The top political news headlines from Yahoo! News
President Obama is hopeful that jobs will be created with economic package. I have experienced some events searching for employment that I think should be shared. Chicago's Navy Pier, Salem Baptist Church and Operation Push sponsored job fairs in the last few days. I visited these seminars. There were many vendors who apparently said they were going to be there but did not show up. There were many vendors who did not accept resumes' but issued material to job seekers telling them to go websites. The State of Illinois issued their comprehensive CMS package requesting job seekers fill out the forms for employment. I believe the State of Illinois has a hiring freeze in place at this time. Why would a person who is seeking employment fill out an application for a job they will not receive? People seeking employment during this time in their life do not need employers to create more stress and depression in their lives. They need real opportunity to seek real jobs.
These job fairs can be more productive. The job fairs given at Chicago's Navy Pier, Salem Baptist Church and Operation Push could have been more productive if the advertising had listed jobs available, the employers accepting applications for future employment and online applications to be accessed online. These particular job fairs were held during a very cold time in Illinois. With the inclimate weather, job seekers need to be given a better avenue toward seeking employment. Can we do this a better way guys?
