CV 4 Jobs

An interesting recruitment campaign by the Dublin Airport Authority on the Irish Jobs Market web site. Also an interesting article on what happened when the jobs have been removed on Jobs Blog.

60 thousands people have seen the site in a week…. how many thousands have applied? Here are the visitor statistics on teh Jobs Marekt Blog.

If you had enough sending your CV to the recruiters via Job boards, and not really hearing much back from them (besides the auto responses) you might give a try the Social Media for Recruitment – Jobs Market site. How does it work? Just put your profile on, and it is visible online immediately. You can even write your own blog there, and present yourself, your career, your achievements, your interests.

When you publish your profile on the Social Network site as opposed to just another CV database in some job board, your Profile is free to all Employers and they can contact you directly without any burdens. You then choose who do you want to accept and embrace with. Recruitment Social Networks Jobs Market is the future of recruitment. You can publish your existing blog on it, the RSS, the Twitter,….

Worky.com is a new Irish Recruitment Social Networking site.

When you write a good CV for your next Job in Ireland, make sure you do not apply to it on the Jobs sites. Since according to Worky – Job sites don’t work.

Here you can find more about Worky.

What to do with a CV? Upload it to the databases. The employment statistics show us that far more candidates are getting hired by uploading the CV to the online databases than just applying for the jobs on the jobs sites and sending it to the employers. Uploading your CV to the online CV databases assures you will be found when the recruiters will need you (not when you need a job – and send the m the CV out of a blue!). Sending a speculative CV to an Employer creates work on their end. Storing it in the CV database makes your CV available when they will have a need for it. So be there – be found.

There are classic Irish Jobs Sites you can upload your CV to or if you are looking for a project Work – there is an Irish site Flexitimers.

Get your CV in the right CV databases to be found when the employers will need new staff member with your skills. Be found when the right time comes!

More and more people are looking for employment on Second Life and guess what – many are finding employment and making a living.

There are recruitment agencies on Second Life to help you find that job. I wonder are they any better than the agencies in the real world.

Does anyone actually know anyone working and making a living?

I did visit Second Life a few times but found it hard work. Thats the old man in me.

Is the real world that bad?
Are real jobs that bad?
Are real agencies that bad?

Lets face it poor qualifications and training can affect your job chances BUT don’t let this hold you back. There are many successful people with little qualifications.

Anyway if you want to improve your CV in this area why not check out what the Education providers who were at the recent FAS 2008 Fair have to offer. Please see a list of providers below.

Job Search Tip

As well as making sure the Irish recruitment agencies know about you, and have the fresh copy of your CV, there is also a number of the Irish Employers who do not use the recruitment agencies but hire directly. The majority of the employers in Ireland use the combination of all sources of applications for their positions. The internal referral is the method the most employers prefer, then the direct applications, and at then the recruitment agencies.

Therefore by targeting just recruitment agencies you are limiting yourself to only those recruiters who do utilise their services. Check your industry and see if the employers in your industry actually use recruitment agencies at all, or are they recruiting directly. If they are hiring themselves, sending your CV to the recruitment agencies will not get you a job you want. What you will need to do is to apply directly to those employers. Sending them your CV in the email format is the most convenient and effective for both you as a job hunter and for the employer.

Here is the list of the current companies hiring on Irish Jobs to help you with your Job Search:

Ever wondered where would be a great place to work in Ireland. I just read a post listing the top 50 companies to work for in Ireland. So if you are writing your CV why not send it to these companies.

Let’s face it most of you hate writing CV’s (That’s why I get so much work to write them for you). Well forget about writing a CV and make a videoCV. You all had aspirations to become Colin Farrell or Kate Winslet. No more practicing in front of the bathroom mirror – you now have the opportunity to put those skills to the test.

CVizz is a revolutionary new website that employers are using to recruit graduates (I guess this site will eventually evolve to cater for experienced jobseekers too). Why not register now to ensure that the top employers in Ireland have access to your profile.

Who said job hunting was not fun?

“Is your CV ready?”

A properly prepared CV will attract the recruiters instantly. You might be the BEST employee for any job, but without a IMPACT CV you may not get called for interview.

Invest in your future by investing some time in writing your CV. Get it right, and get it right the first time. You will not get a second chance to make a first impression.

Remember, an impact CV is the key to getting through the recruiters door!
