FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
National Career Experts Begin 10-College Tour as Part
Of 10-Year Celebration of Empowering Job-Seekers
(QUINTESSENTIAL CAREERS: DeLand, FL) – College students at 10 colleges around the state of
Florida will soon be seeing the Quintessential Careers team of experts talking on such issues as
resumes, interviewing, internships, career passion, networking, and more.
“Our goal is to mark our site’s 10th anniversary by going back to our roots -- going back to what we
did before we placed all the information on the Web, and that’s talking with students face-to-face in
a series of workshops at colleges around the state,” said Randall S. Hansen, Ph.D., founder of
Quintessential Careers, and a professor of marketing at Stetson University, DeLand, FL.
Along with the workshops, many colleges will also encounter the Quintessential Careers 10th Anniversary RV.
“More important than the tour or the RV,” said Hansen, “is the further growth of the site to include
about 3,000 pages of free content that includes articles, tutorials, checklists, tests, and more --
all written to empower job-seekers to follow their passion and lead successful lives.”
Visitors to the site will find more than 350 articles and tutorials on all aspects of job-hunting, from career
exploration to job offer negotiation included in the 3,000 pages that comprise the site. The site also reviews
and links to more than 1,400 job boards and company career centers, including job sites in all industries
and located in the U.S. and around the world. Visitors will also find career information on writing cover
letters and resumes, mastering job interviews, and negotiating salaries. The QuintZine newsletter
keeps subscribers current on college, career, and job-hunting trends while listing all the latest
additions to the site.
In addition to teaching marketing at Stetson University and serving as Webmaster of Quintessential
Careers and publisher of QuintZine, Randall Hansen also writes a weekly career advice column under the name
The Career Doctor (http://www.careerdoctor.org/), and is co-author of the cover letter bible, Dynamic Cover Letters,
now in its third edition. Katharine Hansen, creative director of Quintessential Careers, is the co-author of
Dynamic Cover Letters and author of Dynamic Cover Letters for New Graduates and
A Foot in the Door: Networking Your Way into the Hidden Job Market.
Quintessential Careers is the main site in a network of career-related sites, including: MyCareerBlast.com,
CareerDoctor.org, and Quintessential Resumes and Cover Letters, among others. Quintessential Careers
has received more than 100 awards and honors, been recognized in numerous career books and magazines,
and welcomed the praises of career counselors, job-seekers, and employers from throughout the U.S.
and around the world.
