MCKENZIE SCOTT SUGGESTS: ASK YOURSELF THE MAGIC QUESTION - WHO WILL HIRE YOU, AND WHY?

DENVER, CO - May 15, 2003 /Send2Press Newswire/ -- McKenzie Scott, the Denver-based nationwide firm that provides a variety of technological and personal resources to those seeking jobs over $75K, has one piece of basic advice for job seekers at any level -- Always keep in mind what kind of firm is likely to hire you, and why.

Dennis Johnston, Senior Managing Partner at McKenzie Scott in Pittsburgh, maintains that this simple rule will keep people from making a lot of common mistakes. "If they kept this in mind while creating their resume, most people would leave out a third of what they included, and add half a dozen different things. In their letters and emails, they'd be a lot more specific about how they could contribute," Johnston observes.

"Instead of talking about themselves and their experience, they'd start out talking about the employer's challenge and opportunities, and they'd show they know something about that employer and their industry. When they choose companies and organizations to contact, they'd select those that are most likely to need their talents, and contact individuals directly responsible for hiring someone with their skills."

Johnston's firm reviews the materials of thousands of job seekers every month, and using dozens of websites, gathers information about their job search activities, achievements or lack of them, as well as personal strengths and priorities.

McKenzie Scott is the nation's leading firm in providing technology and team resources to assist professional, managerial, and executive job seekers. Their services are described at www.mckenziescott.com.
