IS CAREERBUILDER THE BEST APP FOR YOUR JOB SEARCH?

Careerbuilder's mobile app has become a growing favorite on the Android market as well as iTunes. We've seen the app in action personally as job fairs all over the country have been recommending it lately. I was a business meeting the other day about reconditioning our hiring process when again the app was brought up by our Human Resources manager. Curious about the app I downloaded it and took it for a spin. 

Is Too Many Jobs On The Resume Bad?

Many recruiters won't tell you this, but if you have too many jobs on a resume, they won't hire you. Why? Because they feel you're a disloyal job hopper, that's why. Those were all layoffs? Guess what? They don't care! So what can be done about it? Absolutely nothing. You might be lucky enough to catch an offer from a company that's doing a mass hiring, as waves like that are less likely to be too critical.

2013: CRAIGSLIST VS CAREERBUILDER VS MONSTER

 Our friends over at the Employment Insider conducted a detailed survey on the top three job sites and their performance in today's job market. They took a basic customer service resume, shot 10 replies to 10 different job postings, in 3 different regions, on all 3 sites, 3 times, in 3 days.

As interesting as their post was, we decided we could do one better. We took 100 random people from 100 different regions from across the united states, had them apply to 10 random job posting within their search criteria, and gave the sites 30 days to respond.

The ratings are calculated by percentage of genuine responses from the site along with user experience. 

Note: The applicants used in this study were WELL QUALIFIED for the positions they applied for within their individual search criteria.

TOP 10 THINGS EMPLOYERS LOOK FOR IN INTERVIEWS

Job interviews are like a game of chess. Most job seekers would love to know what the interviewer is thinking during the interview. We decided to give a simple and quick glimpse into what employers are really looking at when hiring. Would it be a surprise to you that some employers would take your lack of experience for a better looking resume? Or better looking shoes over your energy level?  

We took a draw off a poll on Monster.com to answer our question. We thought a playful survey would help them open up in a more honest way. This one didn't quite go one way as some answers ended up being things they look for in a negative way. Some of the most popular answers they gave us were unexpected to say the least. -
