The job market is more competitive than ever for millions of workers around the world.(18)In America, the most important reason is the slow recovery in job growth because of the recession. But other reasons involve changes in the needs of the American and global economies. These days, many job seekers go online to connect with employers. Job candidates want to show they have a lot to offer. But in many cases, they simply apply for a job title and list their work experience.(19)Instead, they should describe the talents, abilities and contributions they could bring to the organization. That is the advice of Steve Langerud, director of professional opportunities at DePauw University in Indiana. He advises students on career planning and often talks about workplace issues in the media. He says social media sites are valuable when they show the abilities of job candidates and not just their job title and experience.(20)He suggests employers change their search methods. They should think harder about the skills they really need to help their organization reach its goals, because at the end of the city, it’s still about getting the right people in the right place at the right time and then keeping them.
