There have been quite a few postings over the last few months in which people complain that as a profession we are underpaid and undervalued. Just as many people ask for advice on how to get a job because they are having no luck. I have just advertised a job with for an experienced business information professional with interesting content, in a highly valued information unit in north London and above average salary, but I'm getting no applicants. And yes, it did appear in the FreePint jobs section, among other places. So what am I doing wrong?
