Franchising World, September 2006

By Paul Rocchio

Last year, the International Franchise Association launched the highly-interactive IFA Career Center, on Franchise.org as www.franchise.org/careers. The association developed this tool to help take its members from graduation to retirement. There are currently 40 searchable jobs, 256 searchable resumes and 150 registered employers. IFA members can post a single job for one month for just $200.

If an organization is looking for a fast and easy way to fill an open position, check out the Career Center today. Step-by-step instructions help users to post a job in minutes, and special editing tools enable them to edit their announcement quickly and immediately. They’re guaranteed the announcement will be seen by qualified candidates—and lots of them. Scores of franchise professionals visit www.franchise.org/careers each day to browse listings or add their resumes to the database.

For those looking to make a career move, they can post their resumes to be searchable to employers or set up job-search notifications to have the latest jobs matching their criteria e-mailed directly to them. These benefits will help to increase their competitive advantage in the franchising community and their odds of landing the next great job, whether they are just starting out or well along in their careers.

Visit the IFA Career Center now to take advantage of one or all of these services.
