Jobs

Which viruses, when and have they been on a global scale as this?

 

I understand that but some people don't seem to grasp this is something new and because something wasn't done previously, doesn't mean avoid doing it in future.

 

Back to jobs....
corona overload


My daughter mentioned Apparently cyber security ......huge demand...... jobs...... jobs

 

There are jobs out there thats for sure.
I think jobkeeper and seeker will be stopping a lot of people from applying for a new job at the moment.

 

Not sure about plenty Of jobs?? Employment is rising

I think you have a point about the jobseeker payment??

We are talking those getting paid more Money on these benefits, therefore taking advantage of this

 

They mucked up alright. Literally thousands of 1 shift a weekers now on $1500 a fortnight.
Do we think these guys are going to look for a new job
Well done Scomo...

 

Some business’ finding it difficult to fill vacant positions due to this stuff up.... oh dear

Hopefully fix this in next round of JS

 

I think hopefully more in next round of JK these are jobkeeper payments where 1 shift a weekers are getting $1500 a fortnight.
They should be at best on Jobseeker and made look for work in order to get it.

 

Your friend can’t apply for jobkeeper, only his employer can. Jobkeeper is a business support for his employer, not an entitlement for an employee. If his workplace is able to access jobkeeper, they would already have it. His hours being dropped to 50% doesn’t change whether his employer is eligible.

 

Cyber security, machine learning, even broader in IT in general (if attached to the right industry).

Anything medical, or defence related is going to do fine in the next decade. Pivot if you want a job, but requires dedication and maybe 12-24 months retraining.

I know a commercial pilot that got laid off a couple of months ago. In the last few weeks getting new tickets for a heap of things. Sure a bit of an ego deflation, but I'm sure they will adapt and find something soon. It's all in the attitude.

 

Some changes to jobseeker, also payment reduction

I have had 6 interviews in less than 4 weeks and I’ve never been to so many that say they want to hire me but they don’t have positions available and to “keep in contact”. SMH. I mean I’m not complaining I’m getting interviews at a time like this and there is clearly business uncertainty but why interview people if you don’t intend to hire?

Also, on a side note, I can’t reconcile the recent unemployment figures with what I’ve seen amongst my networks. Would be interesting to see stats on underutilization in the current climate.

 

With regards to stats? Understated ???

wish you all the best

My daughter had a second interview with same company, she said its very tough, so many people applying for same job

 

Yeah I just think it would be higher. Thanks I wanted a change of scenery from where I was working prior so it was a good push haha.

It is a really tough market. Fingers crossed for your daughter!

 

That must be so dispiriting and morally wrong on the part of the companies' involved to interview without having positions available in the foreseeable future. Good luck with the hunt.

 

Thank god - big changes needed - I can only hope they have figured out a way to get it out to only the businesses that actually need it.

 

Can I ask how you obtained these interviews? Did you apply for advertised positions or more cold calling/self registration from recruitment companies?

 

I’ve had 4 from advertised jobs (Seek, LinkedIn, Facebook posts), 1 from an expression of interest and 1 through word of mouth. Recruiters are contacting me daily about tax consulting/accounting roles but I am looking to career change into the legal profession so haven’t entertained any recruiter communications. I could probably have taken a role before now if I wasn’t being fussy and was happy to stay in accounting. I think jobs are very much industry specific right now.
