ITS Exposes 'New Top Six Myths' About Executive Job Market
Denver, CO — June 10, 2006
ITS, the nation's leading firm in providing technology and team resources to assist professional, managerial and executive job seekers, has identified six recently emerging myths about how to execute an effective job search campaign in today's complex, hyper-competitive job market.
1. In a down economy, few jobs are available - Actually, many jobs are still available. The annual turnover rate for managerial, professional and executive level jobs is 25-30%, even in recessions. And because the economy continues to expand, despite relatively high unemployment rates, the overall number of employed persons continues to rise as well.
2. If I get the interview, I'll get the job - Hiring organizations routinely interview eight or more candidates for each available position. Competition is fierce, both in terms of quantity and quality. This is so important that ITS prepares its clients for interviews in several ways.
3. Effective resumes emphasize work history - The fact is, two individuals can have similar work histories, yet differ dramatically in their accomplishments and contributions. At ITS, resumes and biographies accentuate achievements and ability to contribute, both how and where.
4. Recruiters are the prime source of job opportunities - While still an important resource, the role of recruiters in senior level job placements is decreasing. Many employers today find it more cost-effective to use their own website to attract qualified candidates.
5. Sending out lots of resumes is the key to success - Mass mailings alone are rarely effective. Odds are high. Companies and recruiters often receive thousands of resumes for each open position.
6. Most jobs are found via contacts - Networking can produce results for people at lower income levels; but at $100,000 and above it can be a time-consuming, expensive way to look for a job. Targeted networking, based on specific information, is the only type ITS recommends at these levels, and it's practical only when its technology is used to minimize time requirements.

We Set a New Standard in the Career Sector; A Money Back Guarantee
Denver, CO — June 5, 2006
Tom Singleton, Senior Vice President for ITS announced a new money back guarantee that ITS has pioneered for their clients.
Each year ITS serves thousands of professionals and executives seeking new jobs. They provide a technology based service that makes available many one of kind resources that can help people job hunt with more speed, case, and convenience.
As Singleton explains, here's how the money back guarantee works. Once a client is accepted, the firm will undertake and present all of the work just mentioned. Once fully presented, their contract reads as follows "If our work is not in keeping with your expectations, you may notify us of your decision to exercise your money back guarantee option. Our only requirement is that you leave all materials and that nothing be photo copied or moved from our offices."
As part of its money back guarantee, any retainers that the firm receives are completely protected. ITS invests up to 40 hours developing a marketing plan, several resumes, and a step by step action plan for each person to develop suitable interviews. Then everything that they have developed is presented in private consultation that takes place over I to 2 days.
Singleton said that ITS is the first firm to offer consumers such a fully protected money back guarantee. He hopes that other firms, including the largest firms in the outplacement industry, who assist executives with their job search will follow suit and adopt this practice across the board with their clients.
ITS is the nations leading firm in providing technology and team resources to assist professional, managerial, and executive job seekers. Their services are described through the links at the top of this page.

ITS Hails New Era of Client Support, Satisfaction, Alumni Status
Denver, CO — January 3, 2006
"Given the high level of enthusiastic endorsements by clients, we contend that ITS has indeed entered a "new era" in the career services field," stated Robert Gerberg, President of ITS, the nation's leading provider of job search resources for people seeking $50,000+. "We have entered an era, " he continued, "where the momentum of referrals and positive word of mouth is becoming significant in our growth."
"That is to be expected, of course, when you have such a high level of client satisfaction. To get some idea of that we invite people to page through our new publication, Let Us Share With You Some Experiences of Our Thousands of Clients. In its 112 pages they will find hundreds of enthusiastic endorsements excerpted from comments volunteered by clients.
In practical terms, this enthusiasm has translated into over 1000 clients electing to become part of the ITS Advisory Group. This is a kind of alumni group that provides feedback to the firm for improving its resources, shares its positive experiences with others, and regularly produces a lot of referrals.
In this new era, we believe that the only way a firm in the career services field can survive is to build a loyal following like this, and then listen to them carefully, implementing changes they suggest. Making a strategic career move is one of life's major events, and it impacts every other aspect of life. People correctly do not want to entrust such an important mission to a firm that does have the full support of an enthusiastic group of past clients. It is indeed a new era, and we welcome it."
