Where did all the jobs go? Where did all the good candidates go?

I was walking around the streets of Boston this week and saw this sight:



It actually made me laugh that people would turn to a newspaper dispenser to look for their next career.  What's even funnier (or maybe scary?) is that candidates believe companies look for candidates in a similar manner.

They think that companies go to their file cabinet, pull out a list of resumes, and start going through them.  Some more technically inclined may think they do the same, only digitally.  Download some resumes, look through hundreds, and make a decision from there.

The reality is companies don't have the time to do that.  Instead, they would like to view the information about a candidate in a professional manner, dynamically, and using smart search tools.

This is why it's so important to have a great career management profile.  Companies use this info to quickly find you and evaluate you deeper than a paper (or word doc) resume.

So instead of focusing on finding jobs in newspaper dispensers; manage and share your own career.  You can then use CareerScribe to share your profile and tell your story.
