September Job Seeker E-News: The Secret 'Sauce' To Any Job Search

	SEPTEMBER 2013 EDITION
	Article: Don't Go to School? Article Written By: Jowita Bydlowska I have one useless undergraduate degree. Useless but it was very expensive. When I finished school I realized I couldn’t afford to do my master’s and without it, my degree was worth little more than the paper (diploma) that announced it. Scholarships were not an option (long story) and another loan would probably have rendered me homeless. In retrospect, I’m glad I didn’t try to pursue that master’s degree — I know people who have done exactly that and never worked a day in their field because: no jobs. As for me and my undergrad, I finished school and embarked on a desperate search for work that would demand a degree in psychology. The only thing I was able to find was a volunteer position at a distress centre — very rewarding, but it didn’t pay the bills.   READ MORE TORONTOJOBS.CA • My Account • Employment Agencies • Newsletter Archives • Search Jobs • Career Resource Centre • Job Seeker FAQ • Salary Wizard CONNECT WITH US

Article: The Secret 'Sauce' To Any Job Search   Article Written By: Dawn Rasmussen Go out and do a Google search on how to conduct job searches, and you’ll come up with literally a billion different articles and pieces of advice… with a lot of the ideas out there contradicting each other. One person says, “Do it this way,” and then the next person has a different take on what you need to do. Is it any wonder job seekers are so darned frustrated? It’s sort of like the dog running around in circles chasing its tail, isn’t it? Round and round and round, and it seems like no matter what, there you are back at square one again after yet another application-interview-rejection cycle. But the truth is the real secret “sauce” to a successful job search usually is so close to us it is like we literally can’t see our hand in front of our face. It boils down to some simple, solid strategies: READ MORE.

 

employment industry updates   Construction is providing the foundation for Canadian job growth What’s been driving Canada’s job growth this year, and where will hiring happen in the coming months? The answer to both lies in one industry: construction. Employment in the sector rose by 17,700 last month, Statistics Canada figures showed Friday. More than 110,000 jobs have been added over the past year, a gain of 9.1 per cent – by far the largest of any industry. READ MORE Ontario Economy's Challenges Are Just Beginning Two years after graduating from college with an accounting degree, Amanda Coombes expected to be working full-time in her field. Instead, she's living with her mom and working at McDonald's. These days, in hard-hit Ontario, a job is a job. "It's hard for us," Coombes, 23, said of the challenges she and her fellow graduates face in their search for work in their chosen field. Older applicants, some laid off after 25 years in the business, offer life and work experience that make them formidable rivals. READ MORE

HR Industry Updates   Women face internal identity conflicts in the workplace: Study Are you an ambitious professional or a nurturing caregiver? For women in the workplace, there can be a significant identity conflict between the two roles, according to a new study. The study, entitled How Competitive are Female Professionals? A Tale of Identity Conflict, was done in partnership with two Canadian universities. The joint study out of Toronto’s Ryerson University, the University of Guelph in Ontario and the University of Canterbury in New Zealand found women can experience tension between their professional and “family” identities and, as a result, may compete less with their coworkers. READ MORE HR certification leads to higher income, more promotions Canadian HR managers holding a Certified Human Resources Professional (CHRP) designation typically have higher income and receive more promotions than their peers who don’t have the certification, a new report reveals. The annual salaries of HR managers who are CHRPs are 13% higher than those of their non-certified colleagues, according to a report called Fuel for HR Careers, conducted by the Human Resources Professionals Association. In industries such as utilities, finance, mining, quarrying and extraction of oil and gas, the annual pay was more than 50% higher with a CHRP. READ MORE

 

Article: How to Become a 'Best Place to Work'   Article Written By: Jessica Miller-Merrell If you're looking to become a ‘Best Place to Work,’ you've got some tough competition. Most companies will find it difficult to compete with Google's seven-acre sports complex, complete with horseshoe pits and roller hockey rink or The Boston Consulting Group's optional six-month delayed start for new consultants who would like to have $10,000 and time to do some non-profit work. Even still, your business can achieve the prestigious status by making a splash with some changes that are proportional to your business. We can't all be Google, but we can all be great. Involve Management and Executives One of the trickiest things in any workplace is making sure your management and executive team is approachable. There is often a great divide between management and staff, but the best companies are finding ways to bridge this gap. Great managers know it's all about being real, transparent and having a genuine interest in your greatest asset: employees. NetApp, a data storage company, gets it. Their Vice Chairman asks that managers let him know when they have an employee who is caught doing "something right." He calls 10 to 20 employees every day to thank them. Similarly, Burns and McDonald, an engineering consulting firm, celebrates the company's anniversary each year by having management and executives serve chili to every employee. READ MORE
