You’ve invested heavily in your child’s education and have supported their college dreams. With JobTutors, you will help them build a lifelong platform for independence. The skills and knowledge they gain through this program will be utilized throughout their careers.

Why Your Family Needs JobTutors

A small percentage of college students will get job offers during their senior year and be fully employed at graduation. Another group will continue their education in a graduate program. The majority will be looking for a limited number of entry level jobs in their area of interest.

The competition is strong not only from their peers but from members of the existing workforce who are open to exploring the same positions as they are for a variety of reasons. College graduates who strategically address the job search process with JobTutors have a higher chance of finding and getting a job more quickly than those who attempt it on their own.

Although colleges have career centers, their primary responsibility is to educate their students, not teach them how to sell their newfound skills.

A tutorial approach to the job search process makes sense since new graduates quickly learn new skills, are task oriented and understand homework assignments. What makes this program so effective is that JobTutors works with new graduates to put the instruction into play. We provide an effective way for our clients to transition into the workforce.

Helpful Hints

While supporting your graduate’s job search efforts, keep the following tips in mind:

• If you are going to help your children financially, they should be diligently looking for a job or volunteering somewhere to build experience for their resumes.
• Your household costs will increase while they are home. Depending on your financial circumstances this could add stress.
• A household consisting of a husband and wife spent an average of $6,690 annually on food in 2007, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. The cost for a household with at least one child older than 18 jumped to $9,623 annually.
• It’s difficult to help your children with a job search:
• They are feeling nervous and uncertain about their future and emotions run high.
• Their way to find a job may be different than yours – yes, they will use social networking and it may be very effective.
• You can offer your help but if they say no give them their space so that your actions don’t come across as nagging.
• Be sensitive but help to keep them focused.
• Because you and your child have different interests and needs, you might not understand the type of job they are seeking.
• A positive attitude and outlook is critical to your child’s success. Everyone in the household needs to share the responsibility of being optimistic about the economy and the work environment.
