The New Suit: A Communication Talent Resource

I have been in the works of a new direction for The Suit this past week since Monday. I have been transforming the site to support that new direction. Hopefully by the end of the week you will see the end results.

I am bringing on additional unpaid contributors.  I had been using this site for my own purpose of exercising my writing and showing developed work so I can use this as my own portfolio.  I figured that if this is helping me why not others?  I decided to make this change because of the problem America faces in finding jobs.

It is not acceptable anymore to fill out a job application or to send employers your resume, face it, if it does not have key words or phrases that computers are programed to see, if the computers can read it, then you are out of luck.  Employers are receiving hundreds of applications and don't have to time to really care about hiring you.

For Communication majors, on average, it takes 1-2 years to find employment, some reports are also saying 5 years.  That is too long for gained talent to waste while finding work, if in the field you want.  Since employers have evolved therefore, we need to evolve.

The-Suit.com is now for those who specialize in the Communication field.  Whether for journalism, Film, Advertising, Public Relations, Theory, etc., The-Suit.com is open for free lance writing, and posting your talent with video editing, magazine covers, etc.

Use The-Suit.com as if it were your current job.  Exercise current talents and use this site to gain new ones.  When applying for jobs, include your personal URL that will be provided with all your work to show.  Also, The-Suit.com will work hard over the summer to get employers to notice this site for potential employment.

Much more will come, in the mean time this is what we will start with.  Make this the one stop resource for employers.

Interested?  E-mail dgpehrson@the-suit.com to learn how to apply.

Changing My Suit

This has been an exciting weekend for me.  I had been in the works for an extra credit assignment but turned to a new business plan.  I had been wanting to make something out of The Suit and always knew it would take time.  Who knew that great ideas can come from this site alone?  I will make an announcement that will explain the new direction.  This can change the way you apply for a job.
