19 Yahoo Groups For Israeli Job Hunting Part 2

19 Yahoo Groups For Israeli Job Hunting â€" Part 2 3 More Yahoo Groups to join for your job search in Israel. In part 1 of this article I explained why Yahoo Groups are more relevant than Google Groups and I gave the first 5 Groups to join. Part 2 completes that list. How To Read This Guide Yahoo Groups require a Yahoo email account to login. If you don't have one, sign up here. (Jobs-Only) â€" this tag is meant to separate the employment-focused groups from the others where jobs can be found but aren't the main purpose of the group. (Restricted) â€" this tag indicates that when you join a group, you will need to send a request to its moderator. It's rare that moderators don't respond within one business day. (Moderated) â€" this tag indicates that if you ever post anything to the group, your message will only appear after a moderator has approved it. More Groups for Your Israeli Job Search Presented in descending order by February 2007 membership numbers: (Restricted) (Moderated) Techshoret â€" The Forum for the Israeli Technical Communicator. If you're a technical writer or want to pursue that profession in Israel, this active group of over 1600 members is for you. HebrewTranslating â€" regardless of its name, this group of almost 1500 members is for the Jewish-language (Hebrew, Yiddish, Aramaic, etc.) translator. While covering all facets of that vocation, there are occasional messages about job leads. (Restricted) (Moderated) J-DESK â€" Israeli JUG (Java Users' Group). This group is for Israeli Java professionals, and job opportunities will come up. If this is your field, you will want to join this group of over 1400 members. (Jobs-Only) JobsInIsrael â€" This group is sponsored by three different companies and if you're unaware, it readily becomes apparent after being a member for only a week. That said, it does have almost 1200 members (probably because the name was easy to search for) and people do post that they are hiring or that they are seeking, so I wouldn't write it off unless you're concerned about the three sponsors spamming you. (Jobs-Only) Israel-Job-Opps â€" Similar to JobsInIsrael. Officially it has no sponsors, but you will still see ads from at least one of JobsInIsrael‘s sponsors. They currently have over 800 members. (Restricted) (Moderated) kfarsaba â€" a general-purpose group for Kfar Saba residents in the model of the raananalist. Currently at just over 800 members, I'd follow it if you do or would like to live/work in that area. (Restricted) (Moderated) CIWI â€" Connecting Independent Writers in Israel. This young group has already amassed over 550 members in less than a year and is very active covering all topics related to every kind of writing profession in Israel (“Journalists, marketing writers, development writers, copywriters, grant writers, and the like”) including job opportunities and ‘freelancegigs'. Janglo1 â€" similar to its older sister but with less restrictions, although spam and ‘inappropriate' messages are still filtered out. Although four years old, it only has a fraction of Janglo‘s members. However, at almost 500 it's clearly filling a niche. Although I can't prove it, I'm willing to bet that most of its members are also on Janglo so I wouldn't expect too much by also posting your work request here. I would still recommend doing it. unesil â€" UNESIL-Union of Native English Speakers. A general purpose group with almost 400 members, rarely a week goes by without at least one job posting but mostly for work-from-home scheme-sounding ads (many exclamation points!!!!). Basically it's JobsInIsrael with moving sales. I don't think it offers anything appealing that the above groups don't already have but 400 members is still significant. (Jobs-Only) (Restricted) workingmomsinIsrael â€" this group is aimed at â€" you guessed it â€" working mothers in Israel. More specifically, it has job listings aimed at women who want to work from home, work part-time or work flex-time. If you are such a woman, the group already has just over 300 members although it hasn't been too active for the past 6 months, averaging only about 5 posts a month. I guess everyone's already been hired by Matrix ?? (Jobs-Only) Parnassa â€" Jewish employment opportunities. This group of 300 members averaged one measly post per month in 2006. The only reason I mention it is because when someone does post, it's clearly a real person with a real need and not just some Viagra dealer or Canadian pharmacy. Since it won't explode your inbox or cost anything to post your job want-ad, I think you should join. (Jobs-Only) (Restricted) (Moderated) mikesclub â€" Mike's Networking Club. Mike Lugassy, the club's founder, calls it “a group I started to help friends network with one another, mainly for the purpose of matching friends that have positions they are trying to fill with friends that are looking for jobs.” There are a number of conditions to being a member so this club isn't for everyone. Also, by far most of the jobs are US-based but it's not a posting criteria and other countries are represented. Mikesclub has over 150 members. (Restricted) (Moderated) web-pro-il â€" this small group of just over 100 members “is a peer forum for people who do anything that has to do with the web”. Most of the posts are job- or income-related so you won't be wasting your time by joining. However it's not very active but I appreciate that its founder(s?) made an effort to organize such a community in Israel, being a web person myself. (Jobs-Only) (Restricted) harvard_israel_job_network. From the home page â€" “The Harvard Israel Job Network wishes to bridge the gap between older, more established Harvard alumni in Israel and recent graduates who are seeking employment.” Not being a Harvard alum, I can't get in so I can't really comment on this group. With almost 100 members, it's almost as exclusive as the university it hails from. More information here. Did I miss anything? If you know of any other useful Yahoo, Google or other Groups that you feel should be part of the list, please write a comment and tell me. Please be helpful to others and be job finders While using these forums, if you see people posting with the word ‘JOBSEEK' in the subject of their message or you notice anyone else looking for job search help, suggest they visit JobMob so that they can get answers to their job search questions. Thanks in advance for them and for us.eval If you found this article helpful, you'll like The Ultimate RSS Feed Collection for the Israeli Job Seeker. Was this roundup useful?

What Information Is Included In A Resume Writing Course Review?

What Information Is Included In A Resume Writing Course Review?When it comes to the information contained in resumes, there are many tips that can be used by companies looking to hire new employees. One of the most important details included on a resume is the basic skill level that an applicant has, as this is what makes up the core of the resume.Resume writing is an art, but for the person using this particular form of communication, it is the skill of knowing how to put the information on the page that is essential. This means that the first thing you need to do when beginning a resume writing course review is to take a look at the writing samples provided.Skills are important, but they are not the only criteria for a good resume. The reason that the skill level is very important is because this is the information that will be included on the resume. For example, if you are searching for a job as a housekeeper, the skill level for this position would be on par with those jobs as w ell as positions that require higher skill levels.The skill level will include anything from basic things like grammar and spelling to something more complicated like formatting a resume or programming a computer. In addition, it is important to look at the portfolio and previous experience of the resume writer that is being reviewed. This is important because these types of people should know how to write resumes that appeal to the specific company that they are representing.There are many different types of writing that can be done, and each one of them should be examined carefully before being included on a resume. For example, if you have been involved in one project or another, then this will be included on your resume. However, if you were an assistant to a writer, then this would not be so easy to include in the resume, because it is going to make the resume look amateurish.Another tip to keep in mind is that you need to make sure that the skill level is compatible with the c ompany you are applying for. For example, if you are a writer, you will want to put as much emphasis on your writing skills as possible. However, if you were just hired as a receptionist, you might have to cut down on the focus on your work ethic.You might even find that a certain resume writing course review shows videos where you can see how the entire process works. This is beneficial because many applicants do not understand how important the skill level can be in the professional resume. They usually just try to write a resume and hope that the one that reads it is hiring the individual that they had in mind when they wrote it.If you do not understand how important it is to include the skill level of the applicant in your resume, then consider the fact that many times an application will not get a positive response without this information included. With today's technology, the applications that are already out there are going to seem outdated and unappealing, as the entire tec hnology for resume writing just does not exist in all areas. So take a look at the videos that are given, as they are a great way to get to the bottom of this issue.

The Truth About The Worst Recruiting Nightmares

The Truth About The Worst Recruiting Nightmares Forget demons and serial killers in masks, recruiters have other things haunting their dreams this Halloween season. From seemingly perfect candidates who completely mess up their interview to clients who are never satisfied, finding great talent means facing some scary things. Check out the below infographic; it shows that  32 percent of American companies are having trouble filling open positions. And that means recruiters have to work harder than ever to connect employees with the right employers. Fortunately, there are also some tips on there to show you how you can overcome these difficult situations. Here’s a look at what makes both clients and candidates a recruiter’s worst nightmare, and how to turn them into a dream come true: Clients The nightmare Every recruiter has had that one client whose expectations and list of job requirements never seems to end. You find them a great candidate, but then they tell you they’d like someone with more customer service experience. This is a big part of what’s turned the hiring process into a long, involved process. As the infographic shows, it now takes an average of 26-34 days to fill an open position. And to find that perfect candidate, hiring managers and recruiters have to turn to, on average, 15 different sources. Then, after all that hard work and effort, low retention rates mean it won’t be too long before the position is vacant again. According to Indeed of being hired, 65 percent of new employees are already looking at job listings again. So how do you wake up from that client nightmare? The dream To improve the situation with difficult clients, the secret is good communication early in the relationship. By getting on the same page about their expectations, both you and your client will know what the ideal candidate would look like. Start by going in-depth into the job requirements. Careerbuilder tells us that  42 percent of hiring managers would still consider a candidate who meets most of their requirements. Find out which skills are the most important to the employer and which ones they’re willing to compromise on. You also need to hone your skills assessing the top baseline skills for companies across industries. Burning Glass Technologies explains that the most in-demand skills for employees are communication, organizational, and writing skills. Find ways to see how well each candidate exhibits these skills and you’ll be better able to match them to clients expectations. Candidates The nightmare Job seekers have one main goal: to find employment. If they’ve been on the hunt for an extended period of time, it’s not uncommon for them to get a little desperate. And that can make things more difficult for recruiters. That’s what’s led to an increase in the number of under-qualified candidates employers have been seeing in the hiring process. According to the CIPD,  48 percent  of hiring managers said they now receive more unqualified candidates than in the past. In addition, many  HR professionals report most job seekers are disappointing in the interview. Since you can’t magically wave a wand and make a candidate more skilled, how do you end this nightmare? The dream The hiring process is stressful for candidates, and you need to help them prepare. In fact, CareerArc tells us  60 percent of candidates say better communication throughout and after the hiring process would have the biggest impact on improving their experience. Stay in touch with candidates every step of the way so both of you know what to expect next. Putting them at ease will also create a better rapport between you and them. That way, they won’t feel the need to lie about their imperfections as job seekers. When there are no surprises during the hiring process, things go much smoother for everyone. Recruiting doesn’t have to be a scary process. Hopefully with these tips you’ll be able to get a better night’s sleep knowing that both your candidates and your clients are getting exactly what they need from you.
