Realize that Youth Unemployment is rising..Find solution

FEARS of a Lost Generation were raised yesterday as youth jobless figures soared to an all-time high of 952,000.

MPs, union leaders and business chiefs united to demand more action to save the nation's kids from a life on the scrapheap.

The shocking statistics were revealed as Britain's unemployment total hit 2.49million - the highest in 15 years.

Two in five of those on the dole are aged 16 to 24 - and many lack the skills to compete for work.

The number of kids looking for a job has rocketed by 6,000 since August.

Alarmingly, a THIRD of teens aged 16 to 18 are now unemployed.

Dave Prentis, leader of the giant Unison union, said: "More needs to be done to prevent a lost generation.

"It is very damaging for young people to be out of work for lengthy periods."

Problems

Tories claimed the official figures show the economy is "on a knife-edge".

Shadow work and pensions secretary Theresa May said: "Ministers need to stop trying to rewrite unemployment figures and start tackling the problem."

Lib Dem Steve Webb said: "The Government's headline-grabbing announcements haven't even scratched the surface of the problems young people face in this recession."

Employment Minister Jim Knight unveiled plans to create 2,800 new jobs for youngsters.

They will be hired as youth workers, events managers, IT repairers, lab assistants and energy specialists under the Future Jobs Fund.

Overall unemployment has risen by 21,000 since August. Young women with no qualifications were worst hit - with 46 per cent out of work.

More than 127,000 private sector jobs have gone since June - but 23,000 MORE public service jobs were created.

Interview tips

Company Research

Research should always be your first step. Gathering background information on employers is a crucial element in successful interview preparation. You will need to be prepared to answer the questions "What do your know about our company"? and "Why do you want to work here?" Knowing as much as possible about the company's past performance and future plans can make your interview more interactive and could be just the leg up you need in a competitive job market. Before the interview review the company's web site and don't be afraid to contact your prospective employer to request details on the position you are interviewing for or to ask for company literature. Google the company to see what other information is available online.

Practice Makes Perfect

Practice makes perfect (or at least leads to improvement). Practice with a friend and record or videotape your responses so you can replay the interview and see how well you did. Prepare answers to commonly asked interview questions. Doing so will help you analyze your background and qualifications for the position.

Behavioral Interviews

Behavior based interviewing is becoming more common. It is based on the premise that a candidates past performance is the best predictor of future performance. Rather than the typical interview questions on your background and experience, you will you need to be prepared to provide detailed responses including specific examples of your work experiences.

The best way to prepare is to think of examples where you have successfully used the skills you've acquired. Take the time to compile a list of responses to both types of questions and to itemize your skills, values, and interests as well as your strengths and weaknesses. Emphasize what you can do to benefit the company rather than just what you are interested in. Also prepare a list of questions you want to ask the interviewer. Remember, you aren't simply trying to get the job - you are also interviewing the employer to assess whether this company and the position are a good fit for you.

Prepare For the Interview

It is very important to be on time for the interview. On time means ten to fifteen minutes early. If need be, take some time to drive to the office ahead of time so you know exactly where you are going. Know the interviewer's name and use it during the interview. If your not sure of the name, call and ask prior to the interview. Remember to bring an extra copy of your resume and a list of references.

Stay Calm

During the interview try to remain as calm as possible. Ask for clarification if you're not sure what's been asked and remember that it is perfectly acceptable to take a moment or two to frame your responses so you can be sure too fully answer the question.

End the interview with a thank you to the interviewer and reiterate your interest in the position. Then follow-up with a personal Thank You note restating your interest.
