Help for the Job Search

With the tremendous number of people who are unemployed and that number exponentially growing, I felt that we should do something to help.

While brainstorming at the Carrot Patch, we came up with a “
Resume Kit” to provide a necessity that everyone looking for a job would appreciate.

These kits consist of high quality paper and envelopes and job hunting resources.

The first kit consists of 25 sheets of paper to have a good copy to take to an interview. For those who want to send their resumes by mail, the second kit consists of 15 sheets of paper and 5 envelopes.

  • In addition, we are including the link to our blog where we have provided a list of job hunting websites that may be of interest. This puts a lot of job search resources in one listing so that the job hunter doesn’t have to try to dig them up for themselves. We were able to work a partnership with a local recruiter we met at a Dallas Tweetup – Craig Fisher (@fishdogs), who owns a local recruitment company called A-list Solutions. Through this blog, you will be able to download his Interview Prep e-Book.

  • Finally, we are including a coupon for 25% Off Carrot Brand Inkjet cartridges, which is a deep discount on our already low prices.

  • At the end of the day, there is little or no profit to us in these kits, since our intention is not to try to make money on the backs of the unemployed. We just want to help them with the resources they need to land that new job.

If you are reading this and are unemployed, you may want to see our other blogs on job hunting. But in any event, the best of luck in your job search. If you are not unemployed, please pass this on to someone you may know who is.
