About "The paradox of jobs and joblessness" topic:

Have you ever tried out to find out why there is high unemployment even when job openings may abound in an economy.

The answer lies in what economists call “search friction” and “optimal” choices. Friction means the gaps in information available to the job seeker about possible openings; simultaneously, companies seeking staff may not know enough about potential employees. So, let us discuss everything about joblessness and why the situation is like this..

employee needs contribute to the organisation with his skills
Business Management Consultant  |  Supported idea  "JOB KNOWLEDGE AND EXPERIENCE"  |  1 year ago
I’d say that knowledge, experience skills are highly important. Without proper knowledge, experience skills, a person can’t go far in their career and/ or they don’t add much value to the company. As Rosemary stated “exceptions are always there”...

2 Skills oriented job market plus Unrealistic high expectation of job seekers
Basil Cheriyamadathil  |  Added idea  "lack of mutual trust"  |  1 year ago
How many graduates passed out per year, can create opportunities ?. If they cant create an opportunity, how they will create one for the employer ?. If they can, then do they need to complain about being unemployed ?. Does business care about...
Business Management Consultant  |  Supported idea  "Skills oriented job market plus Unrealistic high expectation of job seekers"  |  1 year ago
There seems to be a little of both going on: hiring and firing. The economy isn’t doing as good as many people think, there’s a lot of fluctuation in the market. There might be many jobs available but many times some people aren’t qualified for...

India is a place where anything can happen, India even defies a Nobel prize winning model regarding jobs and joblessness all over world.... The 2010 Nobel prize in Economics is for research in an area which intuitively arouses the interest of a lot of people: how employees find jobs and how employers find employees, and how both could fail to do so despite the other being out there, so to speak. Yet, when one tries to correlate that study to understand the situation in India, one is struck by the complete lack of reliable data. At the core of Diamond, Mortensen and Pissarides' work is the relationship between unemployment levels, the quantum of jobs available and how this relationship shift...

Walk the Talk. Many fresher know how to wear the formals but don’t know what to talk or how to behave with others. In short it’s good to teach etiquettes they are must. But these etiquettes won’t help to change the behavior with the third person....

I Think choosing Admin as a career was a baddest turn in my career. In admin you dont have any regular openings in the market, it happens only when new company/branch/factory opens or someone lefts and for both chances are very less

Many of us use facebook. Job hhunting on facebook does not look much believable and we are forced to think that will it work? Still there are few things which can be done to atleast increase our possibilities. 1. Join right communities and interact with right poeple. 2. Search for apps which have job search options. 3. Potray yourself in the best possible way. 4. Mention your professional skills on your profile. 5. Keep an eye on adverts, there are many job openings in them   We all work hard for a better life and we always want better job than the one we have. So we should use all the possible means to make it happen.

Sony is yet again ready to layoff 10,000 employees. It is not clear if this will be from Japan or overseas. This makes us think that how unpredictable can working in big brands be. We normally think that we should go for a big brand instead of working for a small company but when incidents like this happen they tear away our dreams, make us rethink and take away our sleep. If a company is going to lay off so many people where would they go, what would they do and how will they move forward. We have no answer to these questions. According to Nikkei‘s sources, Sony might also request that its seven executive directors — including Stringer — return their yearly bonuses. Sony hasn’t officially confirmed the report, but Hirai is set to brief the company’s business plan on Thursday, March 12.

The changing work dynamics increasing pressure is making many employees to change their job. Many of them either change their profile, change companies, or pursue their passion....... One wrong reaction and you are most likely to severe relationships.But it comes as a pleasant surprise that things are changing for the better. Increasingly, the attitude of organisations towards the person who desires to leave is becoming amicable. How notice period issues can be better managed??? Here are some simple steps which can be followed to serve your notice period in a constructive smoother way.... a) Good reason: Separation requires a good reason, so first have a good reason to leave and stick by it. Counter offers might come your way but stick by your gun, decline politely. b) Complete your obligations: You should complete your obligations towards your current employer. Do your work with the same enthusiasm as before give your best. Don't give them the last chance to raise finger on...

HI The most stressful part of job interview is to get stuck in those questions which are generic in nature but nevertheless difficult to answer. Here is a few answers to those questions, that should help you. 01 Tell us about yourself? For a long time, I would go around talking about my place of birth, education and work experience etc etc. Then I  realised how silly it sounds. Interviewers want to know the candidates skillsets, strengths and achievements in the past and how these are related to the requirement of job. For example: “I am really passionate about my work. Whatever I do I do it with full of my dedication, determination and devotion. I am working in insurance sales for last two years and that has given me a lot confidence and taught me the importance of time management and goal setting. I have been consistently achieving my targets for the last 3 quarters. I also have organized and been part of various road shows and counseling activity for lead generation”. To read...
