Advanced Career Technologies Survey: 96% of Failed Job Seekers Blame Lack of Access to Openings

New York, NY ��� "Our survey of 2500 people in the market for jobs at $50,000+ for more than a year, showed they blamed four search issues and 13 liabilities for their lack of success. At the top, at 96%, is lack of access to enough of the right openings." Best selling author Robert J. Gerberg said the details are in his latest book, The Professional Job Changing System, available hardcover in bookstores nationwide. "This confirms the experience of our firms over the years, in good times and bad. The major problem people point to is lack of openings. Solving that was one of the main purposes of this book."

"The first section of the book instructs people in detail how to prepare ��� creating better resumes and letters, having clear goals, knowing industry options, figuring out ways to neutralize liabilities, knowing transferable skills so crucial to switching industries, and setting up a clear action plan that is realistic and easy to follow. Other sections share proven principles for gaining a competitive edge in interviews, building your will to succeed, maintaining momentum, handling unemployment and more."

"But it is the 2nd section that most readers will find especially interesting. It tells them how to uncover more openings suitable for them. In the published market they learn how to identify and answer more ads, how and why they need to contact more recruiters, pay attention to employers sites, less well known job boards and more."

"Most don't know that between $50,000 and $100,000, 50% of their opportunities will be in the unpublished market, where there is less competition. Here readers get valuable insights about more powerful networking, precisely what's required if they want to generate interested responses from employers who don't have advertised openings, contacting recruiters who do not publish their openings, and how to spot and act on selected news items that signal the likelihood of an emerging job that might be suitable for them. Instead of passively restricting themselves to the parts of the market where employers take all the initiative, the book shows them how gain access to the other half of the market with an active approach where they take the initiative."
