FEBRUARY 12, 2020

Topic:              How to Identify & Research Target Companies Using ReferenceUSA

Speakers:        Mike Ray, Vice President/Director Marketing & Product Management

                        Kipp Lifson, Vice President/Director Data Privacy & Compliance Consultant

Data in the Career Search Network have shown that it is better for job seekers to network into potential companies for their next career positions than to spend time submitting applications on “job boards.” How do job seekers find these companies?  Where do they find information about these potential companies?     

Messrs. Lifson and Ray have developed a workshop on how to “Identify & Research Target Companies” using ReferenceUSA. Through this easy-to-use platform, ReferenceUSA provides users access to company information which is beneficial to job seekers.  This tool is free from many local libraries in the DFW Metroplex.   Since the beginning of the new year, Messrs. Lifson and Ray have presented on the best practices contained in their workshop to over 225 people in six Career Search Network groups in the DFW Metroplex.  The “Identify & Research Target Companies” workshop is designed to empower job seekers to identify potential companies for their next career success.  Messrs. Lifson and Ray have used the power provided by ReferenceUSA to research companies in their own career transitions and are now sharing these “best practices” with workshop attendees.  Messrs. Lifson and Ray advise that many who have already attended the “Identify & Research Target Companies” workshop consider it to be a “must attend” for job seekers.  Mr. Ray’s LinkedIn profile: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mikeray8116.  Mr. Lifson’s LinkedIn profile: https://www.linkedin.com/in/klifson.
