New Tools Needed for Job Search 2.0

While the Web has evolved to what is commonly referred to as ìWeb 2.0,î the online professional job-search process for executives has not kept pace. Most professionals believe that a job search consists of simply writing a resume, posting it on a job board, and pushing it out to a group of recruiters. ìTen years ago, the job seekerís first impression was made with a resume. Today it might be a Linkedin profile, a blog comment, a Facebook connection, or the result of a search string pulling up a recent comment from the industry press,î says RD Whitney, CEO of the online recruiting magazine Onrec.com US. ìThe successful job seeker 2.0 strategy for professionals has become a very sophisticated brand-building process that requires the right tools, knowledge, and connections.î

To help move executive job search to this 2.0 level, executive career experts Wendy Enelow and Louise Kursmark have created a unique new ìtoolkitî that gives professionals the tools they need to develop powerful executive resumes, strengthen their personal brands, and accelerate their job search success. Enelow notes that ìexecutives must be up to date to take advantage of the rapidly changing trends in todayís market. The techniques that companies are using to identify top-performing candidates dictate that every savvy job seeker be making an active shift to job search 2.0 to retain their competitive market position.î

The ìEnelow-Kursmark Executive Resume Toolkitî is the first fully downloadable and interactive job search program designed specifically for senior-management and executive candidates in career transition. The Toolkit includes 6 distinct components ñ an executive resume writing guidebook, resume sample gallery, online resource guide, worksheets, tip sheets, and two audio files with expert career management advice.

ìWith the Toolkit, executive job seekers can now manage their entire resume development, writing, formatting, design, and distribution process with 2.0 efficiency,î comments Louise Kursmark. ìThey will gain a solid advantage managing their job searches and can more quickly ëgo to marketí with their resumes and other job-search documents.î

The Toolkit was developed by Wendy Enelow and Louise Kursmark, each of whom has more than 25 yearsí experience as an executive resume writer and career coach. Wendy and Louise have written more than 40 books on job search, resume writing, cover letter writing, interviewing, recession-proofing careers, and other related topics. Both are professional speakers and have presented at conferences, workshops, and seminars nationwide. Most recently, Wendy was featured in the Wall Street Journal, Time Magazine, and New York Times, and Louise delivered well-received webinars and teleseminars for leading executive career sites ExecuNet, Bluesteps, and Kennedy Information.
