O.k so we are now in September which is apparently the month that The Fed will raise interest rates in the U.S. ANyone know what exact date this event 'may' be happening???
Well ye i half know that already but was wondering what date the meeting will be where they decide or not???
Google is you friend at times like that: FOMC - Remaining Meetings September 16-17* October 27-28 December 15-16* But the bell-weather for an interest rate rise will be an increasing gold price.
I am only partly aware of the story behind jester giving you so much ribbing, but it would appear to me that (if i have the story right) "waiting for the phone to ring" is one of the reasons some can stay out of work for so long. Sending out resume's is only about 10% of the effort required to find work my friend. Have you rung these 15 places to see if they have read your CV? This is useful as it shows that you are keen, but also puts a voice to the generic CV's they read every day. I also see that you wrote "sent out"....................Hand delivered with an introduction and maybe even a flirt with the receptionist is helpful. The first thing i do when going through CV's is in order 1o they speak english and write well 2:Age, depending on the position to be filled. If it is a job in the lab we want youngsters because they have not learned bad habits from previous jobs , and they will only know our operating procedures. 3:Qualifications. There are heaps of jobs out there EVERYWHERE the only reason people do not have jobs is because they are impaired in some way or they want to start at the TOP instead of working their way up there.
Latest figures I could find from the ABS: Total number of job vacancies in May 2015 was 155,700 Number of people classified as unemployed in July 2015 was 772,300 Not sure of the number of people who are under-employed. Estimates are around 2 million I think.
http://forums.silverstackers.com/topic-59208-i-got-a-job-page-1.html Thought u already have a job, what happened to that one
My cousin is one those wanting to start at the top. His been looking for his dream job for over a year now. He could have got a job in the meantime.
I'm 100% sure the fed will raise rates at some point in the future but I'm 100% sure they will never get above 0% official rate again, I'll let you read into that what you want
If the US raises rates it indicates there is growth. So why do markets seem to be reacting negatively?
I know this is why I cannot wait to see what they do. They've forced themselves into a corner and it will be VERY interesting to see their next move?
