The above news headline offers a moment for reflection for all concerned about the real picture of Canadian job market. Is there then, a job saturation? If yes, does the labor market spell the sectors? If not, how does one justify the following:
"Looming shortage of ICT workers: study"
'Unqualified' interpreters working in courts
CTV Toronto - New jobs created, but unemployment edges up
Nursing Shortage. What is it? How severe is it? How will it impact ...:
Hoping for a fulltime teaching job? Think again
Oversupply of education graduates fueling teaching job shortage in Ontario
Canadian surgeons face flat-lining job market
Who will heal the nursing crisis?
Changing standards for training schools have created a flood of dental hygienists
In another sense the paradox is multidimensional, there is resume flood, there is an endless preaching about trimming the resume, customizing, etc., etc., as in the following instances,
as depicted in this news story @ IT Business Edge: Companies Must Find Solution to Resume Overload.
there is a constant effort to trim the resume, as in these two news stories: LinkedIn’s top buzzwords list can help job hunters By Rafael Ruffolo, 14 Dec 2010 in ComputerWorld Canada; and
10 Tips for Integrating Social Media and LinkedIn in to Your Job Search in 2011, in Windmills Marketing.
