Bridging Gaps in Your Qualifications

There are two kinds of harmful gaps in a job search. They are a lack of experience and a lack of skills. Both seem like insurmountable barriers because you can’t gain experience without work and it takes time to acquire skills. And yet, there is a way to bridge the gaps so long as you are willing to take off your fuzzy slippers.

In a society that exults in its uber-connectedness, it’s odd that distance is the defining culture of today’s job market. Everything we do, from networking with others and communicating with recruiters to contacting those who might be our future coworkers, is done – not at arm’s length, but at the tips of our fingers – as we sit at home in our fuzzy slippers and peck away on our keyboards.

No matter how much we revel in our connections and friends and follows, however, the net effect of such distant interactions is shallow relationships. Those contacts don’t know us as a fellow human being but as a profile or page or handle on a screen. They aren’t privy to our character, our values, our personality (except our virtual persona) or the facets of our life which animate and transform us into a distinct person. No matter how many emails and InMails and messages we send out, they see us as a cipher – a nonentity.

So, how do they react? They treat us as strangers. They are cordial online, but cautious in the real world. And, if they’re a hiring manager, that means they follow the rules.

If an open job says a qualified candidate must have this level of experience or that kind of skill and you don’t, they won’t consider you for the position. You may have compensating attributes or a determination to succeed, but those aren’t qualities they can distinguish from a distance. They are virtually invisible, so cannot be factored into their evaluation.

Does that mean you’re out of luck if you don’t have the experience or skills required for your dream job? Absolutely not. It means that you have to learn how to bridge those gaps.

Stepping Out of Your Fuzzy Slippers

A recent survey of employers came to this conclusion: “The more direct knowledge the hiring manager has regarding the person being hired, the less the person’s skills, academics and experiences matter.” Put another way, the less distance there is in your relationship with a hiring manager, the closer you are to being seen as a qualified applicant.

Why is this so? Because proximity adds depth to shallow relationships. You are no longer seen as a cipher, but as a person, an individual with character, values and a real world personality. And, those qualities can be a bridge across any gaps in your resume.

How do you build such a bridge? By stepping out of your fuzzy slippers and into the messy, inconvenient and stress-inducing crucible of human interactions. In short, you have to stop being a stranger by being better known to your PALs.

Get dressed, get out of the house and participate in the real world meetings of your:
• Professional society and trade association;
• Alumni organization of your undergraduate and (if you have one) graduate alma mater; and
• Local civic (e.g., social service, self-help) or affinity (e.g., veteran, hobby) group.
They are the places where hiring managers hang out and therefore among the best ways to meet and get to know them.

Qualification gaps are not insurmountable barriers to job search success. To bridge the gaps, however, you’ll have to get out of your comfort zone and into the real world where hiring managers can get to know you and your qualities as a human being.

THE REAL VETERAN UNEMPLOYMENT PROBLEM

By Ted Daywalt

There have been many confusing articles in the press recently about whether the unemployment situation for Veterans is improving or getting worse. Much of the confusion stems from the press reports written by people who do not know how to interpret the Department of Labor (DOL) and Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) two unemployment reports.

According to the BLS, the total number of unemployed Veterans in February 2012 was 777,000. The total in February 2013 was 772,000, a decline of only 5,000 in a year. Of course, in January 2013 there were 844,000 unemployed Veterans. So in the short and the long term the Veteran unemployment rate is improving.

When looking at Veteran unemployment, it helps to identify which Veterans one is talking about. To make things easy, think in terms of three specific groups: transitioning Veterans (those leaving active duty), separated Veterans (been out for one or more years) and the National Guard & Reserve.

Younger Veterans have had a higher unemployment rate than other Veterans since 2007. Press reports attribute younger Veteran unemployment to not having skills since they were in the military, problems from the wars, lack of education, PTSD, lack of a prior civilian job, etc. While some of these myths may be true for a very small minority of young Veterans, they are not the real reasons for young Veteran unemployment today.

So let us dispel the myths.

First, anyone who has been in the military for a year or more has skills sought by civilian employers.

Second, the reality is the unemployment rate for Veterans as a class has always been lower than the national unemployment rate. This is always a shock to people because of the way Veterans are portrayed in the press. The fact that Veterans as a class have an overall unemployment rate that is always lower than the national unemployment rate proves beyond any doubt that Veterans have better success finding employment than non-Veterans!

Third, at VetJobs we see over 20,000 Veterans and their family members a day visiting the site looking for work. For the most part those who totally separate from the military are finding work, which is not to say there are not some who have problems in this recession, but most Veterans are finding work.

Fourth, where there is a Veteran unemployment problem is in the National Guard & Reserve. Most of the members of the National Guard are young. But the National Guard & Reserve have been called up so many times that employers do not want to hire them. A company cannot operate effectively with employees being taken away for 12 to 24 months at a time, multiple times.

Fifth, the National Guard is discriminated against more than the Reserve. When a member of the National Guard returns from deployment, should there be an emergency in the state, the governor calls up the National Guard, meaning the National Guard member is away from their civilian job even more. Employers will not tolerate this, which is why the USERRA (the law that protects members of the Guard & Reserve) complaints skyrocketed from 5,333 in 2006 to 34,612 in 2010, a 700 percent increase!

Sixth, the current call-up policy went into effect on January 11, 2007. The unemployment rate for the young Veterans in 2006 was 10.4 percent. By the end of 2007 it was 22.3 percent, a direct result of the call up policy. Employers were not going to keep an employee that cannot be counted on to show up for work. The policy makers at the Department of Defense (DOD) still do not understand this basic business principle.

Seventh, if it were not for the estimated 28 percent plus unemployment rate of the National Guard nationally, the overall unemployment rate for all veterans would be about 4.0 percent instead of 6.9 percent. Keep in mind that the National Guard & Reserve now make up nearly 52 percent of America’s fighting force.

Eighth, this situation will not get better until the current flawed call-up policy is fixed. Every time the active military has been reduced, after WWII, Korea, Vietnam, in the Clinton administration and now by the Obama administration, the use of the National Guard & Reserve has gone up. That is happening again. The more the National Guard & Reserve is used, the fewer employers will want to give them a job.

Conclusion: Today the employment situation is better for Veterans, but only if the Veteran is totally separated from the military. If you are in the National Guard, and to some extent in the Reserve, it is going to be very rough until the flawed call up policy is corrected.

Having said all the above, I want to emphasize that overwhelmingly employers support the military. They understand that a strong military is necessary to defend our free market economy. But employers cannot go broke supporting the military, which is exactly what DOD is doing to employers, especially small and mid-size companies.

This situation has got to change. We are making the members of the National Guard & Reserve third class citizens who are expected to fight for America, die or be wounded. Then when they return home from wars or deployments, the DOD call up policy makes it difficult for them to have a continuum of civilian employment. This is not right and must be changed!

Active Reading for Job Search Success

Experts have long urged job seekers to practice active listening. It’s a critical habit to develop because it helps you understand, interpret and respond effectively to the questions posed in an interview. However, since most pre-interview communications now occur in writing and those interactions are the key to getting an interview, it’s now also important to learn the technique of “active reading.”

Active listening involves paying attention to the person with whom you’re speaking. While the term recognizes the role of your ears, it’s actually a two-sense technique. You make sure you hear exactly what the other person is saying, but you form your interpretation of their statement with their tone of voice and what you see in their body language as well as their words.

Active reading is also a two-sense technique. In fact, William Zinsser, the author of On Writing Well and the acknowledged guru of nonfiction writing, says “People read with their ears, whether they know it or not.” They see the written words, but listen to the author’s voice.

Active reading recognizes that truth so you accurately comprehend what a recruiter is saying in an email or Inmail. It involves three basic techniques:
• Read deeply.
• Read out loud.
• Read inquisitively.
Let’s look at each of these steps in a bit more detail.

Read Deeply

Most of us are in a rush these days. If we’re in transition, we’re juggling applications and networking and meetings and research and dozens of other activities that all take time. In order to get everything done, we race through each of them.

Rapid reading, however, limits the time we give ourselves to understand what’s being said and that, of course, increases the odds of misunderstanding. It can cause you to answer a question incorrectly or reply in a way that diminishes your credibility. In either case, you undermine your positioning as a qualified candidate.

What’s the best way to slow yourself down? Read deeply. Force yourself to read each email or Inmail three times, taking two deep breaths between the first and second repetition and three deep breaths between the second and third. You’ll have to keep track of your breathing count of course, which will require that you concentrate on what you’re doing. And that concentration, together with the repetition of the message, will help ensure you pause long enough to “hear” what’s being said.

Read Out Loud

While reading deeply, also read out loud. Don’t whisper the words, but pronounce them in a normal speaking voice as if you’re engaged in a conversation with the recruiter. Yes, that means you probably shouldn’t check your email and Inmail at the local coffee house, but that too has its benefits. Doing your reading in private will help you avoid distractions and pay closer attention.

Equally as important, reading out loud enhances your understanding of a communication in at least two ways. First, you’re adding another sense to your interpretative arsenal. Words or phrases that might have been rushed through or gone unnoticed in silence can suddenly seem more emphatic and important when heard out loud.

And second, reading out loud takes more time. Simply pronouncing the words correctly and string them together in a coherent sentence forces you to slow down, and as with reading deeply, that will improve your prospects of accurately “hearing” a recruiter’s message.

Read Inquisitively

Recruiters aren’t cubicle Hemingways so it’s important to recognize that they may not communicate clearly or precisely. And, as Lynne Truss points out in her classic guide to grammar, Eats, Shoot & Leaves, even the simple omission of a comma can cause a sentence to be completely misunderstood.

So, it’s also important to read inquisitively. If you don’t understand what a recruiter is saying in a message, craft a reply which respectfully asks for clarification. You might, for example, say “Just to be sure I understand what you’re asking, do you want me to provide additional information on …?”

Reading inquisitively will tell the recruiter that you’re giving their message the attention it deserves and enable you to start a conversation with them. That back-and-forth dialogue will separate you from others who simply reply to the recruiter’s message and lay the foundation for building a stronger connection with them.

Studies have shown that half of all written communications on the Web are misunderstood, so careful reading is absolutely essential to success in today’s job market. Practice the three techniques of active reading, and you’ll ensure your communications enable recruiters to get an accurate read on who and your qualifications.

EMPLOYMENT SUMMARY

Overview

At VetJobs we continue to see the overall employment situation as marginally improving and the economy continues to remain basically stagnant, particularly as regards employment. Said another way, the American economy is expanding but at a stagnant decreasing rate.

In spite of the high unemployment of 10.534,000 in the United States VetJobs is hearing of critical labor shortages in the labor market, most notably in IT (web design/internet security/RDMS/certain programmers), healthcare and especially trade craft jobs.

The primary reason for the trade’s craft shortages are only 2.0% of American high schools have shop classes. The result is critical shortages in many areas around the country for plumbers, carpenters, scaffolders, electricians, maintenance technicians, bench technicians and welders. The results of the critical labor shortages are wages are rising rapidly. Today, a certified welder in the oil fields can earn up to $55.00 an hour, frequently with unlimited over time!

In terms of the overall unemployment crisis in the United States, I think Arianna Huffington summed things up quite well on April 17 when she wrote: “BREAKING! This just in: the economy is terrible and the country is suffering its worst jobs crisis since the Depression… developing… Of course, this isn’t actually breaking news, it is aching news — and before the tragic bombings in Boston, the most important story going on. But you wouldn’t have known that if you’d been listening to the media, where the long-term jobs disaster that’s been enveloping the country for five years goes virtually unmentioned. Only 88,000 new jobs were produced last month (March). And for the long-term unemployed, the situation is verging on hopeless. It’s hard to imagine our jobs disaster will get the attention — and the solutions — it deserves if our media doesn’t think it’s a story worth telling.”

Huffington’s comments ring very well. Our mainstream media during this administration is avoiding covering what is the most damaging aspect of our economy – that being exceptionally high unemployment for the American population. Washington needs to revisit their economic policies and move back to a true free market society or the United States will continue to go into debt, unemployment will get worse, and we risk becoming another Argentina post Peron.

BLS REPORT

Household Survey Data

Erica L. Groshen, Commissioner, Bureau of Labor Statistics, said this morning that nonfarm payroll employment rose by 165,000 in April, and the unemployment rate was little changed at 7.5%. Over the prior 12 months, job gains averaged 169,000 per month. In April, employment grew in professional and business services, food services and drinking places, retail trade, and health care.

At 7.5%, the unemployment rate is the lowest it’s been since the end of 2008. A year ago the unemployment rate was 8.1%.

When analyzing the numbers, one must remember that the country needs to generate at least 250,000 jobs a month in order to stand still and to absorb new employees. With employment growth being only 165,000, the economy is in fact moving backwards.

Steinberg points out that although the total number of jobs was up by 165,000 in April and more than most estimates, he thinks the bigger news in this month’s employment data is the revision to March’s number. March’s job data were revised upward to 138,000, after being initially reported as only up 88,000. And February’s number, which was initially reported as 236,000 growth, is now being pegged at an increase of 332,000. Steinberg cautions that data are subject to revision and one month’s set of numbers do not make a trend.

According to the survey of households, the unemployment rate at 7.5% changed little in April from the March rate of 7.6%.
Since January, however, the rate has declined by 0.4%. Similarly, the number of unemployed persons at 11.7 million was little changed over the month but has decreased by 673,000 since January. Among the unemployed in April, 37.4% have been jobless for 27 weeks or more.

The labor force participation rate held at 63.3% in April. The rate declined by 0.3% from January to March. Such a low labor force participation rate means many not only do not have jobs, but those on welfare increasing rapidly. This is borne out by the record new numbers of welfare and food stamp recipients.

The employment-population ratio was essentially unchanged in April at 58.6%. On net, the employment-population ratio has shown little movement in the past 12 months which is another bad sign. Among the employed, the number working part time for economic reasons rose by 278,000 to 7.9 million in April, after falling by 350,000 in March. These are those individuals would have preferred full-time employment but had their hours cut or were unable to find full-time work. The cutting of the hours of hourly workers by companies is increasing dramatically in response to the Affordable Care Act. Every week the news has reports of local and national companies restricting hourly workers to 28 hours, which means the workers cannot support their families, which again increases those on welfare.

In summary, nonfarm payroll employment increased by 165,000 in April, and the unemployment rate was little changed at 7.5%.

* * * * * * * * * * * * *
WHERE THE NEW JOBS WERE CREATED

For those people looking for work, the following paragraphs from BLS will give an idea of where new jobs were created. According to the BLS, there were job gains in professional and business services and in health care. According to the noted economist Bruce Steinberg, the state with the greatest growth rate was North Dakota, which was up 21.8%. Following North Dakota was Arizona with a growth rate of 16.5%. At the bottom of the list was Delaware with a decline of 5.3% in the first three quarters of 2012 from the first three quarters in 2011.

Steinberg notes that nationally, temporary help service jobs grew 7.2%.

Establishment Survey Data

Professional and business services added 73,000 jobs in April and added 587,000 jobs over the year. In April, employment rose in temporary help services (+31,000), professional and technical services (+23,000), and management of companies (+7,000).

Employment in food services and drinking places rose by 38,000 in April. Employment in this industry has increased by 320,000 over the year.

In April, retail trade employment increased by 29,000. General merchandise stores and health and personal care stores each continued to add jobs in April. Over the past year, retail trade has added 248,000 jobs.

Health care employment rose by 19,000 in April and by 288,000 over the past year. In April, employment increased by 14,000 in ambulatory health care services, which includes offices of physicians and home health care services.

Employment in construction changed little (-6,000) in April. Job gains in this industry averaged 27,000 per month from October through March. Manufacturing employment was unchanged in April. Employment in other major industries showed little change in April.

Average hourly earnings of all employees on private nonfarm payrolls rose by 4 cents in April. Over the past 12 months, average hourly earnings have risen by 45 cents, or 1.9%. From March 2012 to March 2013, the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U) increased by 1.5%.

The good news here is that while the economy remains relatively stagnant there are companies who are still hiring!

VETERAN UNEMPLOYMENT REPORT

General Summary

The BLS CPS report says there were 21,467,000 veterans alive in April, down from 21,492,000 in March, a loss of 25,000 veterans in March. There were 11,185,000 veterans in the workforce in March, up 71,000 from the 11,011,000 in February. Much of the increase in veterans returning to the market place for jobs can be attributed to older veterans who have run out of retirement savings or their retirement savings are not enough to meet their basic needs.

The CPS overall veteran unemployment rate for all veterans in April fell 0.9% to 6.2% from 7.1% in March. There were 693,000 unemployed veterans in April, down 91,000 from the 784,000 unemployed veterans in March. The unemployment trend for veterans is definitely going down as they continue to find jobs!

However, the largest single group of unemployed veterans is the National Guard, currently estimated at 26% or 100,000. If it were not for the high unemployment rate in the National Guard and Reserve, the unemployment rate for ALL veterans would be about 4.5% instead of 6.2%.

The fact that veterans as a class continue to have an overall unemployment rate that is continuously lower than the national unemployment rate reinforces veterans are still having better success finding employment than non-veterans, provided the veteran is not in the National Guard or Reserve!

Younger Veterans

An area where there has been a veteran unemployment issue over the last six years since the current call up policy was implemented on January 11, 2007 has been in the 18 to 24 year old group and the 25 to 29 year old group which make up a large part of the National Guard and Reserve (NG&R).

The unemployment rate for the 18 to 24 year old veteran in April fell to 17.9% (26,000). That is down from 32.9% (45,000) in March, a decrease of 19,000. This is very good news! There are 64,000 18 to 24 year old veterans not in the labor force who are probably in school or technical training programs.

The unemployment rate for the 25 to 29 year old veterans in April was 4.9% (27,000), down from the March rate of 8.8% (52,000). This is a decrease of 3.9% (25,000). The fact that the 18 to 24 and the 25 to 29 year old veterans unemployment rate continues to fall is fantastic news.

For comparison, the CPS overall unemployment rate for all 18 to 24 year olds (veterans and nonveterans) in April was 14.0% (2,648,000), down from the March rate of 14.8% (2,767,000). In aggregate, young veterans are outperforming their civilian counterparts in finding employment. Much of this can be attributed to the publicity and programs by the administration, veteran service organizations, the US Chamber of Commerce and others!

Again, the overall veteran unemployment rate of 6.2% continues to reflect that veterans as a group are having better success finding jobs than their civilian counterparts, which is not to say some are not having problems.

In spite of the good news, employers continue to shy away from hiring as a new employee an active member of the NG&R due to the constant call-ups which will only increase with the continued reductions of the active duty forces. Employers cannot run their companies when their human capital is taken away for 12 months or more. But if the veteran is totally separated from the military, they are in high demand.

Women Veterans

The unemployment rate for women veterans in April fell to 4.7% (66,000), down 3.3% from the March number of 8.0% (111,000). In comparison, the unemployment rate for all women (veteran and non-veteran) in April was 6.4% (4,613,000).

The unemployment rate for 18 to 24 year old women veterans in April was 3.7% (2,000). This is great news as the young female rate had been high.

In contrast, the unemployment rate for all 18 to 24 women (veteran and non-veteran) in April was 12.8% (1,167,000), up from the March rate of 12.7% (1,130,000).

Gulf War II Veterans

The unemployment rate for Gulf War II era veterans in April was 7.5% (170,000), down 1.7% (37,000) from the March rate of 9.2% (207,000).

Black Veterans

The unemployment rate for Black veterans in April fell to 6.0% (92,000) from the March rate of 6.9% (103,000). This is a decrease of 0.9% (11,000). This is more good news. In contrast, the unemployment rate for all Blacks in March was 12.0% (2,193,000). These numbers again lend credence to the benefits of having joined the military!

Asian Veterans

The unemployment rate for Asian veterans in April rose to 10.4% (23,000) from the March rate of 6.3% (13,000).

* * * * * * * * * * * * * *
CES versus CPS

A number of people have asked about the difference between the CES and the CPS unemployment reports. There has been a lot of confusion in the press regarding veteran unemployment rates because there are two unemployment reports generated by the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) and many press reports do not specify which unemployment rate they are using.

One is the Current Employment Statistics (CES), also referred to as the Current Employer Survey, which is a survey of mostly large companies and government agencies reports on hires and layoffs to determine how many jobs were added or lost each month. The CES does not have a good representation of small businesses which is where most new jobs are created.

The second report is the Current Population Survey (CPS), frequently referred to as the Household Survey. The CPS is a joint effort between the BLS and the Census Bureau. The CPS picks up hiring by companies of all sizes, new companies, farm workers and the self-employed who are not included in the CES. The CPS has been shown to be more reliable and does a better job of picking up the shift in hiring because it includes small business hiring which is where most new jobs are created.

For the most part, I use CPS data instead of CES data.
