Virginia Beach, VA (PRWEB) July 22, 2005 -- According to the Department of
Labor, there were 146,000 job gains last month, however, 7.5 million Americans
are still unemployed. The American worker is faced with finding the "American
dream," in the mist of an American economy nightmare. How can today’s workforce
"fight back" and win in spite of the economic stats and realities of the today’s
employment situations?
The market demands that career seekers elevate
themselves to performance employees and become the top "10 -30%" to get hired.
This can be accomplished with a simple career improvement formula: decrease your
competition. Performance employees, who use action-oriented career strategies,
will increase interview results and employment opportunities, especially in
today’s global workplace.
