[QUOTE="DanB, post: 1548346, member: 237"] Todays job market sucks no doubt about it. When I graduated I could have walked into just about any company and been offered a job with a decent wage. Now its a different ballgame. The hiring process for a private corporation resembles that of the application process to OCPD. Extremely competitive. Who has the best skills, best personality, best image for our company. How much do they want to get paid. How much can we pay the other applicant. Its all about marketing yourself to have the best possible chance of getting the job. Not to mention getting your name out there to as many places as you can. I currently have a steady job. However I'm looking for something different. In the past year I have submitted my resume to well over 100 open positions. I'd say companies but several companies have had multiple openings I have applied to. Getting past the gate keepers is the hard part. Getting past the receptionist or that online application process is a real bear. Todays jobs are more often secured through contacts in your personal network. not by submitting an application for hire to company x. [/QUOTE]
