In the current economy I am still finding there are lots of marketing professionals in Ireland that don't have a job.

One of the actions many are taking is to up-skill themselves - there have been a lot of people attending the Digital Marketing Institute programmes who have traditional marketing experience and now are looking to develop a knowledge of digital marketing and social media.

However attending a course does not a digital marketing practitioner make you.

But many people find it's like the chicken and egg: which one comes first? They can't get a role in digital marketing as they don't have the experience. And they can't get the experience until they get a job.

This last week I acted as a 'matchmaker' - someone was looking for experience with digital marketing and and the other was a non profit organisation who was looking for marketing support and were especially interested in digital skills. The non profit now has a marketing professional keen to put into practice their learning and the marketing professional will have a tangible project they will able to show to a future employer and add to their portfolio.

So perhaps if you find yourself in the situation of some time on your hands that you don't want to use only to learn and network but you want to get real experience here are some idea's for how to find a role:

1. Alternatives the marketing recruitment agency now lists on their website opportunities they call 'Charity Marketing Projects'. You can register online if you are interested in being considered - here is a list of their current projects where non profits are looking for marketing, PR and communications experience.

2. Board Match Ireland supports the development of Boards and Management Committees of community and voluntary sector organisations. Candidates are then matched, based on location, skills and preferred area of interest, to non profit organisations who have also registered their board opportunities. The site is free to use and you can register online HERE - there are over 200 opportunities listed requiring from 4 hours of support a month upwards and there are many looking for strategy, marketing and PR expertise.

And don't forget the Career Bootcamp - a free series of workshops taking place during the week of the 31 August 2009 in Dublin, all speakers are gifting their time and organised by the National College of Ireland from CV experience to how to use social media platforms to help you find your next role (yes I am leading that session and all speakers for the sessions running from the 1 September onwards are gifting their time).

An Ontario court has ruled that the city of Ottawa would be violating its firefighters' right to privacy by conducting mid-employment criminal records checks. The court ruled that the only circumstances under which the city would be allowed to run a criminal records search on a firefighter would be either when the the employee is hired or when he or she has been convicted of a crime while employed.

Question #1: How does the court expect the city to know about the criminal conviction that took place while the firefighter is employed without running the mid-employment criminal records check?

Question #2: Is the court naive enough to think that an employee will only commit a crime in their jurisdiction, thereby giving the city a heads up to conduct the search?

Question #3: Does the court really think that an employee will volunteer crime or conviction information from another jurisdiction and put his or her job in jeopardy?

The court then introduced the question of whether the city should be allowed to run background checks on their firefighters prior to employment, again citing right to privacy. Don't even get me started!

Ontario court rejects mid-employment criminal record checks

08/19/2009

Arbitrator found checks should only be made at hiring or if employee gets convicted, but appeal court says employees can refuse them any time
An Ontario court has denied the rights of the City of Ottawa to perform periodic criminal records checks on firefighters in the middle of their employment. It also questioned whether the city had the right to perform these kinds of checks at all.

In 2007, the city developed a policy to perform criminal record checks on its firefighters mid-employment. The firefighters' union grieved the policy, saying the checks violated the firefighters' privacy. Under the province's Municipal Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act (MFIPPA), criminal records are protected, as opposed to individual convictions, which are available to the public. The union argued the only circumstances in which a firefighter or any other employee should be ordered to consent to a criminal records check would be when she is hired or where there are reasonable grounds, such as a criminal conviction that could affect the nature of the employment.
