12.21.2010– To help job seekers find rewarding, gainful employment or career-enhancing internships, career experts who met on Twitter are volunteering their time in a collaborative effort they’ve deemed, “Hired for the Holidays.”
“There were 3.4 million job openings on the last business day of October, according to a recent Bureau of Labor Statistics report,” said Mark Babbitt, founder of Hired for the Holidays and CEO of YouTern. “We know jobs exist. Many people just have a hard time properly marketing themselves and getting noticed by employers. That’s where we come in.”
In early December, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported:
- The unemployment rate edged up to 9.8 percent in November
- Average duration unemployed remained about the same at 33.8 weeks (-0.1)
- Nonfarm payroll employment was little changed (+39,000)
