New Job Search Engine for Executive and Management Jobs Launched on August 1, 2010

Posted: 17 Aug 2010 12:01 AM PDT

ManagementJobs.net, a job search engine geared toward finding executive and management jobs, launched on August 1, 2010 and draws advanced positions from over 50,000 employment websites.

(Vocus) August 17, 2010 -- Even though the economy is improving gradually, the national unemployment rate still hovers around 10 percent. What does this mean for the unemployed and those looking to change career paths? More competition exists for each opening, and a candidate needs to appear flawless to the hiring manager. As far as finding a job is concerned, the more opportunities, the better. Time is wasted hopping from one employment board to another, however, and the latest trend in finding a new career is job search engines. ManagementJobs.net, a job search engine geared toward manager and executive-level positions, launched on August 1, 2010 and provides job seekers with a new tool for finding all available openings in a given field.

While job search engines aren't new, ManagementJobs.net draws from more than 50,000 employment websites to build its listings. The user simply needs to enter a job title or keyword term and a location into the search boxes, and the results pull from relevant positions on general job boards, career-related websites, employers' websites, local employment listings, and anywhere else open job opportunities can be found.

The results reflect managerial and executive positions in any field. Someone currently in a mid-level role can browse through jobs that will advance his or her career – and nothing lower. From manager jobs and director positions to specific management jobs in various fields, ManagementJobs.net filters its selection to show only upper-level opportunities.

Business management jobs, such as being a chief executive officer or a chief operations officer, are highly sought after, and, because of this, many job boards geared toward executive positions are paid. Nevertheless, those advertised as hard-to-find and paid-only are listed on some free job boards, although checking every employment site for openings is an arduous task. ManagementJobs.net, which pulls its listings from such boards, advertises these positions for free and does not require a membership or credit card number to join.

The ability to search through thousands of employment boards and compile executive and upper-level positions makes ManagementJobs.net the first of its kind. A job search in the present involves more than going online and looking for openings; a job seeker, instead, needs to be revising his or her resume and tailoring a cover letter specifically to each position applied. Networking, additionally, plays a significant role when jobs are difficult to come by. As a job seeker needs to be finding openings, networking, and creating specific resumes and cover letters, a job search engine geared toward relevant career positions reduces the time spent browsing listings.

An unstable economy requires job seekers to develop a unique approach, branch out to multiple opportunities, and experiment with different career paths. ManagementJobs.net targets every career field possible. Retail, construction, property, and health care management jobs are highly sought after no matter the state of the market, and opportunities for manager, director, and department head roles can be found through ManagementJobs.net.

Job Search Warnings from the Experts

Posted: 16 Aug 2010 07:24 PM PDT

We've got a new warning about an old problem. If you're looking for a job, beware of advertisements that sound too good to be true.

One man's experience prompted a NewsChannel 9 investigation into an ad, the business behind the ad, and the consequences of getting involved with an unfamiliar job finder.     NewsChannel 9's Calvin Sneed uncovered what experts call "questionable tactics" that should raise a few eyebrows, if you're looking for work.

While looking for work, Jason Ellis saw an ad in the paper, that he "just kinda ran across, and it said "guaranteed jobs," he says.  He went to the office on Ringgold Road, and "they wanted $10 for a background check," he says. "We gave them that."

Five weeks later, no guaranteed job.

The Better Business Bureau says this ad and the job finding situation both have two red flags.

"Any organization that says they will assure or guarantee or promise a job as an end result.. that immediately throws up a red flag," says BBB president Jim Winsett.

Winsett also says, you should not have to pay money upfront for a background check, just to get a job.

"If there's any fee, any fee at all, I would probably walk away from that organization," he says.

Michael Brumlow is the owner of Tennessee Job Listings, the company who placed the advertisement, and we asked him if he "guaranteed" jobs for people who come in.

"We don't guarantee that we're going to actually get you a job with a business," he told us.  "The only thing we can do is find the businesses that are hiring and put you with them."

He says our investigation has now prompted him to remove the word "guarantee" from the ad. And what of concerns about the $10 fee?

"We're going to do everything we can to find you a job," Brumlow says, "we're going to do all the legwork. The $10 helps us pay for the background check."

But Winsett says, most employers will absorb the cost of a background check, and you still should not have to pay it up front to a job finder.

Jason is now doing odd jobs to keep his head above water. He says $10 is not a lot of money, unless you're looking for work.

"The five weeks I've wasted with him, I should have been out there begging for more jobs, and maybe even had one by now," he says.

As for the Better Business Bureau concerns, Brumlow met with them and discussed how to better handle his advertising. He also agreed to change some of the ways he promotes his business.

Meanwhile, another alternative in your job search, is the Southeast Tennessee Career Center.  It's located at the Eastgate Towne Center.

Job search easier with University Career Center

Posted: 17 Aug 2010 09:28 AM PDT

William Harper, a graduate student from Baxter Spring, looks over and discusses his resume with Sara Clayton, the Assistant Director of the career center, Thursday morning. The University Career center is opened from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday.

After years of countless tests, all-nighters and packets of Ramen noodles, many KU students will take the final step in their collegiate careers when they trade in their sweats for slacks and apply for a job in the real world. While just the thought of filling out a job resume is enough to scare students back to the undergraduate starting line, it is an apprehension that they need not experience alone. Located in room 110 of the Burge Union, the University Career Center offers students everything from resume and interview counseling to access to their network of professional employers.

"There are a couple of other offices on campus that work with specific majors," Ann Hartley, associate director of the University Career Center said. "But we are the one that works with career assistance and part-time job search for most everyone."

One way that the Career Center assists students is through resume counseling. Students who submit their resume can receive tips for how to improve it before it is sent out to potential employers.

"We typically look for anything that doesn't follow the norm," Tanvi Nimkar, a sophomore from Lawrence and Career Center employee said. "We have an official guide that we use to look for general formatting mistakes like not putting your work history in chronological order."

Other services provided by the Career Center are mock, group interviews. Adam Smith, a junior from Kansas City, Kan, participated in one such interview during his search to find an internship.

"We were each asked a question and then went around and critiqued one another," Smith said. "They really tried to guide it toward our major."

For those individuals unable to make it into their office, the Career Center brings their knowledge and opportunities to students in the form of job, major and volunteer fairs held throughout the year in the Kansas Union.

"It was just a happy mistake that I ran into someone from the World Company at the Career Fair," Smith said. "It was the first time I was heavily using resources and I ended up with a summer internship at Channel 6 News."

Hartley emphasizes the importance of these career fairs, noting that some companies in attendance do not advertise their open positions.

"A lot of times employers are looking specifically to hire someone right out of college," Hartley said. "They'll work with a university to contact students and may or may not post that position on their website."

Students looking to utilize the Career Center can make an appointment on its' website at www.kucareerhawk.com or can attend the part-time job fair in the Kansas Union on August 18 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.

"It's not too early to start looking for full-time or part-time jobs your freshman year," Hartley said. "The earlier you get started, the more opportunities you'll have."
