Q.

I am working with headhunters and it doesn’t cost me a dime, why would I pay a firm like JobSearch Solutions to help me manage my job hunt?

A. 

There is an old saying that is rarely inaccurate…"you get what you pay for."  Reality – Headhunters are NOT working for you, they are working for themselves. And rightfully so because they work on commission and don’t make a cent until they place you. In fact when they market you and get a company who is interested in talking to you, guess what they do to increase their odds of filling the opening?…They load their client up with other candidates just like you. If you pay JobSearch Solutions or any firm like ours, WE ARE WORKING FOR YOU and we have YOUR best interest in mind with our approach.

Q.

You don’t offer any guarantees, why?

A.

There isn’t a firm or individual that can guarantee you will find a job, there are too many intangibles involved for anybody to make that claim. Like sales (and you are a sales person selling yourself when you are on the job market) it is a numbers game. If you follow our advice and methods and maintain the recommended volume, you will increase your contact activity. By increasing your contact activity, you will in turn increase your odds of getting interviews and obviously increasing interviews betters your chances for job offers. One very critical goal in our methods is teaching you how to generate more activity than before you engaged our services. 

Q.

My company already provided me with Outplacement services, what more can I learn? 

A.

If what you learned through Outplacement is working, that’s great and you may not need further help. However, if you are not satisfied with the results, there may still be more to learn.  Most outplacement firms are developed to support large volumes of displaced workers, they use programs that can move people through the process quickly. The guidance they provide only covers the basics and often lacks one-on-one personal interaction.

Q.

I’ve never had to pay anybody to help me find a job, what is the advantages?

A.

Unless you have been living in a cave the past few years I’m sure you are well aware we've seen one of the worst economic downturns since the great depression. The tide has turned for job seekers and it's now a sellers market (seller being the companies). As we like to say - Not only is it not your father's job search...it's not even your older siblings. Times have changed and so have the tools and the rules. There’s an abundance of people out of work, companies are inundated with candidates and a single job posting online can generate a response of over 400 applicants. If you are even lucky enough to get an interview, you can be up against 10 other extremely qualified people. Traditional and conventional job search methods don’t work today.  You need to take creative “out of the box” measures to separate yourself from the masses.  JobSearch Solutions can help.

Q.

I’ve been out of work for a while, how can I justify the cost?

A.

Did you know that any money you spend related to a job search is tax deductible? Here are some other things to think about…

a. If you retain our services through to the “Negotiating” phase of your job search, we will be coaching you on how to put as much money in your pocket as possible.  In most cases, we help people get more than they expected and as a result, our service fees pay for themselves. 

b. If all else fails, we can coach you on how to position our fees to be paid by the company that hires you.

c. Bottom Line - The small price you pay today is an investment in lessons you'll use your entire career.  With the latest findings that most people will now change jobs on average every 3-5 years, these lessons are invaluable and will serve you well.
