10 Pointers About Your Competencies for an Employer
At the midst of the economic recession the number of unemployed individuals across the US is still climbing and this is true many parts of the world. There are some signals of employment initiatives but many people are in pain because of the absence of real employment opportunity.
Reality Check:
a. Unemployment statistics are still rising, companies continue to close their doors
b. Very few employers are hiring on selective positions
c. At job boards, many job openings are being advertised but candidates who applied do not get any response, call back from recruiters or messages from the hiring organization
d. Advertised job descriptions bear a ridiculous functional requirements e. Position titles demonstrate a mid management role but its actual function is administrative function
f. There are so many senior level and experienced professionals who are out of job(managers, executives alike, notwithstanding with the junior individuals)
g. There are organizations that are still laying-off employees
h. Very few firms hire experienced professionals based on their experience because many do not like to pay a reasonable compensation to their experience and qualification but instead hire a junior individual but cannot execute the right function of the job
Where to find the right employment is the key question?
Current Paradigm Challenges:
The paradigm of current employment landscape has changed significantly and is absolutely different these days. Current hiring practices and procedures are influenced by the information technology driven applicant tracking system. You cannot speak live with a person who will hire a qualified person. Every candidate is required to complete their web-based application form. Unfortunately, there are web portals of these employers that are not user-friendly.
The ethics of the hiring process have changed. Corporate Recruiters do not have the basic etiquette and professionalism of communicating to their candidate. Many firms use the phrase 'customized service in doing business with them'. But when comes to hiring practices majority of these companies do not train their corporate recruiters to be pro-active and demonstrate the 'customised service'. Acknowledging an application with a personal email is not that difficult to do. It enables a certain degree of professional appeal and respect from the candidate and that action when provided it will reinforce and align to the branding of the firm.
What Are the Ten Pointers of the Job Seeker:
For individuals who are seeking employment, it may be necessary to look at your personal value and professional competencies. To gain better opportunities, consider the following options.
