Job Opportunity

 

Job Opportunity - It's a jungle out there!

The ways that we go about a job opportunity / employment search have changed. It used to be that you could call a few job headhunters, send out some job resumes and look for job ads in your Saturday newspaper.

The telephones, voice mail, fax machines, computers, email and the Internet have given us new ways to proactively find jobs.

All employers, employment agencies and executive headhunters are investing in new state-of-the-art computer systems to increase efficiency in storing and processing job resume information.

Today's human resources department is leaner (and often, meaner) then in the 90s. With fewer people hiring, but with an ever-increasing pile of job applications something had to give up.

Pretending that it is business as usual when it comes to finding work is futile. You cannot afford to ignore the following:

• Companies are relying increasingly on technology to screen applicants. Today companies ask to fax in your CV / resume. Many more are now requesting to email your job applicationThese trends accelerate as resume scanning and electronic applicants screening & tracking become widely used.

• The downsizing of human resources departments, in many corporations, has resulted in a situation whereby many CVs / resumes are never seen by human eyes once they enter the electronic systems!

• Hi-tech companies want hi-tech employees. If you plan to work in the computer, engineering or similar field, you will find most positions posted on the Internet. In fact, the technology companies only advertise for workers there. The message is:

If you cannot find us, we do not want you!

• Look at the employment agencies ads in today's newspapers. Did you notice that many companies have included their corporate World Wide Web address? They want you to look at their Web site before your job interview!

• Computer literacy is a requirement! Even junior positions and low-tech companies demand basic computer skills.

• There are millions of CVs and resumes posted on the Internet. You take a chance that an employer or a headhunter is going to find your CV or resume among these millions.

• You have a much better chance if you contact job headhunters and companies directly, through our job search services, rather then waiting for them to find you.

So, use the most powerful job search engine on the Internet to date!
