Finding employment like playing the lotto?

Change something we have heard many times... Change is good maybe not the change that someone may pitch, but change in itself is realizing some process or way of life is unproductive, damaging, or plain as simple broken.

Some of the greatest minds that ever lived were advocates of change. Martin Luther King, Malcolm X, Ghandi, the list really goes on and on. The change I want to initiate is the change in how we employ people. A process that over the years has only changed in really one fashion that more of the process is done online, the personal approach is gone, and the systematic keywords well they are flawed with crawler programs and HR Manager's clueless as to even who you are or possibly worst why your even there.

When you apply for a position the employer would like to think they are interviewing you. That seems very rational as you are the only one in front of them. However unlikely, each time you interview for a position they are interviewing you, and every single person effected by this decision. You have a lot riding on this moment. Your home, rent, car, children's education, health plans, and your future. You deserve at least five minutes of their time, or at least a valid chance to be heard, and to sell yourself.

Employers how many hours, days, weeks, months, and how much money have you wasted on ongoing searches for the right candidate. If you have an opening for a position it has been determined that this position is a necessity to grow, profit, or fulfill a need of the organization. The current process is much like playing the lotto. 1000's of resumes cycle through a program and bet on one of those candidates to be the right one. How many great candidates, how many people could have take your company to the next level have you missed because they may not have had the right keywords.

History is chalked full of examples of people when given five minutes of their time shown the world their true potential. It's time for change, change comes in one week employmeinc.com. Both sides owe it to themselves to embrace and help us initiate this change. After all what really do you have to loose?
