Recession Makes the Future Uncertain for Workers 50 and Older

September 2, 2010 For Immediate Release by Joe Carbone This great recession has affected millions in this country but for those 50 and older, the impact has been greater and the long-term effects may be more daunting. Former Congresswoman Barbara Jordan once said that “what the people want is very simple – they want an America as good as its promise.” In light of our current economic times, how can America fulfill on its promise to those we deem “older Americans?” The havoc and destructiveness…

Testimonials

"I just wanted to let you know that I went through the site and it is thus far the easiest and most user-friendly job site I have ever used!" -Robert Rodriguez, Florida Atlantic University Alumnus (Job Seeker)

"We appreciated your presentation this week to the SBU Health Division Schools. Your endorsement and philosophy of continual education & support for alumni in their careers hits very close to our hearts." -Bonnie Rohe, Sanford Brown College (Career Services)  

"You really are extraordinary in serving your customers. Much appreciated." -Greg Jackson, University of Denver Alumnus (Job Seeker)

"It has been a pleasure working with the GoliathJobs Team. Thank you for making our jobs easier! Happy Holidays!" -Mary Ann Schnur, Gibbs College (Career Services)

"We are a small but fast growing Internet marketing company and as such, need to find qualified candidates quickly to meet our growing demand. GoliathJobs’ system was very user-friendly so we were able to post our position in just a few minutes. But the best part is that we started getting high quality candidates within 24 hours." -Chris Conroy, CreateTraffic.com (Employer)

"Thank you! I like the way your website is set up, very easy. I will post my resume immediately and get started." -Sean Yarrish, Gibbs College Alumnus (Job Seeker)

“We are really enjoying GoliathJobs, and can you believe our grads are getting the jobs already! We also incorporated this with our students taking the career development which introduces them to job search techniques. Thank you for all your help and support.” -Lorena Turner, Branford Hall Career Institute (Career Services)

"GoliathJobs is great. Within 5 minutes I was registered and had posted our positions. That same day we started seeing qualified applicants. I also appreciate the simple, user-friendly environment and spam-free communications. The fact that it is free makes it the perfect HR solution for any organization." -Van Morris, U.S. Microgrid (Employer)

"This is the best job search resource available! In addition to jobs posted on the site by employers everywhere, I can search all the job boards in one location. I recently landed a nursing internship which I am currently enjoying. Now, I am lining up interviews for a full-time job after graduation this May. All through GoliathJobs." -Jennifer Miller, California State University (Job Seeker)

“The thing I enjoy about GoliathJobs is that it gives a good profile of the individual and the school, even if I’m not familiar with them. It’s an added tool that the other (job) boards don’t have. I also like receiving e-mail alerts on who has responded to the job posts.” -Fred Gill, New York Metropolitan Transit Authority MTA (Employer)

"Other job boards don’t deliver the specific benefit that GoliathJobs does. Large job boards like Monster can be unwieldy and pretty unproductive. You can go to Monster and you look up account executive. You get tons of listings, but you can’t verify if they’re real jobs. I believe JobsOver50 will also be a hit since I have received requests from long-graduated alums looking for this type of service." -Judson Saviskas, Fairfield University Office of Alumni Relations (Alumni & Career Services)

"I just wanted to let you know that we are getting a lot out of your site. We have been promoting GoliathJobs to students as well as using it for our own information and job postings." -Krysti O'Rourke, Five Towns College (Career Services)

"I posted a bulletin directing all my friends to your site, all because of your employee Jennifer Porter. She was so amazing. She answered all my questions, helped me and did it in the most caring way. Usually my e-mails to companies are to complain but Mrs. Porter was so great that I thought she deserved the utmost respectively written letter of recognition. I hope she gets recognized for how she goes above and beyond her job duty to make your customers happy." -Kornelia Rybitwa, New York Institute of Technology Alumnus (Job Seeker)

"I have been promoting GoliathJobs to students on our career service portal. It pleases me to know that a majority of our students are pro-active in gaining information on internships and job opportunities available on your site. I am seeing the volume, it’s a wonderful thing! Thanks for the great site and the recommendations!" -Chris McMahon, Northwood University (Career Services)

"Thank you again for your visit. It was great. GoliathJobs is perfect for our faculty, staff and students!" -Kathy Trister, Gibbs College (Career Services)

"I cannot thank you enough for your kindness...it is truly, deeply appreciated. GoliathJobs will definitely now be my primary job search source. I am done with Monster! Thank you again, you are awesome!" -Andy Hensley, University of Detroit Mercy Alumnus(Job Seeker)

"GoliathJobs, an Excellent Idea! For North Americans looking for a job, especially those over fifty, GoliathJob’s sites are the place to go. You can advertise or find a job and it’s a free service for both parties. You can’t do much better than that!" -Robin Henry, EmploymentOne (Human Resources Specialist)

"I really appreciate the service you're offering for many reasons. We have opportunities for recent high school and college grads as well as current college students. Your service is fantastic! And the fact you offer job distribution is even more opportune." -Jennifer Francisco, VIPdesk (Employer)

"I really liked what I saw when I visited GoliathJobs.com. I am interested in expanding my postings to the schools and the other sites that you broadcast to. The more postings I can do the better. Thanks again for responding to me and the help you have given." -Alaina Toole, PharmaSource Temporary Pharmacy Services (Employer)

"Thanks for your effort again GoliathJobs! You have been by far the most helpful and courteous than any other job hunting website. It has occurred to me that, unlike the others, you actually read the emails I send. Also, I appreciate the fact that jobs are posted by employers directly on GoliathJobs and you have minimized third party sites. I love the fact that I get to check out the employer and their website prior to applying. Too many times I have wasted energy applying for a position to find out it would take over two hours one way to get there just because they don't want to mention what town the job is in. Albert Einstein once said 'I am afraid that technology may takeover humanity.' I see this daily. I'm glad to see that GoliathJobs is using the Internet as a tool and not a replacement for humanity!" -Eric Sumpter, Suffolk Community College Alumnus (Job Seeker)

"Mr. Mezzapelle, you have a high quality staff that exhibits amazing customer service. They should be commended for their courtesy, friendly attitude and follow through. People like these are pearls. I hope they get the recognition they deserve! GoliathJobs Support belongs in the category of 'above and beyond'. I appreciate the professional courtesy. I sincerely mean that. I've been shocked at the lack of courtesy shown while conducting a job search, so this has been a pleasant surprise." -Laura, Long Island NY (Job Seeker)

"Thank You GoliathJobs, you are AMAZING, you really care. The world needs more like you!" -Ruth Talaiver, Las Vegas NV (Job Seeker)

"Thank you very much for your support. I wanted to let you know that I had sent all of our students an email regarding GoliathJobs.com. One of the first students who went on to your site, and set up her profile, already has an interview this afternoon. She came to me and thanked me for sending the email. Our students are having success with your site and so far I have very positive feedback." -Tina Moyer, Lehigh Valley College (Career Services)

"The GoliathJobs Support Team walked us through different posting techniques and took the time to post our jobs at dozens of schools and alumni associations. I have never seen support like this from any company anywhere! Thank You GoliathJobs!" -Liza Grant, New York NY (Employer)

"Thank you so much. Your job search, tips and career news is VERY helpful. You’re awesome!" -Lori Ann Nolan, University of Phoenix Alumnus (Job Seeker)

"Thank you for all your services. We've been very impressed and will be sure to refer many people to you." -Yvette Vandiver, Prodigy Medical (Employer)

"With the kind help and assistance from your website, we were able to find a candidate who has proven excellent. We are very happy and wish to thank the staff at GoliathJobs for helping us out. We will be back with more requests I am sure!" -Tad Sendzimir, TSI Automation (Employer)
