NEW JERSEY ENTREPRENEUR LAUNCHES CAREER CENTRAL
New Career Consulting Firm Sponsors Sept. 15 Career Conference For Professional Women Re-entering the Workforce
ENGLEWOOD, N.J. – July 25, 2008 - New Jersey entrepreneur and executive recruiter Julie Kampf has launched Career Central, a consulting firm that provides executive skill-building to job seekers from recent college graduates to senior-level managers and even professionals seeking a second or third career. The firm provides services both directly to individuals and to companies that want to maximize talent through leadership development, leadership coaching, high-potential coaching and diversity training. Kampf is also the founder of the award-winning retained executive search firm JBK Associates as well as the writing service It’s Just Write and the staffing company SummitSearchUS.
Career Central delivers personalized coaching from experienced faculty members who provide a self-assessment seminar and five customized toolkits: a resume toolkit, branding toolkit, marketing and communication toolkit, interviewing and negotiating toolkit and career change toolkit. The seminar and each toolkit are further tailored for job-seeking candidates at three levels: entry-level, professional level and executive level.
Career Conference for Women Rejoining the Workforce
Career Central kicks off with a series of career conferences beginning on Sept. 15 with a half-day “Back to School, Back to Work” conference for local professional women considering a return to the workforce. The event, which takes place at the Glenpointe Marriott in Teaneck, N.J, features workshops on personal branding, interviewing, networking and self-marketing as well as a panel of executives from well-known New Jersey-based companies who will discuss career opportunities, strategies for assimilation to their teams and workforce trends. Participants who register by Aug. 15 will be entered in a raffle for a personalized career package worth more than $2,000. Those who register as a group of four or more save 20 percent on the $25 conference fee. For more information or to register, contact Christine Incontro at 201-567-9070 or .
Research shows that 93 percent of highly qualified professional women who “opt out” want to rejoin the workforce. “In today’s competitive business environment, companies urgently need to re-engage the many exceptionally talented women who have taken an off-ramp,” says Kampf. “Career Central was formed to give these women and other professionals the tools they need to more successfully and easily re-enter the workforce. Together with JBK Associates and SummitSearch, we now offer a full spectrum of talent management services to individuals and companies.”
