Cost Effective On-Line Career Support - 03/2000

Career Advice Available To All

With an ever increasing number turning to the Internet for recruiting staff, it's about time that professional career management and outplacement companies kept up with technology and offered affordable comprehensive career services on-line. Career World have taken the initiative and designed a `Virtual Career Centre' providing comprehensive career services at a fraction of the cost of a traditional full career management programme.

The service is aimed at individuals who are not in the 35K category. The Virtual Career Centre is ideal for the wide range of people who may be unemployed, graduates, relocating or coming home from overseas. Also ex-military personnel, the underemployed, or those needing direction in their career will benefit from the site. Accessible 24 hours a day, the VCC is a convenient source of career support to anyone with a PC.

Individuals can complete an all encompassing career development programme. This includes a self assessment exercise to enable them to understand their transferable skills and develop a career objective to understand and know where to position themselves in the job market, how to source relevant opportunities and how to prepare for a job search.

An online assessment questionnnaire is provided to measure behaviour and suggest new career options. Results of the questionnaire are then discussed with one of Career World's experienced and qualified consultants.

The unique sophisticated CV software allows individuals to create an impressive achievement style CV at the touch of a button, and then place their profile on the Career World database to reach hundreds of recruiters to whom we regularly circulate our database.

The Vacancy Board provides access to over 400 leading recruiters and resource sites including access to hundreds of thousands of advertised and unadvertised vacancies - the most comprehensive job search resource on the Internet.

At 155.00 for three months, subscription to the Virtual Career Centre really is value for money and provides a cost effective means of accessing professional career support from a leading UK career management consultancy.
