Joanne wins Employme.com World Cup Competition

Joanne Doherty is hoping that her search for a new job via employme.com will prove to be just as lucky as simply registering her details as a “job hunter” were!

Joanne, who was supporting Spain in Sundays final was delighted when we contacted her to inform her she was the lucky winner of a fantastic HD Ready TV/DVD and she  explained that the timing could not have been any better as her current DVD had recently broken and she was about to buy a new one!

Having met Joanne personally to present her with her fantastic prize she explained that she had registered on employme.com via our partnership with Radio Clyde and the jobs link on the Clyde1 website and with over 12 years retail experience under her belt including management positions with the British Heart Foundation, Debra and KFC I’m sure it won’t be long before our lucky winner is being contacted again with more great news inviting her to interview via employme.com

All the best with the job hunting Joanne.

The TUC certainly think it makes sense.

With the extreme weather conditions continuing how sensible has your employer been over the last few days?

The REC’s latest survey of employers shows positive signs for the UK’s labour market ahead of 2010. December’s Jobs Outlook reported that 22% of employers now say business is beginning to improve, compared to just 1% in September.

Commenting on the survey, REC’s Director of Research Roger Tweedy said:

“At last there is evidence that life is returning to the UK’s labour market. After several months of uncertainty it seems that firms are becoming more confident about their future hiring intentions.”

“Although if previous recessions are anything to go by we would expect unemployment to continue to rise even after the economy returns to growth, this report shows positive signs that unemployment will not be as high as people at the beginning of the year predicted.”

Jobs Outlook is based on a monthly sample survey of 600 employers undertaken by an independent market research company on behalf of the REC. It is designed to complement the REC’s Report on Jobs published in conjunction with KPMG, which tracks the actual number of placements on a monthly basis.

Roger Tweedy concluded: “Whilst the labour market is still very fragile, the feedback from recruiters on the frontline of the labour market suggests that it is becoming easier to place jobseekers into work. As the labour market becomes more fluid once more this in turn will create more vacancies”.
