A New Model Of Helping Job Seekers. Launching A Careers Marketplace

Careers Marketplace
Written by Faizan Patankar

At Career Geek, we like helping students, graduates and young job seekers. Providing them with information is fine and we do it well, evidenced by the variety of content about employment, education and enterprise we publish on the blog. But we are starting something new that we call a Careers Marketplace.

Career Geek Ltd., the owner of Career Geek, is now offering students, graduates and job seekers a chance to buy career-related products and services instantly. You no longer have to be stuck at 10pm at night thinking that you don’t have a good enough resume. The idea behind the careers marketplace is to allow you to download the resources you require for your job search instantly.

Why do we need a careers marketplace?

We need a careers marketplace because the graduate careers industry is not moving away from the age-old recruitment traditions. Today you can order a pizza with a guarantee of it reaching within 30mins. Then why does a job seeker have to wait a day or two to get help with writing his/her first CV?

Currently we are offering Organic and External products/services on the marketplace. Organic are those items that have been created by the team behind Career Geek. External are those which have been marketed by third parties. Visit Careers Marketplace to see the full list of items.

BENEFITS OF CAREERS MARKETPLACE TO JOBSEEKERS

Over the next few weeks we will be adding further services like CV reviews and help with online job application forms. This is still in the works, but once ready we will deliver this via our Google Helpouts account.

Can I submit a product/service to your careers marketplace?

Career Geek has always appreciated help from experts and even fellow graduates in bringing some of the best and most up-to-date advice to students and graduates. And it is the same philosophy that will apply to our careers marketplace.

If you have a product, e-book or a service that you’d like to add to the careers marketplace, please visit the Careers Marketplace ‘How To Sell’ resource.

Our criteria for the products we showcase are simple: we want the best and most trustworthy providers to associate ourselves with. We will only accept products and services that we believe will benefit job seekers. Each product or service will be reviewed thoroughly before being advertised on the marketplace.
