Helping College Students Find Jobs

From ERE Net posted by Alan Fitzpatrick on Feb. 1, 2010

It is no surprise to anyone that the high unemployment rate in the
U.S. has made it very difficult for talented, experienced people to
find jobs. What is not discussed as frequently is how difficult it
is for college seniors, and recent college graduates to find jobs.
According to a CNN
article, the projection for 2010 is hiring of grads
with any degree will decline by 2% compared to 2009. In this tough
environment we have some good news and hope for college students and
graduates.

There is a new resource designed to help both the college graduate
and the employer. 1stGiG.com
is the first career service of its kind specifically designed to
connect college undergraduates and recent college graduates and the
companies that value their skills. There are no jobs posted, but
there are countless opportunities for internships and employment.

Here's how it works:

• 
  

  A precision matching matrix
  identifies compatible profiles between young career-bound talent and
  potential employers
  

  
  


• 
  

  When the talent accepts the match,
  an introduction is made with the prospective company
  

  
  


• 
  

  Over time, both parties make
  multiple connections, establish a relationship and create
  "opportunity pools" based on their mutual interest
  

  
  


• 
  

  When the right opportunity arises, the parties are prepared
  to move forward in the hiring process - eliminating the
  time-consuming process that has been the status quo.
  

  
  

1stGiG.com sources, screens, and presents the graduate with
internship and/or career opportunities that meet their specific
interests and requirements. Between 70 and 80% of jobs are never
advertised. 1stGiG.com expands the opportunity network to put the
college graduate on the radar of companies and industries that
typically wait for job seekers to come to them, not the other way
around. It's a richer, longer-term approach to career development
designed to make the "first gig" a better experience for everyone
involved.

1stGiG.com has partnered with Vonei
to add a video
interviewing service to their site, allowing employers
and college graduates to quickly and easily conduct video interviews
over the Internet from their computer. In today's economic reality,
employers don't have the time and money to visit as many campuses as
they would like. Video interviewing allows the employer to recruit
from anywhere without travel. Video Interviewing service starts
as low as $99/year, so it is an extremely cost effective method
to link employers and college graduates.

Now is a perfect time to consider using
these innovative services. Help graduates start their career and
begin benefiting from what only 1stGiG.com offers the early career
professional!
