Companies are hiring again
but, you still have to do your homework.
As a recruiting organization, we receive lots of calls in a
week about the job market. As you know,
the numbers are all over the board. In
the unemployment rate really 7-8% or is it 13-15% counting all those who have
dropped out of the job market?
Recent surveys indicate that what ever the real rate is, the
job market is improving. In our
recruiting industry, we look at the marketplace much like a realtor. There is a buyers market and a sellers
market. In our industry there is a
company market and a candidate market.
When the economy gets tough (like the last few years) the companies
drive the market. But we are quickly
moving into a candidate driven market and it is going to take special skills to
find the talent companies are looking to hire.
Companies added 188,000 jobs in June, according to the ADP National
Employment Report http://www.adpemploymentreport.com/2013/June/NER/NER-June-2013.aspx
, up from 134,000 jobs added in May.
In our conversations with candidates, we try to focus on
their accomplishments rather than the normal fluff you see in a resume. It is the accomplishments that will show a
potential employer what you can bring to the table. It’s what we call a
Features/Benefits/Accomplishment profile and it is what gets a Hiring Manager’s
attention.
