“Position Yourself”

CareerLeak.com empowers job seeking and career minded individuals with insider information.

If you have ever dipped your big toe in the job pool to test the waters, you are surely aware of how unpredictable the job market can be. Discrepancies in pay, benefits and even job descriptions can leave job hunters empty handed and frustrated. This characteristic is a product of many factors and companies. While many good, honest companies are completely straightforward and practical about the positions at which they are hiring; others can be short and misleading.

 Target Distribution Centers is an excellent example of a company running misleading job postings. Target DC places numerous ads for a “DC Group Leader” throughout the country, however when one applies, and goes through the interview process they find they are likely interviewing for a “Team Leader” position. The differences in the two positions are considerable; namely pay and responsibilities. Ultimately the applicant either takes the job with the promises of being promoted (and likely relocated), or they turn it down having wasted time, money, and patience.  Regardless of their decision, they enter the interview process with an expectation, and leave many times defeated.

Go to a leading job posting site such as Monster, CareerBuilder, or HotJobs and look for postings that have the salary, daily responsibilities, or management characteristics, etc. The information simply is scarce. True, there may be a posting here or there that does show up in the searches that provides total practical information, however for the most part prospective employees must apply for the job and enter the interview process in order to gain any more information. Calls to Human Resource departments are hit or miss, as many secrets are kept behind virtual lock and key.

Until now job hunters, especially entry level applicants faced an uphill battle. In the past this battle belonged to the employers as they had the positioning. They were well aware of how desperate and anxious applicants can be, and marketed their positions to capitalize on such weaknesses. 

CareerLeak.com helps level the playing field in most cases and can even put the applicant in a better position than they would have been without the service.  CareerLeak understands the important factors in finding the right job match and surveys actual current and former employees of specific companies to remove the barriers that block the information.

Armed with this information an applicant can save time and money by narrowing down what positions fit them. Essentially, they are positioning themselves for better results, whether that is pay, working conditions, or less stress CareerLeak.com provides the tools necessary for success.
