Having occasionally been on both sides of the employment status - hunting for a job and searching for the right new-hire - I have found both tasks can be tedious efforts, like slogging through mud in combat boots.

Now, the experts at Automotive Fleet are helping match qualified job seekers to companies and organizations that need skilled, professional fleet managers.

Aimed at connecting all levels of fleet professionals to companies involved in all aspects of the industry, FleetJobFinder.com, is a one-stop, targeted job board for the fleet industry and can be found on the Automotive Fleet Web site. Just click on "Job Board" in the menu at the top of the page.  

Help in Finding That Perfect Position

Job seekers find a comprehensive resource - at no charge - for the job of find a job:

• Open job listings are searchable by key word, location, and job type.
• Applications can be submitted online to specific job opportunities.
• Job alerts are sent to the seeker's account inbox, matching criteria the he or she defines.
• A Content Library contains links to hundreds of sites offering career advice and guidance from interview tips to constructing effective resumes.
• Career coaching and help in creating resumes and cover letters are provided. (Third-party career experts charge fees for some of these services.)

• The Ask Experts feature sends queries on job search issues (e.g., networking, resume writing, interview preparation, salary negotiations, etc.) to career experts who attempt to provide answers within one business day.
• Links connect to relevant reference articles (e.g., AF's Biannual Industry Salary Survey, "5 Fatal Career Mistakes Fleet Managers Make") published in Automotive Fleet and its sister fleet publications.

After establishing a Job Finder personal account, job seekers create a Career Profile. This online anonymous resume is posted in a resume bank for employers to review. Employers can view all applicant information except name and contact information. Interested employers complete a job overview, which is e-mailed to the job seeker's "My Contact Requests" box in his or her Fleet Job Finder account. The job seeker then reviews the job to decide whether to pursue the opportunity and share contact information with the employer.

In addition to posting a text resume and cover letter, Job Finder account holders can complete an "Interview" document to further explain to prospective employers their skills, knowledge base, and experience beyond their resume content.

A 30-day, $15 premium resume option offers job seekers the opportunity to gain more visibility. The preferred resume listing is highlighted with a gold star icon and is featured at the top of the resume search results.

Help in Locating That Perfect Employee

Employers seeking top candidates for key fleet management and related positions will find a targeted database of qualified applicants at Fleet Job Finder. Companies and organizations can post available openings on the Fleet Job Finder site and search for qualified resumes by key word, location, and latest update.

Employer/Recruiter Accounts make it easy to post jobs and contact candidates and can be opened without charge. A 30-day job posting costs just $150, a reasonable fee compared to broader, less-targeted job boards, I've been told.

A range of competitively priced packages allow companies to tailor applicant searches to their individual needs while staying within budgets.
