 We all know that we are bang in the middle of a full blown credit crunch at the moment, with companies dropping left right and centre, it looks as though things are only set to get worse. With these companies on the brink of collapsing the unemployment figure is rising further and further, in fact in Britain we have seen the fastest rise in unemployment for 17 years and this is due to hit around 2 million people by the end of the year.

Last month the unemployment figure saw a rising of around 32,000 people; this has been the 8th month of consecutive rising figures. The most dismal figures that we have seen in almost two decades is set to get a lot worse.

The Bank of England are now being put under pressure to make a cut in interest rates, to at least relieve some of the pressure that the economy is facing, it is said the the interest rates could fall as low as 2%.

But government work is also said to see a major staff cut, with up to ten thousand prison workers and court workers set for the axe as the Ministry of Justice seeks to save themselves 900 million.

One of the most worrying aspects with the credit crunch in place is that a lot of people could potentially become homeless. As unemployment increases families could miss mortgage repayments and end up being evicted and there homes being repossessed, this would indeed then have a knock on effect which could spiral out of control.

How do I Find a Solution?

Basically on of the best solutions to turn to, is to actively seek work if you have been laid off. If you are living in a family household then all members of the family that are legally the correct age to work, should go out and work. Now is the most important time to stick together and work as a family, this will help ease financial worries.

You should also cut down on spending habits until the financial worries are over. This means less going out and less luxuries such as alcohol and deserts.

You may want to earn a little bit extra by starting your own small business such as ironing services or your own cleaning services. If you are computer savvy you could even consider starting your own web based company, as online profit is still at a very high tide.

Job Cuts: Are You Next?
By Aydan Corkern

 In the past five years, there have been more job cuts than there has ever been before. It is scary to see how many there have been and how it is getting worse every single month. People are losing their homes, cars, boats, and everything else they own, or they have to sell their things just to pay their bills so they can get by until they can find another job. They took 159,000 jobs off the payroll just in September this year. This was bigger than the job cuts in March of 2003, and it has gotten much worse since then. Just think of how bad it is going to get by the end of this year or next year. It is hard to think of but it can happen and we have to prepare for this to happen.

Did you know that 760,000 jobs had to be let go just this year? Just think of all those people out of work. It makes you sick to think of how the economy is getting and of all those people who have no jobs. The economy is going down. More and more jobs are being let go because they have to be cut and because they could not keep them on the payroll. They say we need to understand that all that is going on in the economy will be repaired and restored to how it was with time, but they need to understand that we have to have money to live on and that we can’t live like this. They need to get their acts straightened up to get it fixed or the economy will fall and fall hard.

In August there were 73,000 jobs that were cut, and in July there were 67,000 jobs gone. These occurred in just a couple of months’ time, and you can see how bad it is getting out there. If things don’t get better, there might only be a few jobs out there left or none that are hiring at all. People are getting worried because their jobs can be next in line to be cut. Jobs can slow down, and then you know it is coming. Sometimes, you will have an order so high and then it will drop, meaning it is gone and you don’t even know it. It can be because the company went out of business or that particular item that is being manufactured went out without you knowing.

Applying for a Job? Be Aware of the Employment Background Check
By Art Gib

 More and more these days, employers of all types are conducting background checks on potential employees. But it’s not the criminal background checks that job seekers should be worried about so much as the employment background checks.

Constraints of Background Checks by Employers

Many companies don’t do criminal background checks unless they are in law enforcement. And believe it or not, it is actually illegal for an employer to ask a candidate whether or not they have ever been arrested. However, they are allowed to ask if you have ever been convicted of a specific crime if it is related to the job you are applying for.

A good example would be if you are applying to be a janitor at a grade school. Such a school obviously would not want a pedophile working there, and so they might ask you if you’ve ever been convicted of child abuse. Likewise, retail stores hiring product stockers might ask if you’ve ever been convicted of shoplifting.

However, questions about convictions that are unrelated are generally not allowed. As a candidate that does have a criminal background, you would do well to study the company you are applying at and consider ahead of time whether your convictions are even remotely related to the job. If so, be prepared to answer questions about it. If not, then be prepared respond appropriately for a question that is illegal.

Employment Background Checks

The employment background check is far more common with employers both because of its ease as well as the belief that past performance is the strongest indicator of a candidate’s future performance.

This type of background usually consists of an employer calling the previous employers you have listed. If you have left any employers on bad terms and are concerned about what they might say about your performance there, then listing them might not be the best idea even if the experience you gained there would help you get the job.

The most common flag that appears in employment background checks is that the candidate never even worked where he or she claims to have worked. This will typically result in immediate rejection in your consideration for the job.

The employment background check is virtually universal these days because of how easy it is to catch a candidate in a lie about their history. Employers simply call the past employers listed and confirm that you actually worked there.

Discovering that you have been dishonest is not a good way to start off a relationship with a potential future employer, thus making it very important that you are always honest about your employment history.
