Sometimes You Need A Push

Tracking PixelGrowing up I remember thinking that you just got a job. You went to school, you went to college and a job was waiting for you. Even as I went into college I never thought it would be at all difficult to procure a job. I was wrong! I remember how difficult it was for me getting my first job out of college and this was before the Internet was as helpful as it is now. Making connections on and offline are extremely important. I am working with Fifth Third Bank to give you guys some details on job coaching and the importance of having someone in your corner to make sure you land an interview and hopefully that job!

Did you know for every job there is to apply for, on average 200 people apply for that job*? Wouldn’t it be great if there was a way you could have someone help coach you through the job searching process? Starting with crafting your perfect resume that will grab the attention of everyone to walking into the interview with confidence. Fifth Third can help with that. Fifth Third Bank is giving away $1 million of one-on-one job coaching from expert coaches at NextJob, a national employment company (each prize is worth $1,000 each). This is such an invaluable prize that will teach you long lasting skills you can use for the rest of your life.

Every week, 80 winners will be matched with a professional NextJob coach to help them get the job they want faster and more effectively than going at it alone. The coaching is completely virtual and includes things from interview prep and coaching, help finding the 50% of available jobs that aren’t even listed online* and resume editing. They will also help with career testing and personality testing to help find opportunities you may not have ever considered for yourself. Also a look at your Linkedin and twitter profiles to ensure your social media is job ready! The scheduling is completely flexible so don’t worry about not having the time.

Here is how to qualify: Tweet why you deserve free one-on-one job coaching from NextJob. Use #BrandofYou and #53enter. You can enter 1 time per day. Up to 80 winners will be selected per week until July 20.

Fifth Third is also hosting a Twitter event where NextJob coaches will provide real time feedback on resumes and interview question responses. On the Twitter event date, Fifth Third Bank will award up to 50 job coaching opportunities. Event details here: https://brandofyou.53.com/events

The job hunt game can be tough and while you have the support of people around you having additional support form Fifth Third Bank will help you land that dream job you’ve always wanted!

    Ugh job hunting is not going well for me! My kids are both now I’m school but I can’t afford to pay someone to watch them when they’re out so I need something flexible. I’ve been subbing which works out great but not guaranteed tgat I’ll get to work

    It was hard for me to get my first job and even for my son to get his when he turned 16, and that was just for something part time. The coaching sounds like it will be very useful.

    This sounds really helpful and useful! I also work in social media and it took me years to break into this field. I learned how to get a job in this field in my own so I wish I could’ve had a resource like this. Thanks for sharing!
