Job search on the Internet is tedious and time consuming. The main obstacle in the path to job seekers’ success is the keyword search which is the starting point to virtually every online job search. Due to its limitations, job seekers are led to waste much time with job postings that have little or no relevance for them. A new online job search program, KRAZOOM, replaces the keyword search field with an extensive catalog of standard requirements frequently used by employers in job postings. These include education, certifications, licenses and skills.

Henning Seip of SkillProof, Inc. will show demonstrate Krazoom and show job seekers how to save significant time when searching and applying for jobs, find jobs that really match their education and skills, review new, matching jobs every day, improve their cover letters and resume so that employers will find them more quickly and publish their profile to enable a guaranteed evaluation by employers and executive search firms
