Job Searching With JobSerf.com

Saturday December 27, 2008
Erin O'Keefe is a job searcher with a recent Bachelor's degree looking for an entry level job in the New York City area. She was looking for some job search help. JobSerf.com asked me if I knew anyone interested in trying out their personalized job searching service. It seemed like a good fit, so I asked Erin if she would like to give JobSerf a try.

I was interested in learning whether having someone help you source and apply for job listings, could save job searching time and energy. Is it worth paying for job search assistance? The answer, in this case, was yes. As Erin says, "The service is ideal for someone looking to advance to a higher level in their career, or someone seeking a change in employment who is currently employed and doesn't have hours of time to spend hunting."

Erin completed a two week trial period with JobSerf to see what the company is all about, the service they offer, and precisely how a Texas-based company that uses outsourcing could possibly find her a job in New York City. Erin noted that, "JobSerf.com took over the hours spent searching online, and found some listings that I either hadn't yet come across or didn't know existed. They widened the scope of my search, and thus upped my chances." Here's more about how JobSerf.com's personalized job searching worked for Erin.
