The science of recruiting.
The number one complaint by jobseekers is the lack of communication when you apply to a job (that you qualify for) and never hear back from the employer. This could be due to many factors like a poor resume, numerous jobs or a poor internal screening process. No matter what the reason, most job seekers just want a chance to prove they are a good fit with a company and can do the job; many of you just never get the chance.
As a recent college grad, I cannot even fathom the idea of looking for jobs in the classifieds. With the invention of the internet and the job search engine, finding opportunities through these services are more streamlined and catered to each users’ individual needs. Sites, such as OrlandoJobs.com, provide an extensive database of job listings that can be accessed quickly and at any time.
If all companies and recruiters had one wish it would be to make all job seekers and job curious use only one exclusive job board when seeking employment. It used to be that way in the Sunday Newspaper classifieds before the internet. If your jobs were not in the Sunday paper, you would not get any candidates except for internal referrals. On top of that, if you had an opening on Monday, you would not be able to advertise that opening until Sunday. Not very effective.
2016 is looming right around the corner. Is it time for a new job? The Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS.gov) official unemployment rate is the also known as the U-3. Nationally, that rate is 5.0% (October 2015). This is pretty good. The US has added a lot of jobs in 2015 and seems like that is not slowing done anytime soon.
My checklist for first impressions is very simple and it should be. When interviewing, so many spend time trying to memorize canned answers to questions like, “tell me about your greatest weakness?” Sure you need to be prepared but make sure that you do a great job with your first impression. It will make the rest of the interview go much smoother.

Your medical resume is your first chance to make a great impression on a potential employer. This piece of paper can get you in the door for an interview or tossed out with the day's recycling. Think of your medical resume as a 30-second advertisement, letting a prospective employer know what qualifications you have, what is unique about you and what you can contribute.

We have all heard the saying "always the bride's maid, but never the bride. It is a sad, old cliché, yet for some candidates interviewing for a job, it may seem like the norm for them in the interviewing process as they always make it to the final interview, but are passed over for another candidate who has that "something extra."
According to Bersin & Associates, U.S. companies are spending and average of $3,500 per employee to just recruit them. While finding great talent is difficult, after over twenty years in the recruiting business, I think one of the main reasons this cost is so high is because employers are taking forever to make an offer to a candidate.
Bring back the recession! For recruiters and human resource departments, the recession made any resource you used to find talent the “best thing ever”. Sure, you didn’t have many openings and millions of great people were unemployed and looking for work. In addition, your internal referrals were at an all-time high. You were able to save money by cutting out many of your recruiting tools.

Copy and paste is still the preferred way to post these jobs that have job titles and descriptions most likely created years ago.
