FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE -------------------------- Of interest to editors/authors covering: Employment, Human Resources, Business and Finance McKenzie Scott Reports Information Becoming More Critical Than Ever to Job Seekers DENVER, CO - May 15, 2003 /PRnetwire.com/ -- "Time was, a job seeker at the 75K level and above could count on winning an offer without knowing a whole lot about the employer or its industry. Those days are long gone," according to Ken Judd, Executive VP of Consulting at the Denver headquarters of McKenzie Scott, the firm that offers a variety of technological and personal team resources to job seekers at 75K+. "The level of competition is such," says Judd, "that even to get considered you often need to demonstrate in your email, letters and phone discussions, that you are well informed about the company's history, its markets, growth directions and competitive position in its industry. Once you make it to the interview level, you are likely to be up against candidates as well qualified as you are. The difference could be in how much you know about the firm. Employers are impressed with candidates who've taken the time to learn a lot about them. McKenzie Scott provides each of its clients a personal website. Part of it is a portal where a client can access any of hundreds of key sites with helpful information. Part of it gives access to proprietary databases. And part of it is interactive, where clients can order in-depth reports on specific companies and have it in their possession in a matter of hours. "I can't tell you how many times that has made the difference in winning an offer. I feel sorry for the other guys who go in without that kind of support. They don't stand a chance," Judd said. Judd, who managed a $65 million company and consulted with dozens of corporate clients, pointed out that traditionally no consultant could hope to win an assignment unless he knew an extensive amount about the prospect, and today the same goes for any executive seeking a job. McKenzie Scott is the nation's leading firm in providing technology and team resources to assist professional, managerial, and executive job seekers.
