Blog Post: (Teleclass) How Recruiters Can Accelerate Your Job Search

Futures in Motion, Inc. will conduct a teleclass on Monday, May 18, 2009, 12noon PST on how to work with a recruiter.

Long Beach, CA (PRWeb) May 6, 2009 – Certified career coach Markell Steele offers a teleclass for job seekers interested in learning how to work with recruiters.  The class will feature an interview with Gary Capone, owner of the executive recruiting firm Palladian International and author of Palladian’s career advice blog.

Job seekers are frustrated and overwhelmed. Many are looking for a job for the first time in years and it’s taking a lot longer than expected to find a job. People do what they know, so job seekers are spending hours scouring online job posting sites in the hopes that their next job opportunity will appear. It’s like looking for a needle in a haystack.

What can job seekers do to increase their chances of finding a decent job and standing out among the intense competition?

They need to understand today’s job market and create a good plan for connecting to job opportunities. They need to have a good resume and the ability to promote their accomplishments and abilities effectively.

But, there is a secret weapon that can make a big difference- recruiters and headhunters.

How can working with a recruiter accelerate a job search?

I plan to find out on May 18th when I interview my colleague Gary Capone of Palladian International, Inc. a Virginia based executive recruiting firm. Recruiters and staffing agencies can be an important resource in your job search.  Unfortunately, most job seekers don’t understand what they need to do to be effective and what they should expect from a recruiter. 

I’m going to ask all the questions you want to know the answers to, so you can partner with recruiters and shorten your job search time.

You’ll have a chance to ask questions in advance and during the call.
