Meet Me For Coffee - Innovative Ways Job Seekers Are Finding Opportunites

Online, January 8, 2010 (Newswire.com) - New York, NY, United States, January 8, 2010 - CountrysBestResumes, a website of TCBSolutions, one of the country's top firms specializing in the development of market tailored resumes will host the first installment of "A Cup of Coffee and An Interview" on January 14, 2010.

Tawana Wood, President and Chief Resume Writer of TCBSolutions, describes the event as a new way for job seekers to meet with recruiters, network and share ideas. "Typically, job seekers meet with HR professionals during an interview so they have a limited opportunity to develop real relationships with recruiters. "A Cup of Coffee and An Interview" series was created as a forum for job seekers and recruiters to connect and share experiences, ideas, and network. A resume can help open doors but creating a good relationship is what's going to help tip the scale in your favor."

Ms. Wood volunteers her time once a month coordinating events free of charge around New York. She reviews resumes; offers job seeking advice and support to jobseekers. "Some of the people who attend our meetings are in search of finding support. They are looking to meet with people who have similar experiences. For most of us this is the worst job market we have ever seen. So, this is all very new," said Wood

The first installment of the three-part series will take place at 6:00pm at Moonstruck Diner located on 23rd Street and 9th Avenue in New York City. Ebony Williams, a recruiter from United Staffing Systems will join to group to offer tips and interview candidates.

"I am very excited about this meet-up. The group has been meeting for one year and the experience has been wonderful. Everyone shares tips, exchanges business cards and offers support," said Wood. "Recruiters are always welcomed to attend our events. We are working hard to secure more small venues for recruiters to meet with talented jobseekers. My goal is to help at least 100 New Yorkers find new and exciting opportunities this year," says Wood.
