Want a Better Job? Play Hard To Get

Ever wonder why there has been a sudden proliferation of head hunters and recruiting agencies? Today's job search is a far cry from only scanning the classifieds of your daily paper. Job seekers now have to stay on top of their game and deal with a multitude of recruiting processes to be eligible for employment at most top companies. Along with the daily classifieds there are local employment agencies, specialized recruiting firms, job fairs, online job boards, internal and external networking and the dressed-to-impress head hunters searching for these companies. No wonder most people don't seriously consider job shopping until they're unemployed.

This is actually a popular recruiting 'secret.' Generally, a job seeker's psychology is categorized as either active or passive.

Active job seekers are usually unemployed or unhappy with their current position and are thus more inclined to rigorously pursue leads and stay connected to all the listed sources for job openings.

Passive job seekers are a stark contrast: They could be employed, but in broad terms, they are job seekers who feel no compelling reason to invest their time and energy into looking for new opportunities. Here's the most interesting part - since most active job seekers have a short shelf life (meaning they are more likely to settle for the first available opportunity) companies pay out the big bucks to recruiting agencies to follow passive job seekers.

This is especially true for positions requiring unique skills and qualifications. So, if you're currently employed and feel you have no reason to go through the trouble of job hunting, you may actually fit into this highly coveted category.

It's more than playing hard to get, though. Even as a passive job seeker you need to get your name around. Most people occasionally browse through job boards to see what's on the menu. Some are personally approached by professional recruiters. In either case, any potential job lead can only materialize if the job seeker's information is available to whet the hiring personnel's appetite. So how can you reap the benefits of being a passive job seeker?

The answer is simple: e-Socialize. Using a customized profile on Jobs In Dubai, you can passively or actively showcase your talents and interests to companies who are looking for your kind of talent. Jobs In Dubai works for you while you're working for yourself.

Job In Dubai

As Dubai Grows Vertically So Does Consumer Confidence.
October 18, 2008

If this recent global lending crisis has proven anything throughout the chaos, it's that markets worldwide have never been as integrated and interdependent as they are now. When leaders of the most powerful countries are under constant duress to issue assuring statements of caution, and pledges to put tax payers' money to good use under growing deficits, it's obvious that this ominous atmosphere has everyone's guard up. Governments in the United States and the European Union are making daily decisions on which faltering companies should be saved and which should be left to go under. So, if it has come to a matter of staying afloat on emergency loans or sinking, does it make sense to drive against the economic tide by showcasing multibillion-dollar real estate projects?
Well, Dubai did exactly that recently during its seventh annual Cityscape exhibition. Involving over a thousand exhibitors from around the world, Cityscape 2008 opened on a particularly bad day for markets. News about the recession, sharp falls on available credit and a worldwide warning of market corrections left the stocks plunging. But in the grand halls of Dubai's International Exhibition Centre, there was a flurry of regional and international investors, developers, architects and visitors left in awe. With mock displays towering up to three stories, like Nakheel's $38 billion tower - planned to be the tallest building in the world standing over a kilometer high - Cityscape's message seemed to be the exact opposite of the fear and reluctance apparent everywhere else. The mind-boggling designs on display would all cost an enormous amount. Then why would the emirate, which is slotted for a property prices correction of 10-20 per cent, sponsor such costly projects?

The answer is the only word with the potential to avert a global depression, and that word is 'confidence.' With US Treasury secretary Henry Paulson making it an economic imperative, 'restoring confidence' is really the only way out. So, it's interesting to note that long before politicians and economists were able to articulate a solution, Dubai remained confident in its commitment to hosting this exciting event. Cityscape is the largest business-to-business real estate exhibition in the world. It features residential, commercial, leisure, retail and industrial projects backed by comprehensive teams of visionaries, builders and investors. It also attracts an international celebrity crowd, featuring big names such as Michael Douglas, Catherine Zeta Jones and even Sharukh Khan. It seems that Dubai is not only going against the tide of the real estate slump, but it's doing it in style and packing a big punch at the same time.

With plans to build a new Sports City and superstructures like the Dubai Pearl, the emirate has consistently proven another point clear, and that is its expanding job market. Jobs In Dubai has daily postings for positions in architecture, engineering, hospitality, construction, sales and virtually anything else you can imagine. If you want to be part of the movement challenging this recent trend of market fear, join the portal and make your mark in Dubai.

What Every Job Seeker Needs to Know

By Stephen Van Vreede

Resume writing is not a standardized industry. Although some states are considering legislation to require licensing, so far, the industry has been open to operate without government regulation.

THAT IS GREAT NEWS!

And not just for the resume writer, but for the job seeker as well.

Why, you might ask? Well, it means that the field is wide open to choose from, that it is currently being standardized by professional associations run by none-other-than résumé professionals (and not by government bureaucrats), and that prices are set based on market demand and not on government restrictions.

If you think resumes are expensive now, just wait until the government starts playing around with the industry! Not to mention the fact that the number of writers out there will dwindle down to where job seekers primarily only have large-scale firms to choose from.

Of course, the lack of regulation also means that job seekers can get swindled if they aren't careful in picking out their writer. But armed with the info from the Real Skinny on Professionally Written Resumes guide, and some basic commonsense, seekers should have no problem finding a reputable firm.

This guide is broken into two sections: (1) for those that are either still in the searching stage, just trying to find a service to work with, and (2) for those that have already purchased a service and aren't feeling too sure about the product they received. Our Common Resume Misnomers section is meant to help sort through the vast amount of misinformation and confusion that is out there, and provide job seekers with a solid understanding of how they should be weighing their resume.

So who am I anyway? Why do I think my advice is so valuable?

My name is Stephen Van Vreede. My company is called No Stone Unturned, and I have been in the career consulting business since 2002 with 8 years of hiring experience prior to that. You can check out my website at http://www.nostoneunturnedllc.com

The short story is that I have a B.S. degree in Business Administration & Finance from the University of Maryland and an MBA in Marketing from Villanova University. I am a certified professional résumé writer (CPRW) and a member of the Professional Association of Résumé Writers and Career Coaches (PARW/CC). As I mentioned, I paid my dues in the corporate world eventually running a large-scale call center for a major truck rental company, and I have spent the past 6 years with No Stone Unturned, assisting job seekers in achieving their goals.

I know that my products will work for you because they are based on commonsense principles leveraged with good, solid expertise and knowledge of the job search process. After working with countless job seekers, I have become more and more convinced that most of them do not properly prepare for a job search and rely way too much on online sites and trendy articles to tell them what to do. Thus, they waste a lot of time, money, and energy.
