Yakima, Wash., and Chicago (PRWEB) May 4, 2009 -- Debra Yergen, author of the popular Creating Job Security book series, joins Kaplan University's Executive Series Online Career Seminars, one of the many benefits available to Kaplan's 56,000 students working toward advanced degrees. Yergen's seminar "50 Job Sites and Online Resources to Help Your Job Search" will be available live twice today, at 1:00 p.m. Eastern and 9:00 p.m. EDT, to accommodate a range of student schedules.
Students attending the seminars will receive a complimentary e-copy of Yergen's Creating Job Security Resource Guide, as well as be able to download sample templates of The Green Light Scoring Model which takes readers step-by-step through the process of determining the most ideal job for them right now, and which is exclusively available in Creating Job Security, The 2009 All-In-One Workbook published by The Graduate Group.
"People don't have to read that the economy is in a dire situation to know what's going on," says Yergen. "They feel it personally in their own pay checks and by watching their friends and family lose jobs and be forced to accept pay decreases." Yergen says this is the perfect time to freshen up on skills, increase knowledge and invest in additional education. "Education, knowledge and skills increase a person's marketability in the job market. Accredited online courses like those offered by Kaplan are a great way for people to take small steps toward achieving an important life goal," Yergen says.
This seminar addresses the best places for students preparing to graduate to seek out job resources. "While large portals offer the best variety of positions, as a job seeker, your best job opportunity can be found in a local newspaper/Web site or at an industry site tailored to your specialization," Yergen says.
For those who have applied to hundreds of ads without getting a response, Yergen recommends they review their cover letter. "The cover letter is your introduction to the hiring organization. Use it to create a positive, professional and memorable introduction."
Yergen regularly dishes advice on creating job security on Twitter @Job_Security.
