Resume and Cover Letter Writers Reach Out Through the Media

    COLUMBUS, OH, May 11, 2009 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Leading local career consultants and group of professional resume writers has decided to challenge the rough economy by turning themselves into a media outlet. The Resume Bay announced recently that it would be able to help the millions of recent college graduates, unemployed and "career-challenged" individuals by creating an Internet radio show called "Resume Bay Radio." The show is focused on providing career insight to candidates on the job search, including interviewing tips, salary negotiation, creative ways to network (and why it is important), the importance of a customized resume, proper follow-up after an interview, how to convert a phone interview to a face-to-face interview and how to leverage web 2.0 in the job search.

The radio show is already creating a buzz among social networks, which is certainly a response to the strong series of interviews the show has aired in the past month. Last month, Resume Bay Radio interviewed Dr. Debra Condren, author of Ambition is Not a Dirty Word. Dr. Condren explained how freelancing opportunities are an excellent way to bounce back after unemployment. She gave specific examples as to how freelancers can get businesses to pay part of their fees upfront.

"By acting like a professional, rather than someone who is willing to give his or her services away by low-balling prices, you can work with companies to receive up to half of your fees upfront," Dr. Condren said during her interview. "Even in this market, people want to make sure that they are hiring the very best talent - the very best experts and freelancers."

David Horne, author of Career Secret Sauce, was also interviewed for the show last month. Horne went into specific detail about the challenges facing today's college graduates and explained the one skill that, once mastered, can take any career to the next level.

Resume Bay Radio already has several interviews scheduled for May, including interviews with featured career authors Michael Port, Jay Conrad Levinson and Monroe Mann. Previous shows include interviews with Frances Coles Jones, author of How to Wow; Jill Spiegel, featured guest on the Oprah Show and the Today Show; Linda C. Thompson, author of I Am My Own Dragon; Dr. Nancy and Randall Bell. Once recorded, all interviews are available at the Resume Bay for download.

Additionally, the creative minds at the Resume Bay are in the process of completing an informative career advice webinar series. The "Career Empowerment Series" webinar will be sectioned into four parts:

i. Sharpening Your Axe - Preparing for your job search
ii. Catching the Big Fish - Strategies for getting noticed in a crowded job market
iii. Selling Yourself Without Selling Out - Proven interview methods you can use immediately
iv. Too Cool for School - Negotiating a great job package and how to handle your first 30 days

Look for more information about this webinar series and future news for the Resume Bay to follow in the next few months.
