ERI Economic Research Institute's Occupational Assessor™ (http://www.erieri.com/According to ERI's founding director, Dr. David Thomsen, "Job search at the personal level is all about minimizing rejection. ERI's software identifies jobs that fit and local employers likely, or visibly, posting openings for these jobs, while providing contact names, emails, addresses, and phone numbers. Because this program increases the odds of a successful job search in these tough times, ERI has decided to make this program available at no cost."
You can use ERI's Occupational Assessor for many tasks:
* Identify your education, achievements, skills, present residence, and any limitations on physical and mental capacities;
* Review the jobs found nationally or locally for which your capacities and past training might qualify you;
* Receive three estimations of the number of these jobs within your area, region, or state;
* Generate a list of employers within commuting radius and a list of employers that are most likely to have the identified positions within their workforces;
* Review a list of job board postings by matched employer, area, and/or industry to see if any of these employers might now have "the right job at the right time in the right place";
* All this, at no cost!
