In poor economic conditions, many exasperated job seekers seek the aid of a professional recruiter to help find jobs. Yet inundated daily with dozens of desperate workers who will take anything just to get by, recruiters have smacked the "Do Not Disturb" sign on the entry-level door. No longer can a person with a prior career simply jump in as an administrative assistant or temp worker; he or she must possess the exact, precise skills employers are looking for. And truth be told, they have a large pool to choose from.
What Recruiters are Saying
A recent conversation with a Manpower recruiter elucidated the difficulty career changers or job seekers with substantial gaps in their resumes face. While in the past a candidate could easily obtain an entry-level position in office administrative or clerical work just to get by, recruiters will not consider resumes that do not exactly match the client's requirements. "What other recruiters have probably told you," said the Manpower recruiter, "is that you have to have exact experience that matches the client's requirements."
