, and are now offering a Windows 10 upgrade for free. The popups regularly reminds the user to register and upgrade from Windows 7 or 8. However, some users are already satisfied with their present Windows OS and don’t want the upgrade. Also, this popup window still comes out even if the user purchased a computer with a pre-installed Windows 10. If the popup bothers you, a simple search on the Internet (type “how to get rid of Windows 10 popup” on any search engine) will reveal to you at least 6 ways to disable or permanently get rid of the popup window.

“My Computer is running slow”

Unless it’s an issue with the hardware or the OS itself, a computer tends to operate more slowly as time goes by or if a lot of work is being done. A simple search on the Internet can resolve this issue and there will be many suggestions to try out in order to speed up your PC such as, rebooting, closing background programs using Task Manager, deleting Temp files, freeing more hard drive space, scanning for malware or viruses, checking Windows updates, and updating the drivers. You only need to follow the instructions to go about these suggestions.

If any minor “problem” comes up, try this first

Sometimes some “problems” are merely bugs in the system. The solution may be a no-brainer: Restart the computer. Most of the time, a simple restart will freshen up your computer and gets rid of those system bugs. It seems this long standing maxim works wonders and you don’t even have to do an Internet search.

‘There is a problem with this website’s security certificate’

Website security certificates sync up with your computer’s clock and an issue crops up if you have an incorrect system clock. Follow the instructions online to enter your clock in the system tray to change date and time settings in order to correct this type of issue.
