GoSavant Launches First Virtual Career Training Marketplace to Offer Video-Based Learning, Live Career Coaching and Job Resources

Posted on: Tuesday, 28 July 2009, 08:00 CDT

CHICAGO, July 28 /PRNewswire/ -- GoSavant, the only career training marketplace that offers video-based learning, live career coaching, and job resources, launched its Web site to the public today. GoSavant is the first virtual training marketplace to offer individuals and businesses a cutting-edge platform to facilitate learning through high-quality, interactive video-based courses, and real-time live coaching.

As the United States unemployment rate approaches a staggering 10 percent, more and more people are looking for affordable, engaging, and easy-to-navigate career training tools and resources. GoSavant addresses this need by offering video-based courses and enabling real-time personal feedback through live coaching. GoSavant also offers a variety of content focused on career improvement including instructional advice, workbooks, and assessment tools.

"Our goal with GoSavant is to create a single destination for low-cost, proven, and practical career management tools," said GoSavant President and Founder Nitin Vernekar. "GoSavant.com is the only online marketplace where job seekers can steer away from text-heavy job training resources and tackle their career-related challenges with the ease of video-based learning and live coaching from excellent career training experts."

Created by an experienced team of career coaches, an award-winning public speaker, producers, and an author of career management books, GoSavant's video courses are designed to address a specific need during these tough economic times, and are delivered in an entertaining, accessible, and practical fashion that will resonate with job seekers. GoSavant's premier offering, Job Search - The Knock 'em Dead Way, was created by and features New York Times best-selling author and globally acknowledged career expert Martin Yate, C.P.C.

The Job Search course guides users to take effective and time-tested steps from the very start of a job search through building resumes that actually work, conducting the most productive job search techniques, turning interviews into job offers, and making a success of the new job, all while simultaneously teaching valuable long-term career strategies. The course is also advantageous for businesses as a value-add for severance packages and termination processes. In the near future, GoSavant will offer a vast collection of courses that will help job seekers address challenges and make the most of their careers.

"There are plenty of job training resources available on the Internet, but most of them lack a real grasp of the critical issues that determine whether we eat lobster or Hamburger Helper," said Martin Yate, C.P.C., New York Times best-selling author and career management guru. "Up until now, there hasn't been a single destination where job seekers and businesses could tap into rock solid, practical advice on career navigation. GoSavant is producing content that has proven to be instrumental in career success -- no one else is doing this."

GoSavant also offers personalized coaching with career experts across numerous disciplines, offering users an opportunity to obtain live feedback on interviews, resumes, or any other individual career improvement inquiry. Coaches can be contacted for impromptu coaching sessions via webcam when they are online, or users can schedule appointments at their convenience.

As part of today's launch, GoSavant issued an official call for submissions to fill the company's Community Manager position. GoSavant is looking for an innovative and eager social media master and "people person" with exceptional interaction skills and a strong background in social media and online community relations. The GoSavant Community Manager will be responsible for all day-to-day community relations on GoSavant.com and building an audience for the GoSavant brand across various social networks.
