Combating an increasingly intimidating job market, one company is offering the ultimate gift for graduates–the guarantee of a job in 60 days or less.
Blue Chip Exec, a job search company, has combined the use of technology with gift-giving in order to create Career Gift Cards that friends and families of graduates can purchase for $79.99. Along with a six month access to the company’s job search system, the gift card also includes CEO and founder of Blue Chip Exec Scott Langmack’s book “The Fast Track to Your Ideal Job.”
Despite a Rasmussen Report which found that 88 percent of Americans think that it will be at least slightly difficult for college graduates to find a job, Blue Chip Exec has enough confidence in its ability to find the perfect job for graduates with its unique programming, that its website also promises to instill confidence and clarity on career goals for users as well. Thecompany even offers a full cash refund if the recipient does not in fact find that dream job within the 60 day time frame.
Blue Chip Exec is also contending against a brutal reality in which half of recent college graduates are either unemployed or underemployed at jobs not representative of their degrees.
Users of Blue Chip Exec must purchase a guaranteed membership plan as well as distribute résumés to recommended sites and people, send at least 100 outreach emails to various companies, and meet with at least 30 personal contacts in order to be refunded money in the event that the ideal job is not to be found.
“Jobs are about people, not computers, and no one was ever hired by a computer,” Blue Chip Exec’s website explains. “So we let computers deal with computers, so people can spend time with people.”
The company creates a plan with a to-do list for the user, hosts and provides the user’s résumé, updates the résumé as needed and introduces the user to job recruiting firms. All the user must do is create a master profile, engage in job conversations on the site daily, and follow the coaching advice for 10 minutes per day.
