Oct-24-2012 13:46TweetFollow @OregonNews Major Job Market Conundrum: Do Fears Interfere with Hiring?Barry-Lee Coyne Salem-News.comWe live in a world where the employer prefers to not hire an individual he may later need to fire.
(SALEM) - The state of the economy remains an enigma. The most consistent constant is: Worry. Thrust into this sea of turmoil and skepticism is the job hunter. In many occupations, the field is not very fertile. It's been deteriorating to a drought. And the person doing the interviewing is suddenly faced with an abundance of applicants but being pulled in another direction: skepticism. Which can lead to cynicism. Whomever is a job seeker isn't always aware of the dilemma of the one doing the hiring. It must be said that fears lurk just under the surface, and that is no Halloween prank.
It is omni-important to perceive such pitfalls. We live in a world where the employer prefers to not hire an individual he may later need to fire. If the new worker proves competence at a higher level than is shown by the worksite's old-timers, that can readily rock the boat. These are unwelcome waves of change. NOTE: Lee Coyne has undergone over 100 interviews while covering two distinct fields--Journalism and Counseling. He has also done a bit of teaching ESL, writing and sociology. Salem-News.com Community Writer Barry Lee Coyne brings to our readers stories from his combined career of journalism and gerontology, and explains that these paths shaped his values. Lee Coyne once worked for The Civil Service Leader in NY State and covered the Legislature. He has also done features on mediation and arbitration, and believes in healthy skepticism. This writer-therapist often views the world as the masks of comedy and tragedy placed upon the scales of justice. For him, optimism inevitably wins. "Lyrical Lee" has traveled to 30 nations aboard and was once a press intern at the UN. His first published article was in The NY Daily News in '59, dealing with the need for integrity in public office. He also launched the nation's first tele-conference on health education for shut-ins, created the Eldermentors project in VA to pair retirees with immigrant students needing role models, and was the main catalyst behind CCTV's "Public Public" panel show here in Salem. Lee received his BA in International Relations and an MSW in community organization. He currently serves as a member of Salem's Library Advisory Board.
