How to be the 1 out of 6 job-seekers who will land a job this year.
Dozens of top career experts share secrets at unique Career ReBoot Camp.
SAN FRANCISCO Sept 20 In the tightest job market in 70 years, estimates are that there are six job seekers for every available job. As a result, time (and benefits) are running out for many of the nation’s 15 million unemployed.
To help increasingly frustrated job-seekers more than 30 of the nation’s top career experts will meet at a first-of-its-
Richard Bolles, author of the bestselling career guide What Color Is Your Parachute? , will be the Keynote Speaker.
“The job market has changed dramatically in just the past two years,“ said Career ReBoot Camp Director Carol Ann Wentworth. “Anyone who hasn’t looked for a job in a while will be surprised at how complex the process has gotten. Now job seekers must understand new tools like social internet media, behavioral interviewing and personal branding. It’s not your father’s job market.”
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, job-seekers face 9.7% unemployment rate and longer job search.
• 15 million are unemployed---11 million are under-employed
• It takes nearly six months (25.1 weeks) on average to find a job
The Career ReBoot Camp provides the tools, resources and guidance job-seekers need to be competitive in the new world of work.
Participants receive a headshot photo by a professional photographer and a video of themselves in a mock interview. “The interview is the most important step in the hiring process yet less than 1% analyze their interviewing skills with a video,” said Wentworth. “It can be eye-opening.”
Speakers include Dr. Lynn Joseph, creator of The Job-Loss Recovery Program, honored by the U.S. Health and Human Services Department for its effectiveness. Nearly two-thirds (62%) of job-seekers found work after two months compared with 12% for a control group that did not follow the program.
Grammy-nominated musician Freddie Ravel, a keyboardist in Carlos Santana’s band, will present his innovative Tune Up to Success!, which uses music to empower successful. He will also perform at the event.
Cost to attend the Career ReBoot Camp is $249 (tax deductible). To register, go to www.CareerReBootCamp.com.
