Job Placement Services

CAREER COACHING – Our CEO and Founder Arno Markus BA, MSc., CPRW will assist you in refining your Career Path and helping you to determine your next Career Goal.

CAREER POSITIONING STRATEGIES – Positioning strategies vary widely between individuals seeking employment in the same field, those who are seeking a career change, or those who are looking for upward career movement. Each strategy requires an understanding of your past and a vision of your future. Arno Markus will work with you to develop a clear understanding of both.

We will work with you to help you discover your value-added brand and how to bring that into sharp focus for your next employer. You will be positively differentiated from other candidates. Your value-added brand is the basis for properly positioning yourself to secure multiple interviews and great offers.

BRANDING – The perceived value-added proposition that you present to a company implies a promise. A promise that you will bring something to the table that will significantly contribute to their organization. You must prove that your unique “Brand” will contribute more to the company than the brand being presented by your competition. Your ability to communicate your Brand, verbally and in writing, will drive your success in conducting an effective Job Search.

BRANDING COMPONENTS • Core Competencies • Value Proposition • Transferable Skills • Accomplishments • Behavioral Competencies

It would be virtually impossible for you to know of all the opportunities available unless you use a professional Job Placement Service, who can identify firms you may never have heard of and brings you to opportunities that match your goals and interests. We maintain a large full-time staff of individuals who continually scout the market for new opportunities.

If you become one of our Job Placement Clients, our goal is to do everything within our power to make sure that you know everything possible about the market you are interested in and have the most options available to you as possible.

Being a professional Job Placement Consultant at its highest level is serious business and requires a lot of work on a daily basis. We are constantly calling, researching and meeting with companies and hiring organizations.

Many employers rely on software known as Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS) to help them sort through the resumes they receive to find qualified candidates. It is important to know how to utilize keywords so the ATS identifies you as a strong candidate.

ATS keywords are specific words or phrases employers identify as requirements for a specific position, ATS keywords can include words that identify qualified candidates based on education, skills, experience and the industry or position.

This means your Resume has to successfully pass through the ATS before it reaches the recruiter or hiring manager for consideration. iCareerSolutions will optimize your Resume and LinkedIn Profile for ATS keywords to increase your chance of a recruiter or hiring manager reaching out for an initial interview.

RESUME, COVER LETTER, AND LINKEDIN PROFILE DEVELOPMENT – Our Multi-Awarding-Winning CEO and Founder Arno Markus BA, MSc., CPRW will create dynamic accomplishment-based career marketing documents targeting your job choice. Your Resume is only one expression of who you are and what you bring to the table.

Your “Brand” must also contain a powerful Social Media component. LinkedIn and Social Media Profiles are key to a value-added Brand. It is also how you verbally and physically present yourself to others. All of these modalities must be managed effectively. Arno Markus will guide you through every step of evaluating which platform is best for your search and help you construct your professional profiles to expand your network and secure multiple interviews faster.

EXECUTIVE BIO – We will also create an Executive Bio to briefly highlight your unique skills. In today’s market, with an increasing degree of specialization in all fields, a resume, LinkedIn Profile and Executive Bio need to show that you are a good fit for the particular job you are targeting.

We will take the time to understand exactly what the hiring organization is looking for. We spend the majority of their time identifying opportunities for clients and only advise clients of opportunities that fit their career goals. In order to make good matches, it is important to understand culture, value systems, work ethic, practice strengths and so forth are all part of the definition of a “good fit.”

Multi-Channel Marketing is required to manage a Job Search that yields results. Engaging in one or two channels will not accomplish this. Our Client Marketing Tactics are focused and comprehensive. We will assist you in effectively managing each of the required channels.

• Email set up and monitor
• Social Media set up and monitor
• LinkedIn Profile Management
• Resume Distribution
• Recruiter List
• Target Company List
• Posting and monitoring Job Boards

A professional Job Placement Service has the ability to get you in the door. A good Job Placement Consultant has “credibility” which, in this business, means that (1) they only present clients to organizations fitting the firm’s requirements, (2) they only present clients to firms that in fact have positions, (3) they only present clients who are genuinely interested in working in the organization.

If you have ever sent your resume to a firm “cold” you know that, nine times out of ten–or more, you’re going to get rejected.

Anyone who gets in the door has a good chance of getting the position. We take the time to prepare our candidates for the interviews, anticipating potential questions an employer may have and helping candidates prepare for unanticipated interview questions. Arno Markus works directly with our candidates before their interviews.

We will teach you how to subtly control your interviews in order to receive excellent offers. Our time-tested interview tactics will help you manage proper phone use, video interviews, face-to-face interviews, group interviews, and properly present your behavioral competencies, so that your brand will allow you to win significant financial offers. Arno Markus has years of experience in the interview process and will coach you through each one.

Oftentimes, companies can be persuaded to offer higher salaries and other incentives to get a good candidate. Most executives reveal early in their negotiations how much they make and how much they want. They capitulate too easily in the process and are eliminated from contention or leave significant money on the table. We will show you how to negotiate for significant compensation increases, additional responsibility, and authority by sharing with you the best practices and experiences that Arno Markus has gained in working with executives for the past two decades.

A Job Search can be a draining experience. We are there with you every step of the way and support you with the type of attention you need in the stressful situation of locating a new position. Arno Markus will speak to you after every interview and do everything we can to ensure that psychologically you are ready for each interview you go into.

There is a tremendous amount of work that goes into finding you a job. When you use the iCareerSolutions Job Placement Service, your most time-consuming task will be showing up for the interviews.

A strong focus on discretion and confidentiality is a key part of the Job Placement and Recruitment process. One of the major benefits of partnering with Arno Markus and the iCareerSolutions Job Placement Service is that many candidates are looking to keep their conversations with hiring managers quiet, motivated by the desire to avoid being tagged as “looking” in the market. With this in mind, discretion is extremely important and your confidentiality is protected.
