New Career Profile Dashboard released today gives job seekers a chance to compare their skills and working styles to a wider range of jobs

Chicago, IL (February 26, 2009) – QuietAgent today released new career tools to help job seekers, enabling them to determine if their skills might be a fit for occupations they had not previously considered. The innovative tools allow job seekers to compare themselves to their ‘dream job’, while also exploring whether they have the necessary skills and attributes to work in a wide range of jobs profiled by O*Net, the U.S. Department of Labor’s leading source of occupation information.

To use the new QuietAgent tools, job seekers first complete a simple, graphical profile that gives them a report of their strongest characteristics and qualities that emerge. They can also create a customized skills list to add to their résumé, and browse through more than 1,400 jobs to see how well they meet the important goals and skills required of each opportunity.

”With company layoffs at a record high, more and more job seekers are applying for fewer jobs,” said Jason Kerr, CEO of QuietAgent. “Our new tools encourage people to research and consider occupations that they may have no previous experience in, but that may be a perfect fit for their skills. The result is an expansion of their opportunity to be employed and a chance for employers to find more qualified candidates.”

The new Career Profile Dashboard gives job seekers a range of tools they can use to help them refine their résumés and improve their chances of being found for a job. A résumé quality indicator shows how various sections of their résumé could be improved in order to compete with the best job seekers within QuietAgent. A “people similar to me” feature shows job seekers how many others have similar types of education, work experience, skills, experience with tools and technologies, and work preferences.

Kerr said that feedback about the dashboard has been overwhelmingly positive, and that in a difficult economic climate, job seekers know that a change in approach may be required. “Job seekers love being able to see how they might fit into a potential job, and are also very keen to find out areas for possible improvement.”

As the technology provider behind AllianceQ, the powerful and growing group of American companies combining their recruiting strength, QuietAgent is focused on delivering the very best tools to help bring the right job seekers and employers together. Said Kerr, “Unlike professional and social networks LinkedIn and Facebook, QuietAgent is solely dedicated to careers, and giving job seekers the very best tools to assist and connect them throughout the course of their working lives.”
