At www.capitaljobs.com.au we think the line-up of speakers bodes for an entertaining and informative day (all the speakers are trying to give us something a little bit different to challenge our thinking - such as Matt Sigelman's topic "“Looking for Love in All the Wrong Places”" or Elizabeth Gaunt's topic ""Digital Natives and The New Phase of Social Recruiting"". Just one thing to note from your post - it's on Thursday 8 September - not the 9th! Hi Phillip, thanks for the plug for RecruitTECH.

]]> Comment on Falling Through The Cracks: Perspective From The Unemployed by David http://destinationtalent.com.au/blog/2009/12/11/falling-through-the-cracks-perspective-from-the-unemployed/comment-page-1/#comment-6358 David Sat, 05 Feb 2011 05:19:02 +0000 http://www.destinationtalent.com.au/blog/2009/12/11/falling-through-the-cracks-perspective-from-the-unemployed/#comment-6358 Sorry I can not give a more positive responce but here is my story which I'm sure is similar to many hundreds of other accountants in Australia. I am a fully qualified CPA and have 10 years Australian experiance in industry. Three years ago I used to get calls from recruiters asking if I would consider a change of company. Two years ago during the GFC I lost my job but was very lucky to pick up a contract role a week later. That role finished a year ago. Since then I have worked 2 months as an accountant and only had two interviews. Whilst I only apply for roles I meet all the attributes sought I am surprised by the number of rejections (or should I say "never here anything again). I also get responces such as "the position has been withdrawn".This week I attended an interview where I would guess up to 10 people were being interviewed by the company. I was told all were available for an immediate start. What this tells me is that there are a very large number of accountants that are not working. Of course if you have no Australian experiance then you are even more dissadvantaged. At the moment I'm seriously considering a change of career. So much for the skills shortage and booming job market we keep hearing about.
