Want to know what the Hottest Jobs are?
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, U.S. Department of Labor, and other sources, recently released 10-year employment projections show total employment in the U.S. growing by 14 percent through 2008, which is slightly lower than the 17 percent growth in employment during the 1988-1998 period.

The five fastest occupations are all technology related: computer engineers, computer support specialists, systems analysts, database administrator, and desktop publishing specialists – adding about 1.5 million jobs to the workforce.



Avoiding these Interview mistakes could win you the job.

Even though we're still enjoying one of the hottest job markets in decades, career advisors warn that you still won't land your dream job if you don't do well at the job interview.

Many job hunters unwittingly sabotage their own chances by making common, but easily avoidable, interview mistakes. They will agonize over their resumes and cover letters but rehearse only minutes for what arguably is the most vital step in the whole job hunting process.

Here are five common interviewing blunders that can cost you the job:



eMail Nettiquette

While e-mail has opened new lines of communication between job seeker and employers, it is imperative that job seekers follow suggested rules of "netiquette" when using this option. In the real world of work, manners are expected. If an applicant is too casual or familiar in their approach, electronically or otherwise, an employer is turned-off immediately. Communicate professionally at all times.

Are You A Job Hopper? Better Watch Out

Over the past decade, job-hopping has become the rage, with executives bouncing from employer to employer in search of higher salaries, bigger perks and more stock options. It's been especially true in the technology arena, but let's face it: The job-jumping craze has infected just about all of Corporate America. One result is that a deep swath has been cut through the management ranks at many companies. Some top executives are so concerned that they have made keeping and finding talent their No. 1 priority.

But the movement toward ever-more-frenetic job-jumping may be about to reverse. What some overly mobile employees are just now beginning to realize is that job-hopping can be dangerous to their health, wealth and resume. The biggest danger is not the stress of taking on new jobs, the agony job relocation can bring to working spouses or school-age kids, or even the fact that all those supposedly valuable stock options can end up worthless. No, the main threat posed by frantic job-jumping may prove to be the damage it can do to one's career.


 

 

eRecruiting: The Challenge is Here
Jeffrey W. Brown

editors note - Jeff will conduct a seminar on this subject at the NeoCon Tradeshow in Chicago June 18 from 1-2PM Room 216. On-site sign up is available, stop by Booth I440 for a complimentary pass to the seminar.

The Internet is quickly becoming one of the leading resources in recruitment today. It is a fact that 67% of all job seekers go to the net. Due to a number of factors such as; a shrinking workforce, a definite skills shortage and reduced job loyalty. Traditional hiring methods are rapidly losing ground to more innovative solutions. The Internet offers benefits to candidates and employers in streamlining the process. Now, most employers will tell you that the Internet does not streamline anything, in fact the opposite is often true. This is where I and most of Career Experts agree, you should call in a specialist.

Many professional recruiting firms, including my own, have been developing Net based recruiting teams. These professional sourcing experts have learned to utilize the Internet to it's fullest. Finding hidden resources that would otherwise be overlooked. Filtering out the mass response "applicants". Usually this service is referred to as eRecruiting  or Internet Based Recruiting. It typically is a fraction of a standard recruiting fee and is always a better value than trying to do it yourself.


 

  How Secure is Your Job?
Ok, things seems a little different lately around the water cooler, in fact one thing is, the water cooler's missing. Is it just budget concerns and belt tightening due to the economy or is your company really facing hard times? Here is a simple checklist to give you a heads up.

Headhunter Calls - What's Ok?
You are sitting in your office having another reasonably miserable day.  From out of the blue a person calls sounding like your long lost best friend. Guess what? ...they may just be. Recruiter calls are a fact of life and most good employees can expect to be called. Top candidates may get flooded with calls.

Some employers take a negative view to talking with recruiters. However, most understand it is normal to expect it when you have good employees. You recruiter can help you in a number of areas and usually has openings available that aren't offered elsewhere. What is the best way to deal with one? Go Here >>

 
 

  Is Your Summer Vacation Just another commute? 

The classic American vacation is short. CBS News Sunday Morning Correspondent Martha Teichner reports.   "When it comes to time off among the industrialized nations, the United States is dead last," says Joe Robinson, editor of Escape, an adventure travel magazine. "We're in the basement."

"Europeans get, in general, four, five, and six weeks off. Australians, the same," he says. "We average about eight or nine days after the first year on the job."


 

 

Q. I have recently been promoted to a new position which requires me to assemble my own management team. I will have to find and hire many of these associates from outside. Would I be better to go to one of the large resume banks, place ads or what? Dean, NJ

A. Dean, good to hear from an employer. is is a changing climate in HR today. We are faced with an ever shrinking pool of talent. Today companies use a combination of techniques in order to find, or source talent. Advertising was the first way to find talent and the resume was the tool of choice. Today the Internet as a communication channel changes many interactions and makes it easy for corporations to maintain relationships with prospective candidates.
