I thought So Many People Where Looking For Work

So I have had an add out for over a week now with only one response. That response was half a$$ and she then called back to ask if she could use me for her unemployment. My add is pretty open to just about anyone so its not like I'm limitting it too much. I called someone else looking for and employee and they are having the same problem. I had more calls coming in before I placed my add from people just looking for umemployment referals and now that I actual need someone they are no where to be found. I say its time to start kicking people off unemployment and making them go back to work.

I woulda like to have heard your response.

I dont agree with kicking people off, but we need to seriously look at the system.

Kind of vague on the subject. What is the job for? What are the qualifications? What part of the country do you live in?

Yeah, is this one of those commission only no benefit type jobs?

Was there as much bad grammar and spelling errors in your email as there is in your thread title and post here? That might have had something to do with getting no response..

We placed an ad at work for a salesperson and have had a good response

I posted an ad on craigslist last week and received 100 resumes by the end of the day.

It's a general warehouse job, Part time.

Firstdown, certainly you are not using your own anecdotal experience, rather than firm unemployment statistics, to make this argument.

I mean, terrorists have never attacked my house. Should I then conclude that there is no such thing as a terrorist?

It greatly depends on the job and where you're advertising it. When I had an entry level financial analyst job open back in the winter, I advertised it on tons of college boards and my inbox filled up because of resume submissions.

Putting a help wanted ad in the local paper, for example, is a horribly inefficient way to advertise for a job. Not saying that's what you did, but you have to consider how many qualified eyes your job ad is reaching.

Administrative assistants, insurance agents etc. should all hit sites like career builder, and most importantly, LinkedIn.com. Leverage your own personal networks. If you're not on LinkedIn, get on it pronto.
