Despite the creation of new jobs in our changing economy, job seekers are still finding job search difficult. According to a survey conducted by Robert Half International and Careerbuilder.com, 49% of job seekers are finding the job market difficult (MSN Report, 2005). The main reason for this is lack of job skills. Employers on the other hand, are finding it hard to recruit qualified job applicant. This presents a disparity between skilled and unskilled workers in the job market.
