Keys to Success in an Uncertain Job Market

Today's ever-changing job market continues to be one of the most challenging in many years. Business pressures will be intense due to the interdependent economy. Management-level cutbacks will be common in many industries to control the "bottom-line."

This, coupled with increasingly large numbers of post-graduate and college-educated professionals entering the work force, has heightened the level of effort required to effect a successful career transition.

Most people will take a traditional, time consuming, and ultimately frustrating approach to changing jobs or for seeking new entrepreneurial ventures. After preparing a resume, they will usually answer several ads, they will contact a few agencies and recruiters, and ask their friends to "keep their eyes and ears open." Others, will simply write directly to companies or "knock on doors," and then wonder why nothing has happened.

Additionally, most people seriously overestimate their knowledge of the job changing process. They also miscalculate their interviewing skills. Yet, few subjects are more vital to a person's livelihood and overall quality of life. Job seekers simply do not have the means, the knowledge, or the time to gain full coverage or to access effectively the right people at the right time in this highly fragmented marketplace.

It is necessary to take an objective look at the hiring process (and the dynamics of the job market) to understand why these traditional approaches usually fail. CareerPro approaches the issue with the following actions:

• Talent Assessment/Resume Development

• Strategic Positioning

• Career Management Planning

• Self-Marketing

• Interview Training

• Personal Branding

• Personalized Career Mentoring
