I miss Erskineville – and Bittons gourmet deli in particular. I miss getting up and being at the beach in 20 minutes.

Anna: Very good points. And the Aberdeen Group’s report adds some good data to support your article. We have found within our clients that valid and reliable behavioral assessment tools are most valuable in selecting and hiring the right people into the right jobs. Understanding their motivations and drives before hand helps leaders and manager better predict performance. Good article.

Great point and perspective on pre employment related to sales. Sales requires a specific type of person so it is good to screen out poeple who would be a poor motivational fit

“I don’t see the need for a dramatic increase in permanent skilled migration,” Mr Swan told The Courier-Mail. “I think what we have to do in the first instance is train Australians.”

Mr Swan, action is needed today to convert lip service to truth. The bulk of mining work is ‘semi-skilled’, meaning that initial training need only be very brief. 3 weeks is not unreasonable. This contrasts starkly with the delay inherent in training a trade-qualified worker and the two shouldn’t be confused.

It doesn’t take a clairvoyant to see that federal government, in concert with mining employers have the financial and logistic capacity to deliver the miracle of employment, not benefits, to thousands more Australians right now.

Please read this. Equally important will be to connect money and workers efficiently. The less the bureaucracy, the better. The less that third-party groups hijack the process, and the money, the better. What we want is to connect the Australians who are ready and eager to work in mining with the *opportunities to work* that they do *deserve*. What is needed are Emergency Measures.

And, employers please let us remember that only a small proportion of the workforce exists in the preferred 25-35 years demographic, ‘competent, energetic and still malleable’. We all have parents and many of us have children. This needs to be inclusive.

The German Alternative/Integrative Clinics have been using hyperthermia (whole/partial body) as a therapy for a very long time. They have an outstanding track record over all.
