Employment Search By Social Security Number - Pros And Cons Of The System

If you are in the market for a job or a change of one then there are a few things you need to know about applying for work through employment agencies - so far as fudging your resume and testimonials are concerned that is. The internet has made it very convenient for employers and employment agencies to scan and get your entire work experience as well as any comments made by your previous employer through special software.

The culprit and main key to all your employment records is your SSN or social security number. There is little that cannot be found about an individual if he or she has a social security number. And all this information can be gatherer in as little as 24 hours. This process is known as employee search through SSN.

If an employment agency conducts a search with your SSN then rest assured they will come up will all the information regarding your activities regarding employment. All the places you have worked, the kind of work you have been doing, employers references, and even all other employment agencies you have applied through presently or in the past. Many companies use this system to screen out undesired candidates by searching for undesirable work records or police records of the individual.

Now this can prove to be bad for the people who have been trotting on the wrong path but have firmly desired to improve their record. A search by SSN will definitely hamper their program and may even send them back to square one instead of giving them a chance - but who wants to take chances any way. This is the reason we have Employment searches using Social Security Numbers.

It must be borne in mind that employee search by social security number was devised to safeguard the interests of the company as a whole. It is also a way to protect the employees that are already working in the company from unscrupulous elements infiltrating the work space. This method was not devised to pry into the personal space of individuals but it does have its drawbacks. This is the reason that an individual must be informed prior to the search being conducted that there will be information personal in nature that may be exposed. It is up to the individual to accept or decline. Anonymous searches into the back ground of an individual is illegal.

However the safety of the applicant who consents to such a search must also be borne in mind. In an employment agency sees some record that is not very important theses companies must ensure that it does not hinder the employment process of the individual. Employment search by social security number is a necessary evil that must be carried out if the business interests of a company and the safety of the employees is to be safeguarded.

Nursing Careers - Is the Job Security Really There?

This question deals with an issue that is on just about everyone's mind these days: job security. It seems that every corner you peer into, the failing economy is having its impact. No one is immune.

Within the profession of nursing, however, the news is good...yet very complicated. Jobs are being lost at a frightening pace here in 2009. Businesses are closing their doors so fast it can make your head spin. Many of today's jobs are jobs that depend on people either having money to spend, or enough credit to feel comfortable in spending money they don't actually have.

When that dries up, consumers stop consuming. Producers have to stop producing, and jobs are lost. Whether it's new homes, home decor, restaurant food, supermarket food, festivals, concerts, movies, cars, vacations, manicures, housekeeping services, or whatever, the consumer is no longer buying what producers are selling. He chooses to "go without" when money is tight and credit is almost non-existent.

But what if that same person who has chosen to close his wallet and do without has a heart attack? Catches pneumonia? Breaks his arm?

This is where the truth of the job security that nursing affords begins to show forth: no matter the economy, no matter the state of the world's banks, people will continue to get sick. They will continue to be injured. They will continue to need nurses in hospitals and doctors' offices and clinics and schools and everywhere else to help care for them.

Turn on the TV news, or look on the internet, and you'll find reports of hospitals laying off nursing staff, mainly in the large city hospitals. Sounds scary, no? Keep in mind that the entire world is making a very huge, and very necessary financial adjustment. Hospitals and the rest of the health care sector are no exception.

What is happening in nursing today isn't entirely new, although our current situation is much, much more complicated. The current economy poses unique problems as well as unique opportunities. The future for nurses is changing rapidly, and those who know what is coming can position themselves to take the best advantage!

Here are the current truths, according to the Occupational Outlook Handbook of the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics:


  1. Employment of RN's is expected to grow much faster than the average for all other occupations through 2016.

  2. The aging "Baby-Boomer" population will need more and more medical and thus nursing care, though not all of it will be as hospital in-patients. The home health care sector is projected to experience the greatest growth rate through 2016.

  3. Overall job opportunities for RN's are expected to be excellent.

  4. Much of the current RN workforce is and soon will be retiring (aging Baby-Boomers); it is projected that today's aging RN's will be exiting the workforce more rapidly than they are being replaced by new RN's.

Looking for job security? Know an industry where there will ALWAYS be "consumers?" Know an industry where demand is projected to be much, much greater than supply? Think nursing!

When I accepted my first job offer as a newly graduated nurse back in 1984, it was on a cardiac step-down unit at a large, university-affiliated hospital in Chicago. I rented an apartment, took out a loan to buy a car, and got ready for my first day of work. About a week before that first day, the phone rang.

"Lori, this is Human Resources calling...we've had some budget cuts, and I'm afraid your position has been eliminated. I'm sorry." What? Did I just lose a job I hadn't even started?

Trembling, I told her that I'd just signed a lease and taken a car loan and I had no income. She asked me if I would be interested in a position in their geriatric center (it was kind of like a glorified nursing home). I took it. Nursing jobs were hard to get.

In less than a year, I was working on the cardiac step-down unit I had originally been hired for. A year after that, I started work in the intensive care unit (ICU). And a year after that, my husband and I moved out of the city and I was welcomed with open arms to the ICU of the local suburban hospital. There weren't enough nurses to fill all the open positions, so the hospitals had to hire outside agency nurses.

Will you be able to get the exact job you want in the exact facility you want at the exact time you want? Maybe. Maybe not. Much of it will depend upon your location and whether or not you are actually qualified for the position you seek.  A newly graduated nurse, for example, is not qualified to work in the ICU or the ER.  Will you be able to get what you want eventually? If you're qualified, probably, yes! Of course, I can't guarantee you employment throughout your lifetime--no one can. I can tell you that as a nurse, your odds of staying employed are way better than most! Remember, in this life, people will always get sick, always get injured, always grow old, and always need some kind of care. 

Of course, job security is one of the great benefits of a career in nursing. But by itself, it isn't enough of a reason to choose nursing as your vocation.  Be sure you consider everything about this challenging field of work, to make sure you have what it takes to be a nurse.  All the touted job security in the world doesn't mean much to the nurses who walked away from their careers, exhausted and burned-out, because they entered a profession they simply weren't meant to be in.  But if nursing is for you, the outlook is certainly positive!   




Lori Havens R.N., B.S.N., is the author of "7 Essential Questions Every Future Nurse Must Ask," a free "mini e-course" which helps answer the biggest questions that people looking into nursing as a career option have; she has also authored "Should I Be A Nurse? A Journey of Self-Exploration for Those Considering A Career in Nursing," a 102 page e-book which takes the reader through a series of carefully-crafted "conversations" and thought-provoking exercises designed to help answer that all-important question: "Should I Be A Nurse?"

Homeland Security Jobs in the U.S. - the job market booming

In the wake of 9 / 11 of the homeland security business is booming, and now it eclipses mature as film-making and the music industry's annual turnover. In this multi-billion airport security firms was the opening theme, but in recent years the industry has expanded into a wide range of companies hawking all kinds of products and services for the safety of nearly every imaginable terrorist target. area of internal security now includes border, rail, seaport,Industrial and protection of nuclear power plants as well as chemical, biological and radiological detection. One of the biggest clients in the field is a post-9/11 creation, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security. This is a federal agency whose primary mission is to prevent, protect against and respond to acts of terrorism on U.S. soil. In addition to "traditional" activities, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security received in April of this year without approval by Congress on alllegal requirements quickly install additional physical barriers and roads along the border to prevent illegal activities. According to Secretary Chertoff, "to stop the criminal activities at the border, for endless debate or protracted litigation," having "Congress and the American public was that they want and expect border security that we are serious, and these exemptions it is important to safety. projects to go forward. "This extension ofActivities' again to increase the labor market, and if you are interested in working in this area, you should train to jump. In fact, there are 20,000 jobs posted on the Internet and trends.

Climate change is another challenge that require more investment in the area of Homeland Security for the future. According to an article by Joshua W. Busby of the University of Texas at Austin in The Washington Post March 22, 2008,The U.S. government needs measures for risk reduction and adaptation, mitigation of emissions of greenhouse gases to take, and institutional changes in U.S. government in preparation for the U.S. to deal with, going out with the threat of global climate disruption.

"Climate Concerns for safety and do not get them to give due attention in the United States government because they have some high-level sample. A new deputy undersecretary of defense for environmental and safety position for the Restitutioninsufficient institutionalization of climate and environmental problems of the Department of Defense. That is, not to be confused with the defense, what the military can. Since the agenda for the reduction of risk is obvious, the other instruments of national power will also be necessary. To this end, the U.S. needs a number of executive positions in the National Security Council on environmental issues of security, including a Deputy National Security Advisor for Sustainable Development to guideprocess between institutions. The links between climate and security still can not get enough attention. A special adviser to the president on climate change with some budgetary authority could also help. "

In conclusion, national security is a booming market for job seekers and the trend will continue for five minutes or more than a decade ago. A terrorist attack in the United States, Europe or Japan could increase the world market in 2015 to 730,000,000,000 dollars, more than twelvetimes higher than current levels, so Tomer Amit, vice president of Homeland Security Research. "Most of the growth in this decade of building what Homeland Security Research will be calls" a homeland defense infrastructure. "The growth of technology is expected to monitor and detect nuclear weapons of mass destruction are," says Amit.

All indicators show the green light to begin a career in this promising and excitingIndustry.

Do not let your employer to determine your financial security

The concept of "financial security" may, developed the Great Depression performing as if the sense of feeling secure came from receiving regular income through a permanent job. From the Great Depression and through much effort by the attempt to secure better conditions for workers trust their employers to greater concern for their welfare.

However, it is a sad reminder that organizations can fail, and then resizing, restructuring,or selling out to the highest bidder. This downsizing or ditch "tactics often leave people in fear, while the administration tries to be the organization, or at least prove to themselves. Employees can be fired, transferred or discharged.

The cold reality is that large companies are increasingly focused on their bottom line, and while they look at their employees as possible, their concerns about the human element is dictated first tryLegislation, rather than driven by a genuine sense of empathy for humanity. The bottom line is that if you have any influence on the bottom line in a positive way, they let you go.

Employees who depend on the organization for their financial security organization, subject to the whims undisputed. The individual has little power or control over what they earn, where they work, the longevity and reliability of their income or their position. They are simply aNumber.

And if the employee is required to pay a mortgage, children need to be done at school or university, a new car with heavy payments are powerless without financial security afterall.

So it's really such a thing as a "financial security? Brief," Yes. "But in the context that is generally recognized. Financial security is not acquired working for an organization - not the job for a purchase.

Statistics show that after 40 years of workwork, 63% of people are financially dependent on government subsidies or their children, 29% do not, retired, work financially stable at 4%, 3% and still only 1% of wealthy people are independent. "

What separates the 1% from the rest? Mainly, 1% for both the autonomy of self, owned a successful company, or taking advantage of previous investments.

Real financial security is the manifestation ofThe wealth gained through faith in themselves and their ability to create income anytime, anywhere. Entrepreneurs have understood this concept and applied it for generations after the Great Depression.

Entrepreneurs know that at any time, regardless of the economy, have the skills, know-how and determination to create and maintain their own lifestyle. They refuse to depend on the whims and decisions of others. Instead, as they areCorporation, produces the income that comes from commitment, application and pure motivation. They are the essence of financial security, and reap the rewards.

So if you still flying solo, as an employee, the work vulnerable to the whims and decisions of the company for which you are or intend to create a better way to distinguish themselves as successful entrepreneurs, will try anyway, you must ensure that expected to work or start working on aPlan.

Job Search Strategies - Seven Kinds of Job Interviews

Probably the most important thing to remember about a job interview is that once you get past Human Resources the people interviewing you are probably amateurs at interviewing. They are pros at whatever their major responsibility is but hiring new employees constitutes only about 2% - 5% of what they do. That means that if you are prepared you have a fairly good chance of subtly controlling the interview by the questions you ask and the way you structure your resume.

Here are some of the kinds of interviews you can expect to encounter. Each takes a slightly different type of preparation and tactics.

1. Standard Interview. This is the type of job interview which you probably expect. It's mostly a "getting to know you" walk through your background, perhaps by way of your resume. If you are actually in a face-to-face interview chances are better than 90% that they already know that you can do the job so this interview has as a primary goal to check out if the chemistry works. Can you fit in with the corporate culture? Are you the type of person who will fit well into our team?

2. Behavioral Interview. This type of interview is the exception to the amateur rule - most of the people conducting behavioral interviews have had specific training to do behavioral interviews. Frequently these interviews are conducted by 2 people with 1 asking the questions and 1 making notes on your answers and, possible, giving you a numerical score. For companies committed to behavioral interviewing, this is a hurdle you have to get over but it is seldom the only interview. You are more likely to encounter occasional behavioral questions in standard interviews.

3. Panel Interview. This type of interview may be conducted just because of scheduling efficiency but it more often has the purpose of observing how you interact with a group of co-workers (either the team you will be a part of or inter-departmental people you will be interacting with) or to observe your presentation style. In all cases, be sure to make eye contact with everyone and include as many of the panel as possible in your answer. And all of them get an individualized thank you note.

4. Sequential Panel Interview. This is when they sit you in a conference room and send in anywhere from 3 to 6 or 8 people in to interview you one at a time. There are 2 keys to this type of interview. The first is stamina - get plenty of rest the night before and don't plan on doing anything that night. And the second - if you use a success story with one person and the same story, from a different angle, is appropriate in talking to another person, tell the second person that you have already discussed this situation from a different angle and with whom so that, when they compare notes they won't be confused.

5. Technical Interview. Obviously this type of interview is a given if you are interviewing for a technical position. However, it may also happen to check out your professional acumen in any profession. This interview won't usually get you the job but it will definitely get you eliminated if you don't demonstrate the level of knowledge that the interviewer knows is necessary for the position.

6. Social Interview. This is an especially common type of interview for anyone in a business development or sales position. If you will be interacting with customers or prospects in public, your potential employer wants to know how you perform in a business social setting. Remember, this is still an interview and act accordingly. Don't order anything sloppy (this is not the time for spaghetti or steamed crabs) and be very aware of your table manners. If everyone at the table orders alcoholic drinks, join in, but just take token sips.

7. Approval Interview. This interview is just to check that the boss's boss doesn't take an instant and strong dislike to you. Here, even more than everywhere else, the important goal is to create chemistry, chemistry, chemistry. This person can say "yeah" or "nay" about your coming on board but is probably not very interested in details. Best way to handle this interview is to follow the interviewer's lead.

Regardless of the type of interview you encounter, the bottom line is chemistry. If they like you they will overlook all sorts of deficits but if they don't you could walk on water and they wouldn't care.

Homeland Security Jobs in the US - Booming Job Market

In the wake of 9/11 the homeland security business is still booming, and now it eclipses mature enterprises like movie-making and the music industry in annual revenue. In this multi-billion business airport security was the initial focus, but during the past years the industry has expanded into a wide range of companies hawking all kinds of products and services for securing nearly every imaginable terrorist target. The homeland security industry now includes border, rail, seaport, industrial and nuclear plant protection as well as chemical, biological and radiological detection. One of the biggest customer in the field is a post-9/11 creation, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security. This is a federal agency whose primary mission is to help prevent, protect against, and respond to acts of terrorism on United States soil. Apart from the "traditional" duties, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security received in April this year authority from the congress to waive all legal requirements necessary to expeditiously install additional physical barriers and roads at the border to deter illegal activity. According to Secretary Chertoff: "Criminal activity at the border does not stop for endless debate or protracted litigation," "Congress and the American public have been adamant that they want and expect border security. We're serious about delivering it, and these waivers will enable important security projects to keep moving forward." This extention of activities will again boost the job market and if you are interested in working in this field you should consider to jump on the train. Actually there are over 20,000 jobs published on the internet and the trend is going up.

Climate change is an other challenge that will requiere more investments in the homeland security field in the future. According to an article published by Joshua W. Busby of the University of Texas at Austin in the Washington Post on March 22, 2008, the US government needs to take action on risk reduction and adaptation, mitigation of greenhouse gas emissions, and institutional changes in the U.S. government to prepare the U.S. to deal with the threat posed by global climatic disruption.

"Climate and security concerns do not get the attention they deserve in the U.S. government because they have few high-level champions. A new deputy undersecretary of defense position for environmental security should be created to redress the insufficient institutionalization of climate and environmental concerns in the Department of Defense. That said, we should not confuse national defense with what the military can do. As the risk reduction agenda makes clear, other instruments of national power will also be needed. To that end, the U.S. needs several senior positions in the National Security Council dedicated to environmental security, including a Deputy National Security Advisor for Sustainable Development to guide the inter-agency process. The links between climate and security still might not get sufficient attention. A special advisor to the president on climate change with some budgetary authority might also help."

As a conclusion, homeland security is a booming market for job seekers and the trend will continue for at least five to ten years more. One major terrorist attack in the United States, Europe or Japan could increase the global market in 2015 to $730 billion, more than a twelve fold increase from today's level, according to Tomer Amit, vice president of Homeland Security Research. "Most of the growth this decade will come from building what Homeland Security Research calls "a homeland defense infrastructure." Growth areas are likely to include technology for surveillance and for detection of nuclear and other weapons of mass destruction", Amit says.

All indicators are showing green light for starting a career in this promising and highly interesting industry.

Job Security Trends: Why are people changing jobs?

Job Market Trends

In the past ten years, it was generally known that the average worker is no longer the same lifetime job security that year, he / she was fifty. Today's workers are more likely to be between jobs and in other projects and companies involved in the course of their careers. Also in 1982 the average working time-span for a worker in a job was 8 years. Why has the market is inclined towards shorter periods of employment? Here are aSome of the factors:

Gendered influences

A study in the United States with data from 1973-1993 census found that there are two different trends in how long workers stay in their work. Men with low education (less than twelve years) are the no school funds are less likely now have a lifetime of work as if she had twenty years ago. However, women with school are better places for life, than they havetwenty years ago. This shows that the sex with less of an effect in the workplace, and that education today is the deciding factor for many positions.

Educational issues

In Ontario, since 1990 there has been a dramatic increase in employment growth by educational attainment. People with no education have little chance to find a job. Let this number not be alarmed if you still in school: This refers to the final level of educationthe future workforce. People with a high school diploma have the same chance of finding a job, as they are now in the early nineties. Above all, people with higher education, the majority of workers are in the present.

Technology Matters

In Canada was in 2000, a study of workers whose jobs are affected by the increase in computerization that the technology has a dubious relationship to job security. Of the respondents, a wideMajority (68%) believe their job security had been the same even with changing technologies. A quarter of these studies (24%) believe their jobs have become more secure. The smallest group, 9% felt their job security if they were affected by the advent of new technologies.

How does this affect me?

This information brings positive news for most workers.

First, if you are dissatisfied with your work, you can help change orders.Making career changes later in life is not as difficult as it once was. In fact, it might be useful for you to change jobs.

Secondly, if you change jobs, depending on the domain, you could be in a counter-offer or offer multi-position. This means that you will be able to ask a higher salary from your future employer. You might even have more than one employer to compete for your position.

Third, the formation isKey. Knowledge is the key to the labor market means that you can easily find a job. If you know what training is required for the desired career, go get it. Take advantage of evening classes, if you want. But you have the choice of training for your career need to earn at least a concrete goal and education is available. Even if you do not need a diploma or degree, consider holding short courses with certificate to your qualifications from their best side.

And finallyKeeping pace with technology. Technology as the labor market, and if you prove to your prospective employer that you are most qualified to use the tools of the trade, you probably save the location. Training or experience could show the way, your up-to-the-minute skills.
