Career Networking Pro (CNP) offers its services through "Career Coaches" it trains and supports in mentoring, guiding and assisting job seekers to secure new employment. CNP emphasizes Proactive Career Networking, a system of reaching out to industry contacts for face-to-face meetings, advice and referrals.
It's a process the job seeker controls, where they can influence the timeline for securing employment and the quality of job they receive. Blindly submitting resumes at job posting websites like CareerBuilder and Monster simply doesn't work for the majority of business professionals.
The activity of responding to job postings is deceiving, it seems productive when in actuality the resume goes to a black hole. The online resume submission process is usually no more productive than a mouse working to get out of a maze.
More than 70% of all jobs are filled through networking. The question is, "how do I network to get the position that I want?"
Asking someone, up-front, for a job will cause them to throw up their defenses. With the Career Networking Pro System, job seekers have a process for putting themselves in front of hiring authorities to build relationships and find the best possible employment opportunities.
Job seekers want every advantage they can get, not only to land "a job" but to get "the right job." Career Coaches provide job seekers just such an advantage, utilizing the Career Networking Pro System to put them in front of hiring authorities and industry contacts. Career Coaches add an essential human element, guiding the job seeker through the challenges of a proactive job search.
There are plenty of challenges. To have an advantage in the employment marketplace, the job seeker not only has to work hard, but they also have work smart. Having an objective third-party, a Career Coach, guiding them through the process is invaluable.
Proactive Career Networking is hard work, is new for just about anyone, and needs to be followed to the letter, without fail or excuse. Career Coaches are there to help the job seeker stay on course. Proactive Career Networking takes preparation, persistence, and a focused effort.

Career Coaches render high-quality job search mentoring in conjunction with CNP's proprietary Proactive Career Networking process. Career Coaches charge clients for resume and cover letter writing, job search Marketing Plan development, website creation, job lead research and personal coaching services.
As well, Career Coaches provide corporate outplacement services to local businesses or companies nationally within a specific industry niche. If a Coach's background is in manufacturing, they may want to market their outplacement services in that industry, using the Career Networking Pro online system, software and forms.
In today's job market, more and more companies need help assisting individuals they have to terminate or lay off. Most outplacement services are about getting rid of a potential problem rather than helping the former employee find a job.
The Career Networking Pro System cuts through all the clutter and does both; engaging the former employee with productive activity and advancing them toward securing employment elsewhere. The job seeker can assess what they are looking for in order to target the types of positions they want. Knowing the targeted field or position allows the job seeker to identify the individuals they need to network with, and gives them a reason for contacting hiring authorities without directly asking them for a job.
From the Career Coach, the job seeker receives detailed guidance on conducting those networking meetings for the purpose of generating referrals. Those referrals are contacted to arrange similar meetings to penetrate the marketplace, build relationships, and get even more referrals. This puts the job seeker in the best position to get the best job.
