Time for Change
As the industry continues to suffer a skills shortage especially amongst the young a report in the Times offers an insight on how the gap can be filled.
More and more people are unhappy in the current work. Research suggest that 72% of British employees are unhappy with their work, a staggering 19% of which are so unhappy that they are prepared to sabotage their workplace.
This has lead to an increase in the number of people who have changed careers at a relative late stage of their working life.
With the distinct lack of skills coming into the industry, recruiters are looking to older candidates in fill the gap. Is it best for a business to employ a young person to who shows potential or look to an older candidate who has good work experience and the right skills and more importantly aptitude?
The overlooking of the older candidate is a soon becoming a thing of the past..

I learned something important when I went out into the job market. I discovered that you can interview the company who is trying to recruit you as much as they interview you. Without doing that, you just end up in a company you can't stand working for, like I did for nearly ten years. Anyway, I found this article about how to do that and what to look for at www.bestcompaniesguide.co.uk/interview_questions.aspx. There's even a cool podcast there if you don't feel like reading.
