450 jobs at risk at CIT but businesses are less pessimistic

A report out by KBC banks indicates that many Irish employers feel we are over the worst of the recession. This assessment was released as a cloud hangs over CIT Group with a subsidiary employing 450 staff in Dublin

Newspapers report that up to 450 jobs at the Dublin subsidiary CIT are at risk if the parent firm cannot convince the government in the US that it should receive debt guarantees to support survival.

KBC Bank found that businesses in general are less pessimistic about the future and are expecting to cut fewer jobs in the coming months. Green shoots in US and UK are the main factors behind the positive sentiment.

All the recent talk of “green shoots” but could we actually be witnessing the first signs of spring ….

Alcatel-Lucent has asked the Government for grant assistance for an expansion of its Bell Labs research unit. Dublin is one of the cities being considered for the expansion. The decision on the location of the project will be taken in the next few months. A positive decision for Dublin could see the establishment of an international centre of excellence for basic research.

Randox will boost R&D capabilities at its Antrim facility with a STG9.2m investment package. The company specialises in clinical diagnostics and has pioneered the development of innovative biochip analysing technology.

As many as 2/3 of organisations surveyed recently admitted that they will not survive next year unless there is a drastic change in the current economic conditions.

A recent survey by ISME indicated that many were pessimistic and that they did not see evidence of an upturn in the economy. Instead they faced into reduced orders and difficult accessing credit.

There were 600 companies surveyed and it is no surprise that the construction sector was the most pessimistic. Retail, distribution, manufacturing and services were not far behind though.

This news has a major impact on jobs in the sector with over 40% of those surveyed expecting to let staff go.

Certainly there was no evidence of “green shoots” from this ISME survey.

In tough times people quite often turn to self help books for inspiration and support. This multimillion dollar industry is preying on the vulnerable and quite often churning out the same stuff under a new revolutionary formula. Most of the readers are looking for quick fix and easy solution BUT in reality there are no easy solutions. Ask any successful person and they will tell you this – “the harder I work the luckier I get”. I recall a book I read some years back which did make sense but on further analysis it was nothing different than that which my mother had drilled into me throughout my youth. Below I have outlined some her classic advice …. and it is not write a CV or prepare for Interviews …..

Nobody likes a misery guts – Sulking and complaining never won any friends. Are you complaining? Are you blaming? Has it assisted your job hunting? I understand that job hunting in a tough market is difficult particularly for those out of work. However negativity will not bring anything to the table. People don’t like to hear it will actually switch off or worse avoid you all together. More importantly negativity will drain your own energy. If you are out of work and struggling to find employment or if you are seeking a career change without success – complaining or blaming won’t assist in any way.

Smarten yourself up – When this was said to me it was about physical appearance but for the purpose of this piece I mean how you market yourself. Ensure that your CV and cover letter are sharp. Ensure that they make the right impact. CV Writing Service in Ireland.

You need to work harder – We have all heard the saying – “work smarter and not harder” In reality you should be doing both. You need to work smart and hard. You need plenty of activity but channeled in the right direction. If you are unsuccessful in your job search – have you explored all the available channels? A friend said to me recently that he had tried everything to get a job but he never asked me for help!! Proactive job search channels will help you access the hidden job market. My friend’s girlfriend got an administration job last month that was never advertised.

I don’t want you hanging around with him – Parents can always spot a bad egg and are skilled at identifying unsuitable associates. You need to use this strategy when job hunting in a tough market. You don’t need negativity when job hunting in a tough market. Spend less time talking to your negative friends and more time talking with the positive and bubbly element of you close network. Surround yourself with support BUT not those who fester negativity and doom and gloom.

Turn off that TV and do your homework – I was never a big TV person as a kid but I guess anything came above homework. The reason I say turn off the TV is because the current content will not inspire you. Most of the news in the papers and on the radio is negative. Reading and listening to this everyday will not inspire you. Remember bad news sells at the minute and the media is ensuring we get our fill of it.
