CHICAGO, IL--(Marketwire - March 4, 2011) - With this week's encouraging job numbers, (see February's employment report from the U.S. Dept. of Labor at http://www.bls.gov/news.release/empsit.nr0.htm) it is a great opportunity for job seekers to ramp up their job search. According to The Careers College Founder and Dean Todd Bermont, "Companies are starting to hire again and job seekers need to be ready to seize upon openings and leverage their strengths."
It's time for job seekers to be armed with the latest tools and insights in order to present themselves as the best candidate. The Careers College, the world's most comprehensive online continuing education for job seekers, can help people hone their skills and discover insider secrets that convince employers they are the best candidate. "The economy might be the reason people have lost their jobs, but it's not the reason they're not finding new ones," says Bermont.
The Careers College was created with the mission of positively impacting the lives millions of people who thirst for landing a meaningful job in today's ultracompetitive job market. Different from typical online job search resources such as content factories or employment websites, The Careers College offers much more than a database and generic advice. The university's in-depth continuing education programs give job seekers -- whether they have been laid-off, re-entering the work force or climbing the corporate ladder -- proprietary knowledge revealing never-heard-of industry secrets about the job hiring process and job interview techniques.
"The positive unemployment news is an opportunity for job seekers to accelerate their job search processes by using relevant tools and techniques to win," said Bermont. "Just as the judges on American Idol are looking for the 'total package,' so too are today's employers. By being well informed, asking the right questions and presenting oneself as the ideal candidate, job seekers will land their ideal job. The Careers College helps job seekers become the total package to prospective employers."
Most job seekers are using tired and ineffective methods in their job searches that don't work in today's global economy. Companies are hiring and with the unique skills learned from The Careers College, people will gain confidence and have the know-how needed to get a new job, re-enter the job market or advance their careers.
The Careers College offers individual job search courses and comprehensive career transition programs to help job seekers in the areas of discovering their ideal jobs, developing résumés and cover letters that grab attention and get interviews, interviewing to win and negotiating for the best possible job offers. Along with the various courses and programs, students have access to a wide variety of resources including a budget generator to keep students financially on track while searching for a job as well as "mock" job interview tools, salary and business case templates, job interview checklists and optional résumé coaching.
"We're definitely seeing an increase in job opportunities in certain sectors," said Top-Sales-Jobs.com owner Cindy McGeever. "However, competition is tough. There are still hundreds, if not thousands, of people applying for the same position. The Careers College gives job seekers the strategic skills they need to stand out from the crowd and land the best job."
The Careers College serves job seekers around the globe that want to improve the quality of their lives through finding meaningful work. With enrollment, each job seeker has full access with the freedom to read, study, and work on exercises at his or her own pace. In all, with the multiple specialized courses and programs available, The Careers College offers the solution for individuals seeking employment or making a career transition in any economy.
