(PRWEB) November 11, 2004 -- Sorry, we dont hire recent graduates" is a commonly heard phrase among todays young job seekers. Employers reasoning is that while degreed young adults have technical and academic knowledge, they lack the emotional intelligence, professionalism, and teamwork skills that are expected in the workplace.

Laurie Kahn, president of Media Staffing Network, the first staffing company that caters exclusively to media sales and associated departments, noticed disparate expectations between employers and job hunters in the course of running her business.

According to Kahn, employers tell her that the younger generation doesnt seem to take their jobs seriously. They are out the door at 5:00 regardless of whether a project is finished or not. And if they dont like a job, they walk out the door with no notice. That kind of behavior is costly to businesses."

Job seekers are frustrated, too. They often tell Kahn that even though they have degrees and send out many resumes, they have a hard time getting companies to respond or return phone calls.

To resolve these problems, Kahn gathered a team of professionals and founded All About Careers, a comprehensive resource for job hunters. The company is a full-service, web-based, interactive resource that offers online and personal, one-on-one consulting to develop customized materials and strategies geared toward helping its clients achieve career goals.

To specifically assist recent graduates, the company developed the All About Careers Dream Job Boot Camp: Guerilla tips, tactics and strategies for the seriously motivated career seeker." The comprehensive workshop was created and is led by top recruitment, sales, marketing, and headhunting professionals. The workshops are being marketed heavily to parents who, keenly aware of todays job markets, are justifiably concerned about their childrens futures.

Our workshop is different from the typical presentation because it is based on strategically sound marketing principles as opposed to the tired tactics of yesteryear that so many people cling to," says Rob Sullivan, an inspirational speaker, corporate trainer and author and co-facilitator of the workshops. Sullivans book, "Getting Your Foot in the Door When You Dont Have a Leg to Stand On" (McGraw-Hill), is in top demand in college career development classes.

Included in the cost of the program are a copy of Sullivans book, an on-line career assessment, as well as lunch and refreshments. Early registration costs $899.00 until December 5 and $999.00 afterwards.
