Senior Employment Services Practitioner

I deal with recruitment and selection of unemployed and refer them to different employers. Provide them with preparation for interviews and career development. Check day to day work from my subordinates and compile the statistics for people provided with services. Provide employment counselling to differnt people especially youth. Challenging issues, the area that I'm working at is very small and there are economic activities so there is a high rate of unemployment. This cause problems to the community, I was enjoying to work with skills development than recruitment and selection. It was challenging and providing me with new information. I was always engaging with different stakeholders and different institutions which areinvolved with skills development.

Pros: The advantages of working with differnt people especially employers. To be given all the necessary policies and procedures of handling work.
Cons: The disadvantage for doing this job is when you can not provide the unemployed with job opportunities. Tha sometimes can cause a lot of stress
