Expert advice on how to master the virtual job interview over Zoom and Skype while in isolation - ABC News. Farmers in Northern Territory left out of latest skilled migrant worker scheme despite high hopes. Posted earlier today at 9:36amWed 2 Jan 2019, 9:36am Northern Territory melon farmer David Cormack will hold out for one final growing season before he locks the farm gate for the final time and gives up on his life's work.
He said it was due to an inability to attract and retain staff in the Top End. Every year, Mr Cormack's situation has worsened, he said, as he found himself hiring "from the bottom of the barrel": workers who were unskilled, inexperienced, or suspected drug addicts. He laid the blame at the feet of Australia's visa system. "Our situation is just so appalling, that you just get someone taught and they're gone," Mr Cormack said.
"It's got to the point now that we are reducing our production for this year, and if it gets any worse we will cease to function as a melon farm. " The program, and agreement between the NT and Federal governments, came into effect on January 1, and means that now an additional 36 occupations are available to overseas nationals in the jurisdiction. Bias in reference checks means it's time we looked for an alternative. Opinion Updated As much as we'd like to think we've refined the hiring process over the years to carefully select the best candidate for the job, bias still creeps in.
Candidates who come from privileged backgrounds are more able to source impressive, well-connected referrers and this perpetuates the cycle of privilege. While the referrer's reputation and personal clout make up one aspect of the recommendation, what they actually say — the content — completes the picture. Research shows gender bias even invades in the content of recommendations. Since it's unlikely that of the 1,200 recommendation letters analysed, female candidates were less excellent than the male candidates, it means something else is going on. A result like this may be explained by the gender role conforming adjectives that are used to describe female versus male applicants. Recommendations aren't good predictors of performance.

Resume robot wars: How employees could match employers' use of tech in job applications. Opinion By Joshua Krook, University of Adelaide Posted An estimated 90 per cent of large companies are using automated software to read and respond to resumes.
From tracking software that reads a resume looking for keywords, to automated emails, phone interviews and skills testing — companies are doing less manual processing than ever before. If companies are using automated software in hiring, then job applicants should be able to use the same technology. In an increasingly competitive job market, with some advertisements attracting hundreds of thousands of applications, there is less chance that the time spent on putting together an application will be rewarded. As the number of applicants increases, the success of any one applicant decreases. In other words, job applications have become a numbers game. In the hands of applicants, automated software would drastically cut down the time taken to apply for the requisite number of jobs to secure a position. What a job application robot looks like.
