JMAC’s Emerging Jobs SuperSearch Gives Job Seekers Competitive Edge

Tuesday, May 20th, 2008

It’s important for job seekers to understand, if they can get news that a company is about to launch a new product, for example, or recently enjoyed a lot of growth in a particular division, or just won a big contract, these news items are signals that the employer will likely be seeking a lot of qualified people to help them take advantage of their opportunities.

Our online, real-time Emerging Jobs SuperSearch scours the major wire services to find emerging jobs in the “incubation stage” where events like these signal a near-term need for key talent. When you make contact in these early stages, there is little or no competition. SuperSearch puts them all at your fingertips for immediate action, with new entries every day.

Job seekers can specify the state and industry they are interested in. If they get too many entries, they can focus only on the most recent events or, if they wish, they can go back and select only certain types of events. Some other examples of this kind of news Emerging Jobs SuperSearch gives job seekers would include new financings, real estate purchases, relocations, startups, and new CEOs being appointed. There are literally thousands of events every day that might signal opportunity.

Out of millions of articles and releases scoured, only those that fit the criteria of the job seeker are selected. Most people would not know where or how to find news of these event, because a lot of it never is published.

At Jobmarketaccess.com, we give our job seekers access to as much as 85% of the advertised openings, including those from newspapers, recruiter openings, job boards, employer sites, and trade magazines. We also provide access to the unadvertised job market among employers, recruiters and growth companies.

Historic Charleston

Monday, May 19th, 2008

Looking for a vibrant community in which to retire, one with that feels more like home than heaven’s waiting room? Instead of the usual suspects – Arizona, Florida, California – why not check out historic Charleston. Real estate prices here are a fraction of what they are elsewhere, the cost of living is lower, and the medical facilities are on par with if not better than what you’ll find elsewhere. Old historic beachfront mansions, restored plantation homes, and a history of real estate price increases all paint the picture of a Charleston that has historically been and will continue to be a good place to live and to invest.

If I had to pick my favorite true southern city, I’d have to pick Charleston. The historic waterfront, the fantastic restaurants and shopping, and the beautiful weather all make Charleston a lovely city in which to reside. What’s more, Charleston real estate won’t set you back much more than comparable real estate in, say, Savannah, where you won’t even get beachfront or waterfront. Whether it’s a historic plantation-style house or a condo near the college, Charleston real estate is worth every penny.

Florida homes

Monday, May 19th, 2008

Last week, I flew to a real estate brokerage to see about a job in Jacksonville, FL. Real Estate isn’t necessarily my top career choice but a job with the best real estate broker in southern Florida wouldn’t be so bad. I learned that this brokerage is getting some of the highest prices for sellers while also managing to sell more property than other brokers who would short-sell their sellers’ homes. What’s more, Jacksonville is poised to see a big recovery in housing prices following a bit of turmoil, which only means that commissions will be going up, up, up. The company specializes in Jacksonville and the surrounding areas, especially Ponte Vedra and Atlantic beach. That bit of diversity would probably keep things interesting enough for me to stick around.

Jacksonville Real Estate

Monday, May 19th, 2008

A lot of people feel like they missed out during this last housing boom. But those who bought Jacksonville Real Estate are feeling the pain in a big way now, with median prices on single-family homes falling over 12% year over year. Many are also quick to point out that now is a real buyers’ market with the potential to realize gains more permanent gains on an investment in a home than they would have been if you had bought in, say, 2004.
