Charitable Career Community Designed To Put Americans Back To Work
Online, March 2, 2010 (Newswire.com) - JobRadioUSA is a charitable career community that offers "how to" executive job search advice for free.
The site provides professional job search training with the goal of helping millions of job seekers land their next opportunities. This highly acclaimed training is broken down into two main categories: blog posts and weekly Career Factory talk shows. The blog posts provide how to job search strategies from the trenches that have helped several job seekers land jobs during the Great Recession. The Career Factory online talk radio shows feature a career expert every Tuesday night at 9PM EST who shares additional job search strategies. By using these two free job search resources, job seekers can create their own job market by focusing on the real challenges of the job search process.
Despite hiring freezes and net monthly job losses due to the recent economic downturn, the Career Catalyst is convinced that there is no better time to take action than right now. Although several companies are not actively adding additional headcount, other companies (feeling the pinch from a shortage of top talent) are actively recruiting. With the inevitable passage of the Job Bills, it is vital that job seekers use JobRadioUSA on a consistent basis to position themselves as ideal candidates for potential employers.
Employers are seeking potential hires who are enthusiastic and confident regarding their abilities to produce excellent results. With the number of long-term unemployed at its highest rate since 1948, it can be difficult for job seekers to maintain a positive mental attitude. Likewise, JobRadioUSA contains several blogs posts and podcasts that provide step-by-step strategies job seekers can use to keep hope alive and stay positive.
The blogs posts also help prevent job seekers from making the common mistake of relying solely on advertised or online job postings. Instead job seekers are taught how to network using their current contacts and LinkedIn and Twitter to identify company advocates. By using these same strategies, job seekers are also able to successfully tap into the hidden job market; by locating suitable opportunities that are not advertised.
Job seekers are also taught how to create winning resumes with quantifiable accomplishments and how to ace interviews including phone screens. Finally jobs seekers learn how to creatively demonstrate their expertise both online and offline to distinguish themselves from the competition.
Every Tuesday night at 9PM EST, the Career Factory talk shows take place on BlogTalkRadio. Job seekers are provided the opportunity to acquire additional job search training from topnotch career experts. They also have the opportunity to seek potential solutions to their most pressing issues by asking questions during the listeners Q&A sessions. Finally, job seekers are able to expand or grow their networks by connecting with these career experts afterwards.
The Career Factory live talk radio shows are the only career shows that are featured regularly as Today's Picks on BlogTalkRadio; sixteen of the first thirty-six shows have been Featured as Today's Picks. Some of the most notable career experts have been CEOs of the top global retained executive search firms such as Heidrick and Struggles and DHR International. Others include bestselling authors such as Martin Yate, Cynthia Shapiro, Ford Myers, and Harrison Monarth and outplacement firm executives such as Orville Pierson.

The Career Catalyst believes the wisdom of a crowd depends on a large number of active job seekers and career experts sharing what have worked and not worked for job seekers. The more individuals who participate, the more knowledge and best practices job seekers can acquire. Likewise, feel free to share these free resources with job seekers and encourage them to pay it forward by doing the same.
