Job market talking points
The first two months of the 2006 have produced over 400,000 new jobs and a current unemployment rate of 4.8%. Job gains primarily occurred in construction, financial services and health care. The job market for 2006 looks very promising for job seekers.
Now is the time to encourage your clients to bring their "A" game to the job search process. Employers are getting very active in their recruiting efforts, making decisions more quickly to get job seekers on board. You can help your clients with reviews and improvements to their resumes as well as help with their presentation skills. As you fully appreciate, it’s the best-prepared job seeker who often gets the job, and not always the best qualified.
Vet job search success

Connecting with employers
Helping employers and job seekers is all about getting the specifications right. There are three basic questions for an employer:
- What skills and experience do you Need?
- What skills and experience do you Want? (usually more than the Needs stated)
- What would it take to meet or exceed your Expectations?
Meeting the Needs of the employer is not enough to get to a job offer. The candidate who understands the Wants and Expectations of the employer and connects his/her skills and training to those issues is better positioned for hiring decisions. Helping job seekers understand the Needs, Wants and Expectations of employers is an essential role of job counselors. Getting the specifications right is a key service for jobs seekers.
