THE Central Texas Careers 2016 First Quarter Report

Austin, TX, June 19, 2016 --(PR.com)-- THE Central Texas Careers says that may job seekers fail to realize that over eighty percent of opportunities are not found through traditional resources such as the internet job boards.

Statistics show that online resumes produce only one inquiry for every eighty-five resumes a company receives and less than half of the inquires result in an interview.

Therefore, only one interview takes place for every one-hundred and seventy resumes with the average company conducting ten interviews before extending an offer. That means one offer is extended for every one-thousand-seven-hundred resumes that are submitted through online postings.

The more effective approach is to utilize “target marketing” by identifying transferable /marketable skill sets, qualifying desirable companies to work for and utilizing networking techniques to ensure marketing collateral such as resumes and cover letters end up in the hands of the actual decision makers. THE says that in the first quarter of 2016, approximately forty percent of client offers were created positions utilizing the “target marketing” method from the Austin office.

THE is a career management firm located in Austin, Texas, and assists professionals and executives in various industries across the country. They have forty-nine cooperative offices in five countries including the U.S., Australia, Canada, Scotland and England.
