The Story of JobTutors

As both Steve and Sue’s children and their children’s friends prepared to leave college and enter the workforce, they noticed some trends unique to this generation, including:

• Fierce competition from new job seekers, those postponing retirement or switching to a second  career.
• The Internet and social networking as a large component of the search process.
• Frequent job changes during careers, with savvy job seekers coming out on top.

In researching college career centers and personal coaches, they found several smart and capable mentors but no one seemed to have the combination of real world experience and hands-on formal training.

Steve and Sue knew that, as certified personnel and recruiting specialists, their experience and skills could help college grads remove the barriers that face them on their path to independence. They also knew that working with college grads would be fun and rewarding. Thus, JobTutors was born.
