Career College Jobs Resume Submission - Is My Confidentiality Assured?

If you are gainfully employed in a career college job presently, should you be afraid to submit your resume to a contingency or retained search recruiting firm? The simple answer is this. No. The majority of executive search recruiting firms have been in business for a long time. This shows stability and security on their part, allowing you to be confident that they conduct their businesses professionally. If they didn't go to great means to protect your confidentiality, they would be out of business today.

Once you submit your resume to a search firm, regardless of whether you are submitting it for a career college job or any other type of position, the search firm immediately goes to work matching your background with potential employers. The correct way for a search firm to respond is this: once they receive your resume, they will acknowledge receipt of it. After that, they will see if they have any current positions they are working on that could be a good fit for both you and for their client. If so, they will contact you by phone to discuss a specific opportunity. It's a good idea to provide a private email address and a phone number, possibly a cell phone number that is not connected to your present employer so the two of you can communicate confidentially.

Once the position is discussed, you can decide what to do from there. The true professional headhunter will not pass your background along to a client until you are aware of the details of the position and have given permission to the search firm to proceed.

If your background is not a match for any of the positions the search firm is working on presently, then your resume will go on file. This isn't a bad thing. Search firms take on new positions daily or weekly and as such, you will be the first to be made aware of something that might provide a good career advancement step for you if you are already on file.

The number of career college jobs has declined slightly in this economy and there are still specific needs. It's a good idea to remain aware of what is available just in case. It doesn't cost you anything to take a look and, if you don't think a position is right for you, perhaps you know of someone else it might be perfect for.

Director of Admissions Positions (DOA) Available on Career College Jobs

March/April 2009, we have the following Director of Admissions (DOA) positions available. If you would like more information regarding specifics, please email me confidentially with your questions at maddunn@aol.com and my partner Brad and/or I will get back to you promptly.

Compensation is almost always based on experience and current earnings for any Career college job. Compensation shouldn't be the only factor in your decision to look at another opportunity, but our rule of thumb is this: unless you are out of work or are very dissatisfied in your present position, you should expect at least some increase in salary when changing jobs, especially if you are required to relocate. The economy is dictating that this is an employers market, but even so the employers are still offering fair wages. Salaries are always discussed in face to face interviews but we would not present your background to a client where you would be taking a pay cut unless you know those details up front.

In addition, we talk with you first before presenting your background to a client. We don't just send resumes without your permission. If your director of admissions search is confidential, please keep it that way. Don't tell your coworkers or your boss that you were contacted by a "headhunter" as that will only alert them and place doubt in their minds. We are professionals and will do everything to protect your confidential inquiry.

1. Director of Admissions needed (DOA) in Rochester, NY. This DOA would oversee all adult admissions on two campuses. This position is available immediately.
