The new edition of the Very Quick Job Search video has been completely revised
with new footage and interviews. As we say, if you had only thirty minutes to
teach anyone how to find a job in less time, this is the program for you.
Adding to this is the fact that we have become a workforce of career changers.
The most current statistics from the U.S. Department of Labor indicate that the
average length of unemployment for today痴 workers is more than 17 weeks.
Another study tracked a portion of the workforce and showed that people born
between the years of 1957 and 1964 held an average of 10.2 jobs from age 18-38.
So, if you池e in today痴 workforce, you池e changing jobs more often and spending
more time unemployed between jobs. Our objective in this video is to help you
better understand different job search techniques so you can decrease the amount
of time it takes you to find the job you want. We will do this by exploring the
