How to Find Out Who's Hiring Right Now
Want to know who's hiring right now? Job boards and newspapers are not very reliable the are kind of hit and miss. Going to employment services or recruiters is putting your search in someone else's hands and that means you lose control. So what's the answer? The answer is to have good reliable information that is not hit or miss and being in control of what is going on. With that type of plan you can easily determine who's actually hiring vs. who's just advertising or putting out feelers. The question is How?
Problems with Job Boards
Job boards are a good source of leads for who may be hiring. The operative word is 'may'. At some point someone thought enough to pay for an ad at a job board and place that ad on line. The problem is you don't know the urgency or the timing or the ad. If the company is just 'shopping' for sales people or collecting resumes then there is no urgency to hire.
The second problem is that there are lots of job board that aggregate postings and re-post jobs. Once those jobs are posted at the source they can often be taken down. This sometimes is not the case for the replicated posts. These live out in cyberspace for longer periods of time. Sadly the original person who posted may have filled the position already by the time you find the ad. In this case there is no urgency whatsoever to post fill the position. This means that looking at job boards should only be a small part of your search.
Problems with Recruiters and Employment Agencies
In this case you have outsourced you job search. There are a number of benefits to using these services but they are not paid to find you a job. They are paid by companies to find people. If you are not a perfect fit in terms of both skill, work history and sometimes just being familiar with your personality and knowing the culture of the company, you may not even get considered. Sure that recruiter have some sense of who's hiring right now but it is limited to their specialty.
While this does not sound fair, it is probably best for all parties. If you get past a recruiter who has a good relationship with the hiring manager, they are giving their endorsement of you and your fit for the company. When that recruiter has the right relationship, it is a big help to you, it is kind of a halo effect. The problem for you is that that recruiter won't probably submit you to something you don't fit into even if you think you do. While they may be right, the problem is you have lost control over the opportunity. This means recruiters should also only be a small part of your search.
The solution?
The way to solve both of these problems of reliable information and control over your search is to network for yourself. If you are the one talking to companies and people in companies, they will tell you if they are really hiring or not. You know right then if you should spend time and effort on trying to get yourself in front of the right person to make a hiring decision.
The obvious question is how to do this. The answers are on the Internet in the form of professional networking sites like LinkedIn. There is training available on how to use these sites. If you want a bigger picture on the job search networking concept, you can go to free job search websites where they have training on how to network for a job along with tons of career resources. You can find books at the library and local meetings where speakers talk on the subject of networking. The information is out there to be found so whichever route you take, if you want have the most reliable information and to be in total control of your search, use job search networking to find out who's hiring right now!
Trained as an electrical engineer, Tom now applies the process and analysis skills to attracting and hiring top employees for his clients. During these tough times, many of the candidates who have worked with us in the past and been successfully placed are looking again. We have no way to place them but as a way of saying thanks and giving back we have put up the career center portal linked above as well as published a series of articles for job seekers to help them during these tough times.

Workplace Safety Slogans
Every organization has its safety issues and protecting employees, resources, the environment and property as well as maintaining their progress, is a prime task at hand that the organization has to execute. Safety slogans or quotes (also called safety mottos) come to the rescue as they are a clever way of prompting or alerting workers to maintain safety at work.
Safety slogans are easy to remember and interpret, and instantly attract one's attention. According to the relevancy, choose the slogans that suit your workplace and ensure that the message conveyed is clear, pertinent and most importantly, put forth in positive words. A clever safety slogan such as "Be Aware, Take Care" encourages employees to abide by the safety rules. Before you sit down to draft the safety slogans you want to put to use, have a look around your workplace so that you don't miss out on any unsafe zone.
How to Use Safety Slogans at Work
Slogans can be used in the form of sticky notes, instructions/bulleted boards, etc. Safety symbols are one of the effective ways of non-verbal communication used in many offices and institutes. Nowadays, these slogans are efficiently used along with safety symbols and images. The slogans you utilize should be catchy, decipherable, thought-provoking and needn't have to be a long one. It should incite a conversation, but hey! I don't intend to say that employees gather together for a fun conversation! The whole point is to convey a mentally stimulating message that says, in short; "stay safe".

Companies hiring this month
These companies are hiring in April
Much of the recent news on unemployment has been promising. The Bureau of Labor Statistics reported recently that the unemployment rate in 29 states fell during February, and that only eight states posted a rate increase. Thirteen states and the District of Columbia had no change. While the national jobless rate was unchanged from January at 8.3 percent, it was 0.7 percentage point lower than in February 2011.
Also encouraging is recently released research from the Federal Bank of New York, which states that the U.S. jobless rate could dip to as low as 6 percent by the first half of 2013. And while there is no crystal ball to predict exactly what is going to happen to the economy, things continue to move in the right direction.

How to Choose a New Career at 40
There are many people who are caught in an unpleasant job situation. Everyday, they drag themselves to work, only to return unsatisfied at the end of the day. If you have just begun your career, you may switch your job or pursue higher education or sign up for training in your area of interest. In short, you have multitudinous opportunities waiting for you to explore. However, same cannot be said about people who have spend a good twenty years in their career and are considering a job change in their late thirties or forties. However, career change in your 40s may not be as smooth as in your twenties. Here are a few tips on how to choose a new career at 40. But before that, it is worthwhile to consider what are the situations that might force you to take this crucial step.
Why to Choose a New Career at 40
When you entered your professional life, you might have given enough thought regarding why you want to make a career in your chosen profession only. You might have enjoyed your career for a few years. However, many a time, your interest just diminishes or the work environment becomes non-conducive for your growth. For some people the attractive job profile may become boring and repetitive after a few years, while many people decide to switch their jobs owing to increased household responsibilities. There may be some other reasons why one wants to switch their career. However, identifying the cause behind your dissatisfaction is very much important, so that you can direct your job search appropriately. There is no point in landing a similar job profile only to give it up a few days later.
How to Choose a New Career at 40
Now that you know why you need a job change in your 40s, the rest should be relatively easy. After working in your chosen profession for a considerable amount of time, you must have learned about your areas of interest and shortcomings. A good exercise before you go job hunting is to list your skills and expertise along with those jobs that you love doing. Also, list jobs that you dislike altogether. This will enable you to streamline your job search. If you are planning to choose a new career in the same field your skills and experience may come in handy. However, if you decide to take up a career in an entirely new field you might have to start from a scratch.
In that case, educate yourself regarding what are the skills and qualifications required for your new career. You may have to enroll for a course or complete a vocational training. You can search for a job in the desired field only after you acquire the requisite skills and qualifications. Although, this may take quite a few years, it will certainly make your career change at 40 a smooth affair. As you will have to live on little or no income during this period, make sure you have enough savings to cover your expenses during this time.
The next step is to scout classified pages of newspapers in order to find jobs that interest you. You can also use Internet for advanced job search in your 40s. You may also look for opportunities through the network of friends and family.
You might get discouraging advice from people around you when you decide to give up a secure job and take up something challenging. However, do not take their advice to heart as there are many people who take up an entirely new career in their forties and make a successful living out of it. If you trust your instincts, and are willing to train yourself for a new career, you should indeed go for it.
