MELBOURNE, Florida—Paxen Learning is
providing job seekers with a new weapon in their arsenal of job-search tools. EmployMentor™, an online work-readiness guide developed by the company’s publishing division, provides job seekers with much-needed comprehensive instruction and hands-on practice in seeking and securing employment, standing out in a competitive job market, and succeeding in the workplace.

The nine-chapter, web-based instructional guide and tutorial provides an accelerated and targeted approach that spotlights strategies to help job seekers identify career interests and opportunities, write and customize résumés and cover letters, properly prepare for interviews, develop negotiation skills, and excel in a chosen career field. Material in EmployMentor™ fully correlates to the nationally recognized Equipped for the Future adult education standards, which form the backbone of the National Work Readiness Credential.

Currently available as a resource for National Guard soldiers seeking civilian employment opportunities through the Guard’s Job Connection Education Program in Texas, EmployMentor™ will be used in a variety of Paxen’s work-readiness and life skills-development programs throughout the United States.

“In today’s highly competitive workforce environment, it is crucial that job seekers understand and properly use all the resources available to them to stand out amid a crowd of job applicants—and EmployMentor™ addresses this need,” said Doug Merlin, Chief Operations Officer, Paxen. “We’re very excited to introduce EmployMentor™. This online tool provides excellent insights into best practices and is designed to readily support job seekers of all skill levels and backgrounds.”

Topics covered in EmployMentor™ include an overview of the job-search process, in-depth instruction about how to write clear and concise résumés and cover letters, a comprehensive overview of the interview process and best practice techniques to use during the actual interview, details on post-interview protocols including insights and strategies related to salary and benefit negotiations, and strategies to help new employees succeed in the workplace and advance in their chosen careers. Each chapter of EmployMentor™ features easy-to-understand instructions, essential concepts, best-practices strategies, hands-on tutorials and activities, and appropriate supporting information.

Upon successful completion of each chapter, job seekers gain valuable workforce knowledge and proven strategies, and create immediately relevant materials—such as résumés and cover letters—for use in the job-search process.
