Netmap
Software Unveils the New Gold Standard for Job
Seekers
Netmap
Software Inc.
announced the release of the new CVTracker™ Gold employer relationship
management software for job seekers. The software takes a new
perspective for
job searching instead of using typical internet techniques, CVTracker
focuses
on building potential employer relationships through targeted personal
networking rather than resume distribution services.
Based on a strong sales automation structure,
the software's primary goal is to level the playing field for job
seekers in
today's employer-centric job market. The
software contains business analytic concepts heralded by large scale
enterprises and puts these tools in the hands of the average job seeker.
Boston,
Massachusetts December 9th, 2003 - Netmap Software announced
the release
of their new CVTracker GOLD edition software product, extending their
product
line to include more powerful job seeking tools for the networking job
seeker. The latest edition contains
complex
measurement techniques for analyzing progress in a targeted networking
based
job campaign. Design and organization of
a campaign remains a critical component that remains a major hurdle for
job
seekers according to many career coaches.
"They don't know where to start - or end for that matter" as
stated by an executive at a leading career consulting firm in the Boston metro area.
Based on
recent statistics from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the national
unemployment rate has dropped slightly to 5.9% - remaining almost
unchanged
since October. The latest unemployment
figures
of 57,000 jobs created in November remain dismal. The
figures missed the market expectations of
over 250,000 jobs created in the past month. Many
analysts have gone back to the drawing
boards to determine the true expectancy of the job market.
Although the number of added jobs is positive,
it remains a small and almost insignificant number given that the
economic
growths that run parallel to employment show much further and faster
growth. "Job seekers are unable to convert
their
contact bases and leads into actual jobs partially because they do not
have
organized and consolidated data" says CEO Ananda Chakravarty from
Netmap
Software. "It's a completely
employer-centric environment, and job seekers have difficulty in
keeping track
of key pieces of information, e.g. resumes sent to whom or critical
contact
information. When this happens, the job
seeker is lost in a quagmire. Not only
do they no longer have contact leads that can be converted to potential
jobs,
but they usually lose sight of their target opportunities.
It's not easy for the average professional to
convert themselves from their previous jobs to a full time salesperson
in a
short time - but that is a necessity in today's economic environment"
Mr.
Chakravarty continued.
Extension
of the CVTrackerTM GOLD edition includes target company
definitions
and data uploading, a fast parser system for easy data entry, and a
potent
phase-based action plan development tool to develop specific
measurements and
achieve them. The Gold edition contains
an easy to use launch guide to help new users become acclimated to the
features
of the tool. Several new design concepts
were integrated as a result of direct testing and relationships with
over 40
beta testers, software reviewers, and initial customers.
The advantages of the improved tool provides
a significant edge for job seekers who wish to take advantage of
networking as a
focus point for landing a job and intend to organize themselves for the
job
seeking process.
Other
important benefits include import/export functionality to XML format
files to
easily share contact lists and a valuable contact management search
functionality to quickly retrieve data stored in the contact management
module
of the software. CVTracker GOLD is currently
available from the Netmap Software product website,
http://www.cvtrack.com and can be
downloaded over broadband connections in less than 5 minutes. The software comes with a 30-day trial period
with full functionality and includes a powerful contact management
toolkit that
allows the job seeker to plan, strategize, and measure their progress
in
finding a job.
The tool
provides the job seeker with fast, reliable access to information about
who,
what, when, where, and how they interact with contacts, companies, and
potential connections within organizations they target. More
importantly, the
tool does not become a victim of mass mailing methods or spam
distribution. Instead,
the CVTracker is designed to facilitate building and leveraging the job
seeker's personal network to gain an advantage in a tight job market.
"The
CVTracker Gold provides substantial improvement in terms of ease of
use, more
implicit understanding, and service capabilities. If
you are a job seeker and you are having a
difficult time tracking your contacts, documents, and organizing your
job
search, CVTracker is the tool to put your data at your fingertips" says
Mr.
Chakravarty. "The CVTracker Gold
extends your job campaign and helps you define exactly what you can and
will
achieve over a specified time period - critical to a successful
campaign" he
remarks.
"…most
of us are going to get reemployed but the time needed to get there can
be
reduced by more effective management whether it be of more effective
personal
time management, self discipline, or having the resources more readily
available to us." wrote David Moreau, a professional mechanical
engineer
seeking work.
"The
organization of the job campaign is crucial to rapid {emphasis
Mr.
Chakravarty} success. CVTracker helps
you to differentiate yourself from the pack of over 8.7 million
unemployed
workers - over 40% in professional and managerial roles.
When you compile your information into
something that is at your fingertips, you maintain stronger, more
professional
relationships with potential employers.
This is where you can show to employers how you recover from
adverse
conditions - dynamically or sluggishly - and subsequently what you will
do when
you begin working for them!" mentioned Mr. Chakravarty.
