Bad News begats Bad News. Layoffs are everywhere, banks are failing, mass fraud has occured. -and on a sidenote, it always seems to be that those that are 'greedy' seem to get their asses caught in the hard times too. (Madoff anyone?)
Have you been laid off? Are you facing layoffs? Do you know whose hiring? Rolled the dice only to find out you have been contacted by 2,354 recruiting firms for the same position? Got a monster on your back? Ever sat and filled out roughly 150-500 job postings, only to never be contacted again? (Ever wonder why? There are MILLIONS of persons resumes on Monster/Dice/CareerBuilder). You are competing with them.
What makes you special? You know that you are supremely qualified for that position you applied for. But you didn't do what? Follow up? Send a nicely worded cover letter/e-mail. Didn't really get to talk to a real person? Did you make an attempt?
Are you currently un-employed, or under-employed? Gotten into a pattern of "Dice/Monster/CareerBuilder/HotJobs" every day for the last month? Put out a 'thousand' resumes and you haven't gotten a bite, nor a nibble. But YOU COULD PAY and extra $30 bucks a month to find out who has been looking at your resume on Dice.
I've heard it all, people grousing about how The Ladders is a shill for a resume re-deux service. And the complainers seem to be the ones without the jobs. I for one think that you pay for a service, and receive exactly what you pay for.
So who IS hiring right now?
The Government, and their subsequent talent....Government Contractors. They come in all sizes from the small one man shop to the global-reaching multi-billion dollar organizations.
