This is an unusual employment agency. An unemployed person may visit it and immediately, without paying a cent, find out whether somebody needs his services. This employment agency is also open to those who have already achieved much: qualified engineers, physicians, scientists, bankers, and members of other prestigious professions who are well off and desire only one thing – a career. It is true that professional and creative growth is related not only to material values but also to moral satisfaction. Let’s try to imagine the following situation: in line at an employment agency a famous fashion designer wearing a Versace suit is waiting next to a needy person and asks the clerk if she has something for him. A situation like this seems impossible. Such a person would never go to an employment agency to look for career advancement. One of the main ideas of the electronic employment agency is to help such people. Many educated creative specialists during an interview do not get a chance to tell the employer about all their qualifications. The electronic employment agency helps people looking for a job avoid direct contact with an employer, because in the initial stage the client deals only with a computer. Clients are able to submit any data that they want: autobiographical facts, education, employment record, etc.; they can also submit their photos. UPON SEEING THE CLIENT’S PHOTO THE EMPLOYER CAN GET A FIRST IMPRESSION OF HIS FUTURE EMPLOYEE: The electronic employment agency is equipped with a special camera-based video system that gives pictures of “live” objects; if necessary, the personnel staff can make a photo of a job applicant using a unique HP or MAX digital camera. It is enough to press a button, and the photo is ready! The client can even leave a digital photo of his family at the electronic employment agency. KEY WORDS, ABBREVIATIONS, AND COMBINATIONS OF SEVERAL WORDS ARE USED TO PERFORM A CONTEXT SEARCH: the client or the employer may instantly find any offer that interests him or her. For example, if a specialist with knowledge of English is needed, it is enough to strike a simple key combination and the list of all English-speaking clients will appear on the screen. Or imagine that someone needs an expert on the problems of African countries. The abbreviation “Afr” will help find a list of such candidates. The use of such key words makes the search easier. THE CLIENT WANTS TO FIND A JOB IN A SPECIFIC CITY? NO PROBLEM: just enter the word, and on the screen you will see all offers related to the desired location. The client may also indicate his preferred city when submitting his application. THE CLIENT MAY FEEL FREE TO INDICATE HIS SALARY REQUIREMENTS. The employer, upon seeing the salary that the potential worker is looking for, will weigh the specialist’s wishes and qualifications against what he can afford to pay and make his decision. THE EMPLOYER MAY VIEW LISTS OF CANDIDATES BY PROFESSION, choose the most suitable ones, and look over their applications. NOBODY CAN CHANGE THE DATA ENTERED IN THE CLIENT’S APPLICATION. Only the client can do himself this himself because he, upon filling out the application form, receives from the operator a unique access code, and only he can make changes to his application or erase it from the database of the employment agency. Without an access code anyone could enter into another person’s application form and enter compromising data. The electronic employment agency helps two categories of people – those who are looking for jobs and those who are offering jobs. Thanks to optimization it is possible to solve problems related to the search for not only a better job but also a personal career. The employment agency at Penki Kontinentai performs one more unusual service, which will be very useful to sociologists. The program presents tables and diagrams, which show the demand for different professions and employers’ offers. In this way it is possible to imagine the general picture – which professions are the most popular and which are most sought after. Research has shown that at the present time the greatest demand is for highly qualified engineers and information technology specialists. The greatest number of applications is received from marketing specialists, business administrators, designers, programmers, auditors, and accountants. Most of them already have jobs but are looking for better positions. People of all professions, including manual laborers, can apply to the electronic employment agency. There is one more impressive feature about the electronic employment agency: it is accessible to clients from all countries provided they know the electronic address. Basically it would be possible to connect with databases from CIS and Western countries. The clients of this unique employment agency will have the whole world before them. There are plans to install labor exchange information kiosks in the post office and the railway station. For the time being it is possible to use this service for free at our company office, at A.Stulginskio St. 5. You do not need to know how to work with a computer. Just tell your wishes to the operator, and he will enter them into the computer or find the required information. Those who have a computer at home or are able to access the Internet at work can browse the employment agency by themselves. Its address is http://www.5ci.net/jobforum . |
