These days, we are asked tough questions. We are living through difficult times.
You hear stories of people losing their job for the second time in the same year.
People who have applied to 500 jobs and gotten no responses or job interviews.
Businesses that have been posting jobs have no responses.
These are tough times.
What advice do you have to connect those looking for work with those who are looking for employees?
This is quite the challenge. For me, the point of difference comes down to a person’s personal journey. I know there are many books, blogs, vblogs, tv shows etc that stress the “professional” approach when submitting a job application, but I have always looked beyond that. I like the honesty or insights re an applicant. In the last five months, I have employed eight people on this basis eg I want to work near home, my children are of an age I can work again, I no longer need to be in the mining industry and so on.
