FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
Job Seekers Left Behind Despite Good Economic News
Phoenix, Arizona, 10/30/2009 – The latest reports are showing the economy to be rebounding from one of the most severe recessions in decades. While there are signs of recovery, the jobless rate still hovers just below 10% with predictions that it will hit 10.5% in 2010.
It’s great news that signs of recovery include stronger corporate earnings and a stock market that has regained most of its lost ground from almost a year of downward spirals.
But if people can’t find jobs, what impact will this have on the next 6 to 18 months? The unemployment rate is predicted to stay around 10% or more for most of 2010.
For job seekers, this means conducting more networking activities. It also means seeking out more effective tips and information to get an edge in today’s intractable market.
Job seekers will investigate more self-help resources like the Job Search Guy™ (www.jobsearchguy.com) to tap into free information to help them discover unadvertised jobs. Knowing how to find these desired job openings is an essential skill in this challenging job market.

“To be competitive today, job hunters absolutely must have an effective resume that can sell them in 20 seconds or less, since more resumes than ever are now flooding the marketplace these days”, said Turner.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
With Paycheck 911, the Job Search Guy Helps Job Hunters Win Despite the Biggest Unemployment Increase in 22 Years
Authors Tell Job Seekers to Answer, “What’s in It for the Employer?”
PHOENIX, AZ–(Marketwire – June 24, 2008) – With 8.5 million people looking for work in rough economic times, how do you successfully land a job today? A new book called Paycheck 911 helps answer that question.
The book, written by job search experts and former technology recruiters Joe Turner and Sue Swenson, offers updated advice on how job seekers can effectively package and market themselves in this highly challenging economy.
“We saw the dark economic clouds on the horizon months ago, and they served as the catalyst for Paycheck 911,” said Turner, whose blog features job search and interviewing tips. “We’re taking job hunters far beyond traditional techniques to help restore their lost paychecks.”
According to Turner, the emotionally charged environment of high jobless rates coupled with a declining economy loads even more stress onto job hunters. June reports from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics indicate 8.5 million Americans are unemployed and seeking work. May was the fifth straight month of job losses in the United States.
“As this trend continues, pressure is mounting to have the perfect résumé and to excel at job interviewing,” Turner said. “The job hunter feels compelled to grab the first offer received. We strive to reduce stress and to focus the job hunter’s energy on winning strategies based on our years of experience as recruiters.”
Swenson believes the job hunter’s mental fitness is just as important as a well-written résumé and personal marketing skills.
“A winning attitude, understanding how to package and market yourself, and knowing how to identify hidden jobs, are all critical to a successful and satisfying job search,” Swenson said.
Paycheck 911 also offers chapters dealing with the emotional and spiritual aspects of the job search. Other topics covered in the book include:
- Identifying your personal brand (your Unique Selling Proposition)
- The only five “must-answer” interview questions
- The four marketing elements your résumé must have
- Researching the hidden job market
