Lying on resumes??

Richard Garner, Education Editor for The Independent writes:

"One in three adults lies on their CV when applying for a job, according to research published today. The figure emerges from a survey of about 1,300 adults carried out by the the Chartered Institute of Educational Assessors (CIEA), which represents exam markers and assessors. The most common exaggeration is thought to be lying about degree classifications, for example turning a 2:1 into a first."

Small time Business OPERATOR by...Bernard B. Kamoroff, CPA

OK, now normally I would never recommend a book based on being your own boss. This guy is an amazing author an have an extremely witty way of putting things. I read his 200+ page book in less than 5 hours and could not put it down. I recommend this book even if you do not want to start your own business, but would like to know more about the "operations" of small business.

A++ in my book!

The Hidden Job Market Courtessy of the Employment Digest

Should you rely completely on advertising to look for jobs? Advertising can get expensive for employers if they continually had to post for openings. In large companies, the turnover rate can be high with retirement, relocation, illnesses, etc. With those kinds of vacancies companies could conceivably expect to run a continuous employment spot in the newspaper. This could take a big bite out of their budget.

To avoid this many recruiters will turn to their employees for possible transfers between positions. Many offer cash as an incentive for recommendations from their employees (this is where networking comes in handy). Word of mouth is often a good way for companies to get people interested. In short, they’re looking for other, cheaper ways to draw in potential employees. If you sit back and wait for something to show up in the newspaper, you would be missing out on some incredible opportunities. Set goals for yourself by continuously checking the Internet as well as checking local advertising.

The Internet is a huge resource for job listings. Due to the expense of taking out ads in newspapers, many companies have turned to the Internet for help in filling vacant job positions. Most companies have their own websites, and this is an excellent place to check for possible job openings. If you have certain companies or specific occupations in mind then seek out their websites. Make them your favorites so you can check them every single day. Send an electronic resume to all the places that you would like to work. If you have a specific talent or education that you wish to utilize in employment then seek out Internet groups where people gather for that specific purpose. Listening and interacting with others that have the same goals as yours can open up many opportunities. Check out organizations such as the local Chamber of Commerce to find possible opportunities from local companies.

There are many career websites that you can visit to find opportunities. Learning how to use the Internet effectively will give you access to a huge hidden job market and increase your odds in finding that perfect job you are looking for.

Many of the top jobs are not advertised and this makes it important to brush up on your networking skills. The bigger your network, the more chance you have of being told about a job or your next career move. these unadvertised jobs can often be the key to your success.
