Lost Your Job? Apply for Jobs Online
The news about companies cutting back is all over the news. Many companies are “downsizing” and letting “attrition” reduce their workforces. I like the euphemism “attrition” (sounds like the British “being made redundant.” ). Attrition means - “Let’s get the Baby Boomers to retire early so we can hire new, cheaper employees when things pick up again.”
If this is you, maybe you are looking for a new job. I have written before about the many online sites for baby boomers seeking jobs.
Here is another source of job information: Two companies have teamed up to present a Virtual Job Fair. VirtualCV is collaborating with eJobFairs.net to host what they call the “ultimate job fair” online. In this job fair, prospective employees can interview online. You can register online at VisualCVJobFairs. The job fair is free; you will need to complete a free virtual CV before you register.
I’m guessing there will be a lot more of this kind of thing online as employers cut back and tighten their belts.

Jean, this is a great resource! If you haven’t done so in a previous post, you might define the terms “resume” and “CV” for your readers. I have found that many people are confused on the subject.
Hi Jean,
Time has come and people need to become more creative to apply for jobs online. With all the knowledge they already have or gain while uploading Videos to Youtube, Video Resumes make more sense than ever. What are your thoughts on that?
