SACRAMENTO, Calif. – According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the percentage of unemployed Americans who have been out of work for more than six months is higher than ever before. While these statistics are likely daunting to most, Jerome Young, founder of Attract Jobs NOW (www.AttractJobsNOW.com) and his clients are not fazed by the recent figures. After being laid off by Hewlett-Packard, along with 12,000 other employees, Jerome beat the odds by landing a new job in less than 30 days and has since launched a new enterprise helping job seekers overcome job search obstacles and secure new employment quickly and efficiently.

Due to the recession, Jerome Young suddenly found himself among the nation’s unemployed after five years as a marketing manager at one of the nation’s leading technology solution providers. But after devising a strategic job search plan that resulted in 10 interviews and multiple job offers in less than one month, he landed a new position easily.

When former co-workers and friends also impacted by the economic downturn learned of his success, they flocked to Jerome for assistance, which he gladly provided. Job search consulting soon became his passion, and he recently decided to leave corporate America and pursue his new talent full-time.

“You should always strive to be in the place where you are most valuable,” said Jerome. “Being laid-off or unemployed is an opportunity to find a better job where you are more valuable and more valued. In my case, that job is reaching out to those impacted by massive layoffs, and lessening the blow of being unemployed by helping them find new and rewarding positions as quickly as possible.”

Armed with a keen understanding of how to attract the attention of overworked and understaffed recruiters and hiring manages, as well as the challenges and frustrations of unemployed workers, Jerome produced a webinar and developed a roster of services designed to give job seekers access to affordable job search counseling and resources. His services, offered through his new company, Attract Jobs NOW, have already helped clients to land interviews and job offers in record time.

Attract Jobs NOW specializes in effective job search and outplacement services, including resume consultations and rewriting, interview preparation, job search strategy consultations and job offer negotiation assistance. As the company’s principal, Jerome Young helps his clients avoid some of the biggest job search mistakes, including creating task-oriented resumes that lack results and failing to understand and communicate how their strengths apply to the jobs they’re most interested in. He also creates customized salary reports for clients to help them determine their current market value, and assists them with salary negotiation, as an increasing number of companies offer historically low salaries due to financial woes and a surplus of job candidates.

“There are so many dynamics in play in today’s job market, that it’s difficult for unemployed workers to hit the ground running when they embark on their job search,” said Jerome. “Most people position themselves as generalists in an attempt to cast a wider net but in this market, only specialists, not generalists are hirable. And only specialists can demand what they’re worth when the time comes to discuss salary and benefits.”

In addition to job search consultations and other personalized services, Jerome also offers workshops and webinars designed to help job seekers develop and implement a more results-driven job search strategy. The events include expert instruction on creating dynamic resumes, using LinkedIn to shorten job searches and using search engine optimization techniques to attract hiring managers and recruiters. They also shed light on the primary flaws and mistakes that most often prevent candidates from securing job interviews.

Most recently, Jerome presented the Attract Jobs NOW program at the Consortium for Graduate Study in Management's 43rd Annual Orientation Program in Charlotte, N.C., and on October 2, he will be speaking to MBA students at Olin School of Business at Washington University in St. Louis, Mo. Jerome will also facilitate Attract Jobs NOW webinars each month for the remainder of 2009.

“I would recommend Jerome to anyone looking for ways to educate their constituents on how to find a job in the new web 2.0 atmosphere and in this current economy,” said Rachel Delcau, student and alumni relations manager of the Consortium for Graduate Study in Management. “Jerome's advice, which is based in extensive research, is great for both active and passive job seekers.”

Registration is currently open for four upcoming Attract Jobs NOW webinars on August 4th at 10:00 a.m. and 6 p.m. and August 5th at 10:00 a.m. and 6 p.m. The fee is $49.95 and includes a free 30-minute resume consultation. Space is limited.

“Jerome provided an excellent presentation on career strategies and the use of LinkedIn in job search campaigns. Even though I had used LinkedIn for more than a year, he provided new ideas and strategies that I will put to good use. He had an outstanding grasp of the topics that he was presenting and his presentation skills were excellent. He was organized and effectively timed the use of his visual aids. He engaged his audience in questions and answers which increased the dimension of his presentation. I would love to hear him speak again.”
