Online ad war heats up
PUBLISHING & Broadcasting's online employment business Seek is facing renewed
competition on both sides of the Tasman after publishers News Limited and John
Fairfax both moved yesterday to increase their share of the fast-growing online
recruitment advertising sector. Fairfax, which bought New Zealand auction
business Trade Me for $625 million in March, launched Trade Me Jobs yesterday,
with plans to undercut market leader Seek's advertising rates by 66 per cent.
Trade Me, which attracted 2.6 million unique visitors in July, operates in four
online classifieds sectors in New Zealand after branching into automotive and
real estate in 2003. (Australian

U.S. Tech Workers In Hot Demand Despite More Outsourcing
So much for predictions that outsourcing would turn the United States into a

too busy working to worry about competition from low-cost labor in India. And
here's the most stunning thing about all this. IT employment in the United
States is growing even as more businesses outsource tech work overseas. Hudson,
a professional staffing firm, reports in their July survey that hiring and pay
in the tech sector is up, as is worker confidence. At the same time, India's
revenues from outsourcing are climbing--up 32% in the second quarter, according
to an Indian trade group. (Information

Military Self-Sufficiency Undermined
by Outsourcing
The U.S. Army's decision to award military contracts to overseas manufacturers
highlights a disturbing "short-term" ideology and America's growing dependence
on foreign nations. On June 29, the United States Army announced it would spend
$3 billion to purchase up to 352 UH-145 helicopters from Eurocopter, a
subsidiary of European aerospace group eads (Agence France Presse, July 4). With
this deal, Eurocopter, after decades of delivering to the U.S. government and
commercial operators, has at last broken into the U.S. military market. This
represents a "major shift in Pentagon procurement policies" . (The

Deep Release: An overview of recruitment within the
Sustainable and Energy job markets Sustainability, Energy and Climate change has seen
huge growth in 2006 as company jump on the environmental bandwagon. As a result
any individuals with any skills related to these industries are highly sort
after...
Recruitment within the Climate Change and Energy division has seen a boom within
the first half of 2006. Consultancies, Developers and Utilities are all facing
the challenge of how the can compete with each other to win the best candidates
to fill their requirements, clearly making this an employees market.
Sustainable Development within Environmental Consultancies is one example of the
current market, experienced candidates who are seeking their next career move
within this sector are in a very fortunate position as they will receive job
offers from several consultancies for the same role-their decision will come
down to prestigious projects ( within the UK and on an International level ),
cross training especially within renewable energy technologies, career
development, financial gain and their perception of the client offering
employment. Within the past month I have received a number of calls from
Consultancies seeking to create, develop or expand their sustainability
divisions in the past sustainability would have been a sub division of an
Environmental or Building Services division but due to increasing environmental
legislation and greater corporate awareness of key issues such as climate
change, energy policy and sustainable development this sector will carry on
growing from strength to strength.
The same now can be said for the wind sector both on-shore and
off-shore developments throughout the UK and Worldwide need experienced
candidates within the Development ( EIA, Ecology and Planning divisions ),
Construction and Operations ( Chartered Civil, Mechanical and Electrical ) again
with such a demand our clients are competing against each other for leaders
within their chosen field. Last year this was being overshadowed in the UK by
the financial and political restraints on some projects causing the over running
on the development of both onshore and offshore projects leading to frustration
inside the industry, the start of this year however has seen Turbine
Manufacturers, Developers and Utilities recruiting professionals for projects in
the UK and Overseas but with the shortfall in experience in UK offshore
development companies are looking abroad and even sourcing professionals in
other industries where key experience can be developed and re-trained into an
industry that will lead the Renewable Energy Sector for some time to come.
Many graduates seeking to enter these markets are faced with the opposite
problem, as demand is greater for experienced professionals who will be able to
‘hit the ground running' on projects. Graduates are faced with the chicken and
egg scenario how do they get a position working within their chosen field if
they have no commercial experience. The answer do your research, Environmental
Consultancies, Developers and Utilities all have web sites carrying information
on their specialist inputs within Climate Change, Sustainability and Renewable
Energy Development. Make a shortlist of potential employers and contact them
directly to discuss opportunities and whether they offer voluntary positions to
graduates wanting to gain experience within these fields as this proves that you
have a genuine interest, motivation and keenness to develop you career as an
individual. For more information visit
