Comeback Mom Kicks-off Campaign To Help Career Seekers Conquer The Job Crisis --August 21st

May 31, 2009 - PRLog -- LANSDOWNE, PA -- As concern to find employment in the dismal job market
continues to grow nationwide, one stay-at-home-mom is organizing an event to help jobseekers land interviews in a fast, fun and easy way.

After a 7-year 'crisis-ridden' career break from the workforce, 'comeback mom' Barbara Bamba, a former job readiness trainer and job developer for Temple University's Center for Social Policy ... kick-starts The Great American Comeback Campaign.

On Friday, August 21st, 2009, Barbara will kick-off her new workforce reentry campaign with
The Job Auction Expo and the “Kick-Start Your Comeback” Speaking Tour in Philadelphia, at the Pennsylvania Convention Center, 1101 Arch Street, in Room 201, as part of a multi city tour to 10 US cities with high unemployment rates: Philadelphia, Atlanta, Chicago, New York, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, Tampa, Providence, Charlotte and Detroit.

The Job Auction Expo is a NEW 'Auction-Style' Recruitment Event and job board that allow
employers to post jobs up for bid and qualified jobseekers to bid on jobs by 'pitching' their employable assets to recruiters and hiring managers for the chance to win interviews. The Philadelphia event will host 15 employers and admit 378 qualified jobseekers to 'pitch' for jobs. Admission is FREE for qualified jobseekers. Jobseekers can review and pre-qualify for job auction jobs on Wednesday July 1st. when The Job Auction Job Board opens @: www.JobAuctionExpo.com.

Studies show that the job search can be a long and daunting process that can take the average jobseeker weeks or even months to land an interview.

“What I'm doing, Bamba says, is adding a bid of fun and excitement to the job search
process while helping jobseekers line-up interviews in a fast, fun, and easy way.”

The “Kick-Start Your Comeback” Speaking Tour features Founder & Chief Organizer, Barbara Bamba, delivering her 'Crisis Conquering Keynote' for (5) organizations in each host city to help local career seekers 'kick-start' their comeback' ... to conquer their job crisis!

Barbara talks about her personal comeback journey to the workforce, after a 7-year career
break that included a failed marriage due to her refusal to accept a polygamous arrangement and her home threatening foreclosure several times, and how she, a stay at home mother of 4, on food stamps, with no income and no degree, pulled herself up, dusted herself off and turned a major marriage crisis into an American Dream Career.

Barbara shares her personal challenges, career comeback strategies and the unconquerable mindset she maintained throughout her crisis to inspire confidence and motivate job seekers to let go of loss, embrace change, stop dreaming about being,
and start being about their dreams ...Again!

Barbara's next Job Auction Expo is in Atlanta, GA set for Friday, October 23rd at The Cobb Galleria and she's already engaged in talks with The Chicago Urban League about hosting a Youth Job Auction Expo for at-risk youth in the Spring of 2010.
