Our economy has been tough.This was said by Schleisner who lost his position as a software developement director at Siemens in a big layoff.He has been working part-time since the layoff.He seems to have alot of skills,however alot of places are holding on hiring or if there is a good job.He is now using a career counseling firm that recommends aggressive networking.And also pursuing six employment possibilities at one time.He was told by the career counselor at the firm that when responding to ads on the internet it could be a long wait.

You should try and get into theese companies before they're even posting they're jobs.It's called chasing the industry ,not the job. I think that if you create enough contacts things will start to open up.

The firm also told him that practicing a two minute pitch to present to possible employers.Describing you skills and qualifications and also the ability to contribute to a firm in 120 seconds.

I'm seeing that it is getting tougher to find jobs.As buisness executives fear recessionmany of them are trimming staff instead of expanding.Our economy has lost 63,000 jobs last month,the worst monthly lost in the last 5 years.Our unemployment rate remained at 4.8% in February,the economists are saying that its only because many discouraged job seekers stop searching.And also dropping out of the workforce,at least as the Government measures the nation's pool of people willing to work.

Our employment market is only getting worse a Chairman and CEO executive Brian Sullivan of a recruiting firm CTPartners said. A big number of openings that CTPartner is filling are resulting from turnovers rather than growth at client companies Sullivan said.

 

Bill Heyman owner of Heyman Associates,an executive search firm sepecializing in  corporate communications said  he noticed that once companies make a decission to hire they are moving quickly.

He also said that clients are worried a hiring freeze may occur,so many companies are being attentive about getting the jobs filled.

It just shows that we really are in a recession  and something has to be done.It's just depressing to see the amount of americans I mean good hard working people that  had homes and went to work everyday thats out on the street now with no place to go, lots of them out in L.A. are pitching tents and living under a bridge.I don't know how our country is going to fix this situation but someone has to do something ASAP!

Good information Scott.  you have to "Prospect" for a job and the more contacts you make, the better chances you have.  Also, I used to to the hiring for a small company, and the one thing I did was watch how someone was dressed. 

1 Be clean!

2 Dress for the job! (They may need you right away and you could start right then and there) Don't wear a suit to a construction site or jeans for a high level office job.

3 Stand straight, look the person in the eye, and talk clear and moderatly slow so that you are understood.

Good Luck to all
