The Most Successful Job Seekers Use Innovative Technologies
As Part of Their Job Hunting Strategies
360JobInterview.com: Leverage Technology to Land a Job

Syracuse, NY, November 9, 2009 – During the ongoing recession, as unemployment continues to soar, job seekers must leverage the most innovative technologies to prepare for – and participate in – job interviews.

“Technology has changed the way people search for jobs and prepare for and participate in interviews,” said Jeff Garber, co-founder of 360JobInterview.com. “People that are not jumping on this technology bandwagon are missing out on key opportunities.”

360JobInterview.com is a revolutionary new live, web-based service that helps job seekers improve their interviewing skills and resumes, gain confidence and better position themselves to secure new jobs through live, face-to-face coaching sessions with HR experts conducted via Skype video call. The company features over 300 skilled HR coaches – across 55+ industries – who know from firsthand experience what recruiters are looking for during the interview process. 360JobInterview.com helps people perform at the top of their games, whether they’re preparing for in-person or online job interviews.

“Career coaching by telephone can provide an assessment of a candidate’s speaking voice and talking points, but our company takes career coaching to a whole new level. By using Skype video calls, our HR coaches can see candidates and offer full ‘360’ feedback, providing advice on how candidates could present themselves more effectively during an interview,” explained Dan Fedrizzi, co-founder of 360JobInterview.com.

360JobInterview.com coaches offer tips on how candidates can improve their body language to better connect with recruiters. The company’s coaches also help candidates practice interviewing in a ‘virtual’ format, working out any kinks before they participate in online video interviews with recruiters, which is a growing trend.

According to 360JobInterview.com’s coaches, there are significant advantages to embracing technology as part of the job search:

Job seekers aren’t limited by geography. Now, job seekers can interview for a job anywhere via video calling software, without having to incur the time and expense of traveling for an in-person interview. This allows them to widen their job hunting parameters, exploring possible job opportunities in a variety of geographic areas.

Candidates can receive a full “360” assessment prior to an interview. Unlike speaking with a coach via telephone, video calls allow coaches and candidates to see each other. Therefore, coaches can provide advice on body language, wardrobe, professional appearance and more.

Career coaching is easily accessible. All a job seeker needs is a computer with a broadband connection, a web cam and the free Skype software and they can have instant access to career coaches 24/7.

Networking has reached a whole new level. Networking is critical to securing a new job, and becomes even more important when pursuing a career change. Online tools like LinkedIn and Facebook make it easy to expand your network, make connections, ask for advice and learn about upcoming opportunities. Networking online is easy, efficient and free.

Professional development opportunities abound. Job hunters need to stay current in their industry, learn about new techniques and technologies and stay connected to industry peers. Now, people can learn, interact and network from the comfort of their own computers, with access to classes, seminars, webinars, and more – right at their fingertips.

360JobInterview.com offers a variety of services that are affordable and obtainable for job seekers. Learn more at www.360JobInterview.com.
