January 08, 2009 - Premier Writing Solutions announced the launch of FastTrack Career Transition Mastermind, an eight-week, virtual job search coaching program for executives seeking new career opportunities.
Through close-knit, interactive weekly sessions, participating members are guided through the elements of an executive job search campaign and given the opportunity to monitor their success through follow up Q&A calls. In addition, members are encouraged to network and collaborate with like-minded professionals through a private online forum to avoid feeling isolated during the job search process.
FastTrack Career Transition Mastermind was specially designed to address the unique needs of executives who have not conducted a job search in a long time or those who have been having dismal results. Members of this unique program will learn the how’s and what’s of effective job hunting – from assessing individual strengths and identifying target companies to creating a job search campaign that fit their career background and employment situation. All of this comes with a dedicated career coach to offer constructive feedback, suggestions, and guidance along the way.
“I often find that old job search mindsets are hard to break,” stated Abby Locke, executive career marketing strategist and creator of the FastTrack program. “Too many well-meaning executive candidates equate a targeted job search campaign with hours spent in front of a computer surfing Internet sites and posting resumes. In the end, it only leads to frustration, disillusion, and often bouts of depression because the success rate is only between 1-3%”
Locke says that job seekers need to recognize that 85% of high-paying job opportunities will never be advertised and advanced technology systems only allow thousands of people across the country to compete for the same limited pool of posted positions. Being successful in an executive job search requires moving beyond the Internet, stretching the boundaries, and focusing more efforts on networking and relationship building to get to unadvertised or “hidden” job opportunities.
The FastTrack program’s goals are to energize and motivate executives to take a more proactive approach and to embrace new job search mindsets and habits that will benefit them in long-term career management. Some of the additional program perks include 24/7 access to growing vault of career management and job search resources, web-based recordings of each session, and unlimited email support.
