Campbell, CA -- (SBWire) -- 07/20/2010 -- San Francisco Bay Area based job board BAJobs.com is launching the first leg of their four-county career outreach program. The team is visiting local career centers and vocational schools to share job hunting strategy and answer career related questions. Marketing Director Skye Callan says “We’re really on the front lines of the job hunt. We work with employers every day and we have an excellent idea of what they’re looking for. These presentations are our way of helping job seekers really focus on their efforts.”
Kicking off on Tuesday, July 20th at JobTrain in Menlo Park, BAJobs.com will make several stops in Alameda, Santa Clara, San Mateo and San Francisco counties. The presentations typically consist of 15-20 minutes of career advice with ample time for questions and answers. “I find the questions are the most engaging part of the process” reports Assistant Marketing Manager Mitch Kocen. “Everyone’s situation is different, so people want customized answers. There’s a lot of common ground, too. My favorite part is how many people pipe in with ‘me too’ when someone asks a question. There’s a real community starting to form.”
The tour is expected to go through August and is free to attend. A current list of scheduled appearances is available in the events section of http://discussion.bajobs.com.
