According to executive career placement specialist, David Werner, there has been a significant increase in responses from businesses looking to fill senior level positions.  The responses to his company’s career marketing efforts have led to more of his clients having phone interviews, conference calls and face-to-face meetings in the last four weeks than in the previous three months. 

Werner sees this as a sign of optimism amid growing fears over a troubled economy.  “Granted we are a small niche marketing company (David Werner International works with Presidents and Vice Presidents only), it is clear to see that things are slowly getting better, businesses are gaining more confidence, and they are looking to take advantage of the extraordinary talent currently available,” says Werner. 

During the past four weeks, Werner says he has received many phone calls from top businesses interested in interviewing his clients for senior level positions.  The phone calls are the result of targeted and tailored career marketing campaigns created and executed by David on behalf of his clientele.  Werner says, “These positive developments are most encouraging.”

Today’s job seekers are now competing with technologically advanced competitors who can exploit the power of the internet to create a web enabled playing field.  Candidates who can use technology to show case their potential will have a competitive edge over the rest.  Getting noticed in today’s market shuffle is becoming increasingly more difficult.  Utilizing online professional portfolios is one way David Werner International helps their candidates stand out from the rest.

Employers need to ‘build their own brand’ to market their experience and value to a potential hiring company.  The internet allows candidates to build personal websites and display these virtual portfolios which tell the story in a captivating and clear presentation, something words typed on a paper cannot. 

The online portfolio service offered by David Werner International is a virtual presentation of an elaborate resume which utilizes graphs and charts to show a candidate’s success and achievements.  The system helps prospective employers visualize the value a candidate can bring to their firm. 

An example of an online portfolio can be seen at  http://www.webportfolios.net/lab/cxo/

The web portfolio has four key benefits for job seekers.

1. The web based portfolio uses proven and targeted marketing techniques to present a compelling business case for an individual’s candidacy to potential employers.

2. Charts and graphs create virtual and multi-dimensional representations of talent and success stories, visually demonstrating a candidate’s value to hiring firms.

3. Hiring firms with this information at their fingertips can quickly engage in meaningful and results oriented conversations which can rapidly move the candidate ahead in the interview process.

4. The portfolio then serves as a permanent career asset for improving an online business profile and networking with other executives. 

The David Werner multi -media system allows candidates to showcase career strength and accelerate results in the market place.  The online portfolio technique reduces search time by employers thus speeding up the communication process between candidates and potential employers.

In a hostile job market where layoffs are being announced by the thousands,  executive employment experts, David Werner International, are extending a hand to executives who suddenly find themselves in transition.  Company President, David Werner, offered these sensible solutions to help seniors get back in the game.

.

1. Credit Cards: Ensure enough credit is available-if needed-to supplement lost income during a period of unemployment. Capture as much as possible.  This is easier to do while still employed.
2. References: References are part of a larger network.  Individuals should choose four or five but there would be no harm in asking 10 or 15 – “Jim, we have no known each other for a number of years and I would like to ask a favor – would you be prepared to be a reference for me?  I will of course tell you before who will be calling and when.”  Invariably, Jim will counter by saying – “what would you like me to say about you?”  This is the opportunity to have a third party reinforce any accomplishments and is so much more powerful having someone else say it.
3. Support: People need a trusted person who can review their work and help them stay on track.  What is most often neglected and ignored is the information chosen to give to a potential employer and the resulting perception that employer may then have.  Candidates should only give information they want the employer to have.
4. Networking:  Executives in transition should let any network bases know of their employment status and availability.  It is futile to hide the fact.  Many believe that networking is the best way to find a new job.  Sending out a letter can be a less intimidating approach:  “Jim, as you may know, Consolidated Industries has had a major cutback and I am now in the job market.  I would like to ask you a favor – and I am not referring to United Industries, your company.  Your eyes and ears are closer to the ground than mine.  Perhaps in your travels you might come across a company in the industry that could benefit from my international experience.  I enclose my business card where you will find my Web Portfolio (my resume on the web). Any ideas you have would be greatly appreciated.”
5. The Right Marketing Tools:  Vital marketing tools are needed such as: a resume which separates candidates from all the others, appropriate letters, access to data banks (Recruiters Venture Capital, and Private Equity firm, US and Foreign Corporations with operations in US) as well as specialized listings. The resume should not be used as a marketing tool – it should be offered only when requested.  A one-page letter – if properly and persuasively written – should serve as an opener.
6. Elevator Speech:  Prepare a one minute elevator speech, “Tell me a little about yourself”
7. Business Card: Create a business card with all phone numbers and the web address of your online resume.
8. For Those Moving Out Of Financial Services:  Executives in transition must not lose confidence.  Good executives are hard to find.  Any potential hiring company is very fortunate to be meeting you as you have unique talents and experiences that can make a valuable contribution very quickly – believe it.  For those moving out of financial services into a new industry, this is very important – rehearse the following statement:  “If I were to join your team Mr. Brown, I could do three things for your company.  First, I could ???   Second, I could ???? and Finally,  I could  ????   I have done it all before as my previous CEO will be happy to confirm.”
