| The Job Search - 15 Professionals Land Jobs in one Week Posted: 20 Feb 2011 12:41 PM PST 02.20.2011– In March of last year, Emprove Performance Group, LLC, a Seattle-based, corporate learning and career coaching platform, set out on a mission to give back to the professional community with the establishment and launch of Career Search Strategies 2.0 (CSS 2.0), a free job search strategy program offered weekly via the web, along with special live sessions in metropolitan areas. The mission was simple: to offer this program to further promote their very unique brand, but to also give back to the professional community by assisting displaced professionals get back to work! To date, the program has assisted close to 1000 professionals successfully land jobs through this unique and comprehensive program. Last week was almost a record week for Emprove, where 15 of their members successfully gained employment! All 15 of these individuals attribute their success to the unique and strategies and marketing/branding concepts offered through Emprove's program. Career Search Strategies 2.0 is a seminar/webinar program that offers job seekers cutting-edge training, tools and resources related to personal branding and social media strategies to gain a competitive advantage over the vast pool of highly-qualified candidates in today's highly-competitive job market. The program offers practical training on how to develop a unique personal brand, a comprehensive professional career marketing website and how to maximize time and effectiveness when using social networking platforms like Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter and others. Furthermore, the program shows participants how to build and design powerful interviewing tools, presentations and other unique marketing pieces to ensure success in each and every stage of the job search/hiring process. The program also offers weekly group Q&A and coaching sessions along with additional webinar programs and events on topics related to resume writing, interviewing skills, candidate video introductions and more. Once participants go through the program, VIP access to a comprehensive Resource/Multimedia Training Library and other tools are offered to augment and guide members through each step of the process. In addition to the training and support program, Emprove also maintains one of the fastest-growing professional job seeker groups on LinkedIn, Career Search Strategies 2.0. Whether one has attended the program or not, any and all job seekers are welcome to attend this phenomenal support and strategy group. With close to 600 members, participants offer support, leads and success stories to other members. "Many have found this group to be of tremendous support during a very difficult time to overcome the stress and depressive nature of the job search and being unemployed," says Dieter Hertling, Emprove's co-founder and CEO. "People refer to it as the CSS Family, and are out in the group discussions daily, if not hourly." With close to 1000 professionals landing jobs as a result of the Emprove mission, Emprove is looking to expand the program even further by offering regularly-scheduled live sessions in major metro areas starting in January of 2011. Their first session of the year was in Seattle, Washington and had standing room only. "Job search programs these days are a dime a dozen," says Hertling, "It saddens me to see so many people/companies taking advantage of desperate job seekers out there. We are humbled and honored to be able to make such a huge impact on peoples' lives. We don't promise a magic pill or promise the world to anyone. If our clients are willing to embrace our tools and work harder than they did, even when they had a job, they will achieve their desired level of success. It's our little way of helping put this nation back together, one job, one resume, one person, at a time."

| Job search tips for getting (back) to work Posted: 20 Feb 2011 05:48 AM PST February 20, 2011 (CHICAGO) -- Although some companies are hiring now, unemployment is still high in the Chicago area and the United States. Sal DiFranco with DHR International visited the ABC7 studio to provide tips to help you find a job. Also, the Illinois Department of Employment Security offers great resources. Tips:1. Know the company you are applying to, and tailor your resume to show what you can do to improve their bottom-line. 2. If you are applying for a sales job, cite numbers/ percentages of revenue that you brought in at past companies. 3. If you are applying for an account managing job, cite specific positive relationships you made happen in past work. 4. If you are applying for a technical job, cite increased efficiency/productivity that you established in your former work place. 5. Employers/recruiters need your resume information in an easy-to-read-and-understand format. Avoid lengthy paragraphs, and stick to bullet points or succinct listed accomplishments. 6. Don't share the whole story, just the most important information, which is your accomplishment or goal achieved for your former employer. Then employers will be encouraged to invite you in for an interview to hear your strategy for accomplishment. 7. Resumes should not be written margin to margin. Leave space on the side so whoever is reading your resume can take notes on your interview. They will be able to remember you more easily from a group of applicants. 8. Most importantly, state what you can do for the business, not what you have personally done for yourself.
