Advanced Career Technologies Study: 50% of Job Seekers at $50,000+ Never Dis-tribute Over 100 Resumes
New York, NY — "The puzzling part is not the percentage, but why," says Robert J. Gerberg, best selling author. "Our study didn't address the reasons, but we suspect it's a combination of fear, inertia and ignorance. My new book, The Professional Job Changing System, helps people understand the market today and get past those obstacles."
"People need to know that fewer than 3% of those who distribute only a small number of resumes find a new job, and they are usually triple A+ performers or well connected. The facts are that the job market is more competitive than ever, and with 30 million resumes in circulation it's difficult to get noticed by decision makers. The answer? You need to make a lot of contacts, carefully targeted, with superior materials."
"You've got to get to the right recruiters, and not just a few. The chances of one recruiter having a job right for you at the moment you contact them is small. And you need to answer all the ads suitable for you, which means knowing how to find and answer them in whatever time you have available. But going beyond that, since 50% of jobs are in the $50,000 to$100,000 range are unpublished, contacting decision makers in the right employers and identifying signals of emerging jobs, where competition is less, are both becoming essential."
"But most people can't identify enough contacts, leads and openings, they don't know how or have the time to make contact if they did, so they reach only 2% to 5% of their total mar-ket. It's simply not enough. This book gives them the knowledge they need and specifies the action steps they have to take, to be successful in all 8 segments of the job market, both published and unpublished. It also gives them easy-to-understand guidelines for writing a resume that gets noticed and pre-sells them, and six basic rules for winning offers in competitive interviews. We packed into this fast-moving, colorful book everything any job seeker needs to be successful, even in today's market. People can easily get it in hard cover at bookstores nationwide."
