Job market
The job market can be confusing, however, your future career will not take care of itself - you must get out and grab the opportunities.
In the job market (any market), the seller and buyer are brought together by mutual interest and the benefit they can be to each other. The buyer wants what the seller has to offer; the seller wants the best offer he can get for it. There may be some haggling, but in the end, if both sides are satisfied, a transaction takes place. In short, both sides want something; both have something to offer.
Recruitment is just such a market process. The employer is offering a job. He wants to attract the best possible candidate by making it as inviting as possible.
The candidates for their part each want to convince the employer that they are just right for the job, and that they are better than any of the other candidates.
As in all markets, there are two sides to the deal, and it takes salesmanship and negotiation to bring them together. Each side has its own weaknesses to guard against, its own aces up its sleeve.
You must also remember that in today's extremely competitive market, you must take the initiative when it comes to finding a new job and you must do this in a distinctive way so that you stand out from the crowd.
