The Lost Generation

We keep speaking and writing about " the lost generation", however what does this really mean.Lets think beyond the statistics and look at effective and meaningful ways to encourage and support this generation of jobseekers who ultimately need to find security and move their lives forward in a positive progression.
Now this could effecitvely mean the new school leaver, graduate or the"older generation".Everyone needs support direction and purpose in their quest for gainful and meaningful employment.
Lets firstly look at the 18-24 market. This encompasses a vast variety of young adults either having just left school or newly graduated.
So where to do they go from this point. The graduate believes that having attained a degree it will be their path to immediate employment.Wrong!What a personal let down having got themselves into financial debt to attain this degree and now unable to secure employment.
Very little emphasis is placed on the route to job seeking or what is required to secure that commercial position.
The word "experience" is too often used by business and recruiters- too much or too little-never or seldom the right amount.
So what do you do ....
Till next time!!

Enter the Job Market

So your are looking for a job or a new career, however you feel this is going to be a daunting experience.Maybe you have been in your job for sometime and have been subjected to redunancy or this is your first foray into the market as a newly qualified graduate.Whatever your personal circumstances, looking for a job or new career is in fact a job in itself.This in fact means that careful preparation is of utmost importance so that you maximise every opportunity.In the main you only have one shot at an advertised job which means there is far more to the process than just sending your CV.
Ok then , so what is needed to secure that interview or at least receive a positive response.THAT IS THE BIG QUESTION?
Planning your assault on the market needs careful planning,time management, goal setting and prioritizing your actions.
