Increased demands for highly qualified research, advertising and marketing professionals has prompted the Advertising Research Foundation (ARF) to open its new Career Center, part in help as well to these professionals for job seeking.
“Our members tell us they’re looking to hire quality people with the skills, temperament and guts to handle today’s work and be effective in this uncertain, changing world. As bleak as the economy appears to many people, the fact is that great companies are hiring, and they look to the ARF community as the place for extraordinary people,” said Bob Barocci, the ARF’s president & CEO.
By visiting http://careers.thearf.org, employers and recruiters can utilize the ARF Career Center to reach the largest audience of research, advertising and marketing professionals, including members of the ARF. The ARF Career Center forms part of the Marketing Career Network (MCN), an association alliance of more than 100,000 research, advertising, marketing and sales professionals.
“The ARF Career Center should make job advertising–and job seeking–more targeted, more time-efficient, and more effective,” Barocci said.
The ARF Career Center will focus on the new jobs, responsibilities and skills necessary to drive the success of companies and the future of research, as well as provide information to employers and jobseekers on research trends and updates on the current employment climate within the industry.
