A job search on television – Telegraaf.nl

Watch TV for me is mainly a weekend affair. Saturday a movie Sunday football. During the week, the TV goes especially for the news. But the new TV show Baanbrekers my interest

.

Trailblazers is a program on the labor market. To my knowledge it is unique that in prime time, on Wednesday evening at half past eight, a television program broadcast on the job search. Compliments therefore Avro bunch, who has dared to go on this adventure

For those who do not know the program:. In Baanbrekers involves a number of vacancies which have long been open. “How is it that these functions are not filled in, while at the same time a large number of people looking for work?”, So the editors thought. They made contact with employers and job seekers called on to respond. In the broadcast apply three candidates in the studio on the job and the employer makes a choice there. A panel of three experts giving advice.



Striking

What effect does that for the viewer? What I found particularly striking in the first broadcast was the high pace. The vacancies were presented in just a few minutes, candidates were briefly presented, the Panel had little time for giving advice and the employer was urged to quickly make his choice. Applause, thank you for coming on to the next job. The candidates, the employer and I as a viewer, still panting after this time.

The program makers demonstrate aware of the improvement, because the broadcasts after had more rest and there was more time for the choice of the candidates. Rightly so, because even though the program is an application process in a pressure cooker, finding a good match between employer and job seeker must be done carefully. Go there as jobseekers but to stand, apply on TV, in front of hundreds of thousands of viewers. And the employer also does not happen overnight. Otherwise he would not have long searched for a suitable candidate.



Finding a job is people work

Baanbrekers shows that finding work is about people. Candidates usually a long time looking for work and many 50-plus, want nothing more than as soon as possible back to work and the employer really has the will to strengthen his team with a top-colleague. Candidates are sometimes uncertain and employers should decide quickly. That there are many measures that can utilize an employer to help a job seeker to a job, has gotten no attention yet. Think of a trial, training measures or wage subsidies. There are to go much broadcasts.

I continue the program with considerable interest
