    What’s really important

    Mary and family in their garden, Ashwell, Herts, UK, April 2011 The final InSight of the year has given me an excuse (not that I really need one) to veer off my normal subject matter path and write something more personal. In 2007 I wrote of my forthcoming (second) marriage (Risk, learn and forgive, InSight 13). In 2008, with the impact of the GFC looming in a very ugly way over

    1 third of All Job Hunters looking for a new job —- and?????????

    According to the mainstream media yesterday, it was announced that 1/3rd of all employees are now "open" to a new job opportunity. I wont do the marketers the favor of pointing people back to their site, but, I'd like to point out a fairly obvious point. If I call a candidate and I say; "Obviously if a job opportunity came along offering more opportunity and more money, you'd be "open" to that wouldn't you. vs Are you looking for another job? What is the outcome going to be? The basis of this rubbish was simply to convey that job seekers are now far more confident about the nature of the market than they ever were during the GFC. I say, what a load of rubbish ! 1/3 of job seekers are "ALWAYS" open to another job regardless of the state of the economy. This story was just another poor attempt at attempting to convey to the market that things are booming. In truth, they are, but you don't determine this based on the number of candidates that are "open". Instead, you focus on the number of employers that intend to hire. Don't wee on our back and tell us it's raining. Instead, use your "research" money to print real stories that have some level of credibility. Or perhaps it's just me ! :)
