SECRETS OF A JOB SEARCH STRATEGIST

Is hunting for a job online becoming frustrating? Do you feel like you will never find the perfect career you are looking for? Sometimes a little bit of insider knowledge can make all the difference between success and failure.

Jim Stroud has been a successful corporate recruiter for many years and knows what it takes to get hired for well paying executive level positions.

In his online class "SECRETS OF A JOB SEARCH STRATEGIST" here are some of the things you will learn:

"How To Be Found Online"

When you submit your resume to a career website, you expect recruiters to read it or at least have access to it. Right? Are you aware that these same career websites charge recruiters to read the resumes posted on their website? Recruiters who work for small search firms or in business for themselves, cannot always afford such charges so they rely on other resources to find qualified people. This lesson will show you how to make your resume more accessible to recruiters who do not use the career websites where your resume is posted..

"Job Hunting Is A Team Sport"

A recent U.S. Department of Labor survey revealed that at least 50% of job positions were filled directly or indirectly as a result of networking! Unfortunately, many people fail to produce results from networking because they approach the wrong people and don't know the right questions to ask. This lesson will teach you how to identify people with whom to network and the appropriate questions to ask them.

"Prospecting The Hidden Job Market"

Imagine a situation where a job is publicized online at 9:00 a.m., you receive notification about the job at 9:01 a.m. and as a result, you submit your resume at 9:02 a.m. Now consider a scenario where you contact entrepreneurs and company decision makers before they finalize a hiring strategy. The best place to be in line for a job is "first." This lesson will teach you how to pursue job opportunities before and as they are publicized.
