West Dundee, IL (PRWEB) February 20, 2009 -- As more companies are outsourcing their operations and cutting back their on-site staff job competition is fierce for the eight million Americans who have lost their jobs in the face of today's economic recession. Now, job hunters can increase their employability, pump up their interview skills, fine tune their resume and become serious players in today's competitive job market using a new virtual video game from CrootPad.com.

The bottom line is that today's job search is more competitive than ever, with demographic boundaries wiped out by the Internet and employers opening up previously restricted job offers to attract the largest pool of qualified candidates from around the world. Job hunters need to have classier resumes and stronger interview skills than ever before if they're going to be serious competitors in the global market.
