Companies Hiring Right Now

From Canada is correct. It is a tough market out there right now. Supply and Demand...how would you select your next candidate for a position when 600 have applied? I've been out of work for over a year...automotive. I live in the Metro Detroit area and competition is tough for ex-automotive workers. I have worked with consultants and had my resume professionally done. I have a MBA and don't mind admitting that I needed to get a resume out there that would get noticed. It has. At least I am getting contacts and interviews. My fellow co-workers are not. No one is trying to condemn, it's just the facts. Good luck to everyone out there looking for employment right now. There are a lot of web sites that can help with resumes. The key is using the right words. Again the best of luck to all.

To the woman who posted her resume: if that is your actual resume, you should really consider going to a friend or professional to write a decent resume; you have tons of spelling errors and it is just very bad layout. I'm sure there are career counselors that help with this, and I'm sure they would be good to go to for help finding a job anyway.

IBM may be hiring, but definitely NOT in the U.S.. I got laid off by them after working like a dog .......long nights and weekends. The problem of this recession is there is a redistribution of income on a global basis, basically from the U.S. to the developing countries. This makes me sick. No job in the U.S.. I am not just talking about manufacturing. Companies laid off the U.S. employees and hire cheap labors in Peru, China, India........Then these cheap labors come over with their families.

Good article...if only more jobseekers would find LINKUP, they might find some of those 'hidden' jobs people wonder about. Great article...keep 'em coming.
