Millions of Jobs Getting Cut at an Alarming Rate; Job Seekers Seek a Proactive Way to Find Jobs
Job cuts by US employers swelled enormously last month, backed by declines at various financial firms, retailers, and other types of companies, due to severe economic recession. Millions of professionals have lost their jobs as more and more employers seek to cutback hiring and spending.
PASADENA, CA, February 13, 2009 /Employment - Careers PR News/ -- In this scenario, the top targeted mailing service in the US, Employment Authority, offers to help job seekers with a proactive job-search approach.
It has been cited by many employment experts that rather than traditional job search, the best way to search for new jobs is through proactive resume distribution to selective employers. This process is said to be up to 20 times more effective than just submitting self-created resumes to cluttered and packed job boards. Additionally, these job boards charge large fees from various companies for posting their jobs which makes employers wary of posting jobs.
According to National Association of Law Placement, ''The most common means of obtaining a job was a letter or other ''self-initiated contact'' with the employer.'' It is also a well-known fact that very few employers effectively advertise positions. About 85% of the jobs are unadvertised, and hence most headhunters and job posting boards have limited number of positions. Moreover, more than 3.6 million jobs have been lost in US since recession began in December 2007, and last month's job cuts were reported to be the worst since 1974.
''There are tens of thousands of job boards and websites available on the Internet which makes it impossible for job seekers to search for their niche jobs,'' says A. Harrison Barnes, CEO and Founder of Employment Authority. ''By partnering with Employment Authority, one can drastically increase the chances of getting hired. We have thousands of employer contacts in our database, which puts job seekers in control of their job search.''
Another problem faced by the average job seeker is that they become confused as to the next course of action to be taken after they get their prospective employers' list. Employment Authority has more job search tools that come into play here. Every registered user of Employment Authority gets a personalized resume created by the best and the most professional resume writers in the industry.
Barnes says, ''By preparing polished resumes, providing the tools to conduct targeted mailings, as well as giving informed counsel and support, we match our clients' qualifications and career goals to companies that can offer them the jobs they've been looking for.''
