    3. The Career Search
    4. Objective – Best Case Scenario Program Manager Job Seeker The job seeker must be in communication with the program manager, who makes the decision to bring additional help on board. This is still the mode of operation for small businesses.
    5. The HR Barrier Job Seeker In most companies larger than 10 people, the program manager (i.e., the “hiring manager”) is not readily visible to the job seeker. An HR department screens candidates to reduce the program manager’s effort in finding a suitable candidate. Human Resources Program Manager
    6. Quality or Perception Driver To penetrate the screening process, job seekers often use coaches and professional writers so that their cover letters and resumes have the highest probability for getting through to the program manager.

    7. “ Facilitators” Enter the Process Career centers and more often recruiting agencies (“head hunters”) had and still have a pivotal role for many job seekers, who may find positions relatively quickly but often for lost relocation allowances, lower salaries, other lost benefits.

    8. More “Facilitators” With the information age came other methods in an attempt to better reach the program manager – the most popular are job search sites. * Other websites/services offer to mass email your resume to thousands of employers; this can be considered spamming.

    9. Facilitator or Information Barrier? This process may become disappointing when job seekers discover that recruiting agencies also advertise on job search sites, some posing as employers.

    10. Every time another entity effectively enters between the job seeker and program manager, this comes with the added expense of lost wages or other benefits.

    11. Wouldn’t it be great to take a more direct route? And who will say that it is not possible? Why? Human Resources Program Manager Resume Reviewers Job Seeker Career Advisors Recruiters Career Centers Job Search Sites Other Bulk Distribution Recruiters Etc… An Aging System With Hidden Costs
    12. Re-Personalizing the Job Search Job Seeker It is possible to take a direct route. The resume still needs to follow “official” routes, but the job seeker’s chances increase significantly. Human Resources Program Manager resume
    13. Guidelines
    14. Professionally-Written Resumes
      • Are not enough to get the job.
      • Anything less makes the applicant uncompetitive in a tough market.
      • Must be accompanied by a professionally-written cover letter.
    15. Professionally-Written Resumes
      • Still need frequent revision to customize for specific companies or emerging trends.
    16. Professional Coaching
      • Typical costs range from $1K to $5K but in some cases much more.
      • Golden Rule for Screening Coaches :
      • No professional coach should profit when the career seeker does not benefit.
