How can you manage redundancy and the current job market?

Smart Company cite today that job advertisements in Australia fell by 8.5% in March as unemployment rises to a four and a half year high of 5.5%

With these statistics being published daily, more and more employees are feeling increasingly uneasy about their job security.

So if you have been made redundant what can you do? How can you ensure that your job applications will be selected or even read? Recruiters and employers are now receiving a high number of applications for each position they advertise (in some cases over 100). In order to get through such volume, very tough "culling" activities are common.

With this in mind it is now more essential than ever to ensure that your resume and job applications are appealing to the recruiter. You will have approximately 3-5 seconds to grab the recruiters attention. What are you doing to grab their attention? How are you demonstrating that you are the BEST person for the job?

Read through Overcoming Resume Roadblocks to increase your job application to interview conversion rate.
