EMPLOYMENT Work plays a major part in most people’s lives.
People of all sorts work in business, and the terms businessman and businesswoman
reflect this, referring to a wide range of individuals, from the rich and
famous to small company owners, from people in large organization to those who
work for themselves. Many people choose to be self-employed (to have
their own business) or to work freelance for several employers. As the labour market become more flexible, many
employers respond by increasing the number of fixed-term contracts and part-time
workers. In large organizations, administration of people is
done by the personnel department, although this expression is new sometimes
rejected. Companies talk instead about their human resources department or
(HR). The Human Resources department is responsible for
planning, recruitment of the new people, staff training and development, staff
appraisal, welfare, pensions administration and industrial relations. It works
to ensure that the right people are available to meet the company’s needs. Recruitment is the process of employing new people.
This process will vary from one organization to another. When a company needs to recruit or employ new staff,
it may advertise the vacancy in newspapers, or may contact an employment agency,
a privet company that matches jobseekers with job. Companies looking for senior
staff may approach people working for another company, a practice known as headhunting.
Headhunters are specialist consultants who search for high-level executives and
try to persuade them to leave their current job in order to go to work in
another company. Executives may be persuaded to move company by the promise of
a golden hello: a large sum of money or some other financial enticement offered
by the company they move to. If you are a jobseeker
(a person who is looking for a job) and you are interested in a particular
post, you may decide to apply for the job. The first step is to get an
applicant form and job description from the company. The next step is to
complete the form and return it with your curriculum vitae (CV BrE) or resume
(AmE). The company’s Human Resources department will select the most suitable applicant and
invite them to attend an interview.
