3 Big Reasons Why People Miss Out On Jobs by mrinfo(m): 5:42pm On Nov 29, 2010
The most important reason why most people especially young graduates and school leavers find it difficult to get the kind of jobs they want is Lack of Experience. Most jobs that are worth something require at least 2 years work experience which most job seekers fresh from the university or college do not have. So the job seeker who wants to have a better chance at breaking through the barrier of job experience will have to find a way of convincing the employer that even though he/she lacks experience the job will be satisfactorily done.

People Want Jobs but Lack the Required Skills. If for instance you are seeking a job as an accountant in a firm you ought to have some basic modern knowledge in the accounting field such as Peachtree Accounting, Working with Microsoft Excel etc

The Third and Perhaps not the Least is Lack of Information on Where to Look for Job Openings.The truth is many people only read the papers for vacancies and sometimes visit job and career boards like this one here. There are more better ways to get hold of important job openings. Only the initiated know this. The rest read Tuesday Guardian and other papers that list job vacancies. Once a job is advertised on the newspapers and job boards you have lost control. You are struggling with maybe hundreds or thousands of others that are also interests. There is a better that only people with focus can follow.
