Job market is like an auction

Job market is like an auction

In the job market, the seller and buyer are brought together by mutual interest and the benefit they can be to each other...just like an auction. 

The buyer wants what the seller has to offer; the seller wants the best offer he can get for it. There may be some haggling, but in the end, if both sides are satisfied, a transaction takes place. In short, both sides want something; both have something to offer.

Recruitment is just such a market process. The employer is offering a job. He wants to attract the best possible candidate by making it as inviting as possible.

The candidates for their part each want to convince the employer that they are just right for the job and that they are better than any of the other candidates.

As in all markets, there are two sides to the deal, and it takes salesmanship and negotiation to bring them together. Each side has its own weaknesses to guard against, its own aces up its sleeve.

You must also remember that in today's extremely competitive job market, you must take the initiative when it comes to finding a new job and you must do this in a distinctive way so that you stand out from the crowd.
