"Powerlessness career" or views on the other hand barricades
Over the years, the report our government on unemployment low, while most of the people who do not connect with this problem with perfect understand that statistics official quite apart from the fact. Methodology calculation only take into account they are listed in employment agencies, and is defined as "ration of" the desire to spend time in the document will not be found all.
** Agree with the opinion experts, I believe that the unemployment hidden actually 3-4 times higher than the unemployment official. It seems the opportunity to participate in a contest for holding position in the large companies have fought, but practice very disappointing. **
Even in the condition of the reduction of mass and unemployment, a applicants rare try to really prepare and try to appear as "the candidate ideal". Though, with changes workload I don't often set to write a blog, I decided to share the observations about "laziness blatantly" from the most of the competitors modern.
In recent years, i've been on both sides fence, current position people looking for jobs in large companies more like a psychologist famous "learn syndrome powerlessness." There is a state of obsessive in which seems to external events of someone not dependent and they can not do anything to change it.
Both experienced specialists and "fresh blood", which after the end of the educational institution must face various difficulties, where the employer is almost always blamed. But is there just a problem in it? For several weeks I spent time in the "enemy nest," the concentration of "soulless" specialists (as many believe in futility)and recovered in memory of past events as he overcame the election itself. Little changed.
It's frightening to imagine, but people with a decent amount of experience are as frivolous as yesterday's graduates, hundreds of resumes thrown into baskets just because they can not get through them. Creating a resume, applicants to this day are infected with the principle of "vomit pile", reporting literally about everything. Forgive, Pictures with them, with errors, almost all of them focus on their previous job responsibilities, and not about what they do (or even better to do).
Anywhere, anywhere, the first suggestion to find a successful job is to find a "suitable resume" for a particular job. But no, in fact, the flow of clichés, without any effort at least somehow to adapt skills and experiences to the expectations of the employer. In the end, go to HeadHunter, LinkedIn, and others, steer in searching for your "potential competitor" summary and take it to service, do it better!
But with the development of intelligent search on popular sites to hire staff, it has long been important to go into the "filters" prepared by this or that company's personnel. The resume must be a mirror designed by you to search by keyword. Here, as they say, if you do, you have to do well, even if you do madness.
And now a lot of useless information is filled with a continuous stream: the ability to use e-mail, Word, language knowledge with dictionaries, regional cups for sporting achievements and so on. No, I understand if you need a foot messenger, the running cup is good, but you need an office worker! The internet generation is completing,in the resume we can find a good number of subscribers in social networks and blog views / visitors, but they also pretend to post not in any way related to social marketing.
I understand, adding some skills in the resume, the candidates try to fill in the blanks, but not forbidden to disguise the lack of relevant skills and social practice practices close to the employer. Today, literally one hour you can find out the maximum useful information about the company, and sometimes the employees, with whom in the future will be interviewed.
Such personal quality transfers on resumes as communicative, multitasking, leadership, etc., are striking in naivete, as during this case it is necessary to prove in practice. Alright if the candidate tries to get on with the explained requirements of the employer, but they continue to push banal "patterns from the network" boring ads.
Regardless of what has been said, and writing their official resume for misunderstanding, "career inadequacy" is in a new guise during the interview. I understand those who hate big companies for the questions of the series:
** Who do you want in a few years? Imagine how you would become a fruit / car / animal? **
Strengths and weaknesses ... I try to do everything to exclude the "initiation ceremony" of recruits who are re-trained on training, but sometimes even want to know, where is the personal skill that is praised from the resume gone?
Of the several hundred candidates of different ages and experiences, nearly a dozen people have learned something about the company and the tasks they have to accomplish. I can understand those who are disappointed, drop their hands and tired with many interviews, but how sad about getting a good offer in the labor market, people are so slow and not very initiative.
Simply trying to pay attention to the person, rather than virtue and past education, the interview still looks more like an interrogation with passion than the discussions of professionals. For superficial and learned questions from recruiters, applicants do not tend to challenge the "system absurdity" and show off their preparations, they do not even try to hide the truth: "it's too early to go home - the results are not so important".
It seems that candidates should be ready for open communication, and I often attract future colleagues (for additional opinions), as I have to work together on teams. However, the crippling fear of the aspirants again and again confirms the dominance of the learned learninglessness syndrome, which suppresses even the spark of healthy motivation and lively emotion.
Rather than conclude, I just want to add - the problem of the inability of many officer personnel and the absurdity of their demands, unfortunately, to happen. However, the main reason for "career inadequacy" is the total unpreparedness of the applicant in fairytale expectations about the principle of ** "where and how you want, if only they will pay." **
