[...] Australian Employment Level MAY Fall to 94%! It could just as easily have said, “Employment Level Set to Drop 1.7 Percent”. Good news however, doesn’t sell papers and the problem with this type of negative reporting is that it frightens those people in our community for whom … [...]

Comment on Finding Jobs in a Tough Economy by Robin Henry

Wotscoprop, thanks for bringing this to our attention.

I’d suggest it’s too early to give the employment agencies the flick given the hundreds of thousands of jobs they are still advertising. In a recession, employers still need employees. However, it’s possible that smaller firms will reduce their spending on recruitment in the short term.

Whatever the truth, Hound.Com is another tool for job seekers to add to their box of job search strategies.

Regards

Robin

I have heard so many people talking about this that I am sure it comes as no surprise to say that the best way to find jobs in a recession is to investigate jobs on employer websites:

-employers do not use recruiters in recessions because they cost money
-job boards are flooded with applicants

People just do not look for jobs on employer websites. There are thousands of employer websites in most cities and many of the job sit on there for months without applications.

This is where most of the jobs are and I found this far more effective than other means.

I started using a research jobs site called Hound that I do not think anyone knows about because it is run by a small company that does not advertise.

All Hound.com does is show you unadvertised job openings that are not publicly advertised and are located on employer websites.

Very few people realize that most employers post their job on their own sites and not on job boards like Monster, CareerBuilder, etc. because these sites charge employers up to $500 to post a single job. In my experience (I am getting more interviews that I ever have), your chances of getting interviews and hired are much better when you are applying to jobs that are not advertised that no one knows about.

I have gotten a ton of interviews through the Hound site. If you are looking for a job I would highly recommend using Hound . What most people do not realize is that most jobs are found on employer websites and not job boards. Hound puts all of the jobs it finds from employer websiste (every Fortune 500, Inc. 500 and other company it can locate) on its site.

When you start seeing sites advertise themselves a lot that should be a warning sign of sorts because that means that lots of people will start going and applying to the jobs. I really trust Hound because it does not advertise. You can find the site at http://www.hound.com

I hope it expands too. I’m a frequent visitor to LinkMe and have found staff there to be making a genuine effort to find jobs for people.

I promote LinkMe at every opportunity because I think it’s a worthwhile company.

Thanks for the ping. I was going to mention the social networking part of LinkMe, but thought the posting resume part deserved being highlighted. It is a good site and I hope it expands its reach to include jobs in the USA and other countries.

Mary

Businesses who employ unconsionable/unethical conduct won’t stay in business long after the word gets around.

People will vote with their feet and go work for someone who is fair and honest.

It also highlights the need to be careful about whom one works for.

Thanks for your comments.

Have Mystery Shopped for over 12 years and love it — but just had worst experiences with shyster new company in Australia (apparently they are international) XEC-Gapbusters.. these cunning crooks get shoppers to do reports and then find silly faults — like you spent one cent below demand.. or you spent over amount — or get this one — you purchase over the amount required and then trader gives you discount of twenty cents on ten dollars and Gapbusters refuse to pay you… Now that is fine and dandy and their choice… but they still submit your report in full to the company and collect the cash for your work. They obviously don’t realise they do not own report copywrite unless they have paid for shop… dirty dealings.. a well publicised law suit might just force them to see the light.
