Are You Looking for a New Job for the New Year?

Holiday season is a busy time for the passive job-seekers of the world. The mindset: "New job for the new year!" The plan...? Well then plan isn't so cut-and-dry.

Today there are hundreds of ways to find a new job, including referrals, newspapers, career services, networking, and of course, online. Online itself has divided into twenty directions, from the good-old fashioned job board websites (i.e. Monster.com and CareerBuilder), to newly developed and relatively untested social networking websites (i.e. LinkedIn, Facebook, and Twitter). And then there's the niche resources, those not available to the masses, those online job-seeking tools that only a select group of people can take advantage of - those websites are like MBAFocus.com. MBA Focus has been serving the elite MBA for over 10 years. And now, it's even available to those MBA students who have graduated.

Today MBA Focus has more than 2,500 companies accessing over 35,000 MBA alumni registered as passive and active job-seekers. These MBA alumni are an elite, experienced, and highly-qualified group of candidates. And so are you! So make sure you are taking advantage of everything MBA Focus has to offer.

Have You Pre-Ordered MBA Resume Books Again This Year?

If you have typically pre-ordered MBA resume books in the past, we just wanted to remind you that YOU ARE A GENIUS! Pre-ordering the resume books is the absolute best way to find and hire the top-tier MBA talent - and here are 5 brilliant reasons why:

1. Pre-ordering the resume books gives the school's career service office time to approve you access to the database of job-seeking candidates before it is released to other employers.
2. Get access to the resume book the moment it becomes available to search.
3. Filter the largest and best group of candidates before anyone else has a chance to contact them.
4. Save money by pre-ordering the school's entire population of job-seeking candidates (1st-year interns, graduating 2nd-year students, and experienced alumni) at once.
5. While pre-ordering, you can add a MultiPost job posting to your order and immediately reach the job-seeking audience of MBAs currently searching for job openings.

So how did you get so smart? You couldn't have possibly known all the advantages of pre-ordering! But you did so anyway. And you should do it again! Start the hiring process with MBA Focus today!
