Career Search Optimization June 2, 2011

Are you looking for jobs online with little to no success? Are you wondering why HR isn't responding to your application?

Did you know that 85% of positions are recruited by word-of-mouth?

Due to overwhelming number of application submission (200 - 1,600 per opening), companies have had to change their hiring practices. In this free seminar, we'll dissect recent recruiting and hiring changes and teach you what you need to know to find your ideal job quickly.

Professionals-in-Transition (aka Job Seekers) will benefit by:

>> Learning about potential pitfalls and common job seeker mistakes
>> Knowing how to avoid the recruiter and company blacklists
>> Learning how to properly position oneself with a prospective employer
>> Being empowered and given practical strategies to find employment faster

Typical seminar participants are middle to late career professionals-in-transition or self-employed entrepreneurs attracted to cutting edge job search strategies. Their professions are in a wide range such as law and accounting, health care, software engineering, manufacturing, sales and marketing, writing, operations, project management, and general management.

Some of the topics we will discuss:

>> HR hiring changes since (October 2008 - December 2010) you'll need to know
>> Why applying online first (through companies or job boards) can only hurt your application
>> How to maximize job fairs, recruiting events, or career mixers
>> Understand the difference between applicant tracking systems (ATS) and vendor management systems (VMS)
>> What is a hiring blacklist and are you on it

Speaker is Paul Anderson, Seattle Times Career Columnist, TV Show Co-Host on Comcast, and featured national expert on career transition.
