If you’re like me, you’ve been reading the news over the past months about the economic slowdown and how college grads are facing lower salaries and tighter job markets. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, more students are heading to college than ever before. The number of college graduates is rising and that means fiercer competition in a tougher labor market. If you want a great job in your field with a good starting salary, you better work at it smarter than everyone else. One of the newest and innovative ways to do this is through electronic job fairs.
I spoke with Jason Vrane, Chief Marketing Officer of EJobFairs.net last week and had the chance to see first hand how E-Job Fairs can be a valuable source for solid employment opportunities. Ejobfairs.net minimizes the hassle of traditional career fairs by allowing employers to search and reach out to specific candidates and speak with them. “It’s a great time saver because you are engaged primarily with people who see potential value in you as an employee for their firm,” Vrane said. The site, which is currently working on a second round of funding, plans to add many more tools for both job seekers and employers to maximize the experience and create even more productivity. You can visit their site at www.ejobfairs.net to see a demo and view upcoming e-fairs.
There’s an old adage that sales is a contact sport - the more people you contact, the better your sales will be. Translated for jobs, the more exposure and networking you do will ultimately increase your odds of finding the right career move for you. What I like about Ejobfairs is that it leverages the technology to create more effective exposure for everyone.
