iHeartMedia’s Black Information Network (BIN) and CareerBuilder are expanding their initial “100,000 Careers” initiative that the two parties announced in May. The partnership will now provide BIN listeners with a free 45-minute career coaching session.
As a result, job seekers can now meet with an expert in their field and receive individually tailored suggestions and actionable feedback to help boost their career growth.
“The Black Information Network and CareerBuilder are committed to giving job seekers the tools and resources they need to stand out from the crowd,” Tony Coles, Division President for iHeartMedia Multiplatform Group and BIN President, said in a release, per Inside Radio.
“These sessions help match job seekers and experts to help you prepare for your interview. We are excited to offer this service to get one step closer to helping 100,000 listeners find the career of their dreams.”
Furthermore, during the one-on-one session, job seekers can ask questions, recognize strengths, and work to determine a career path that suits their necessities.
“We see the value and unlimited potential of Black workers and are thrilled to offer this hyper-customized experience in hopes that the community will receive practical feedback relevant to their industry to help them either find a job filled with purpose or grow into their current role,” Kristin Kelley, Chief Marketing Officer at CareerBuilder added.
“Careers start with mentors and support, which is why expert coaching is one of the many ways that the 100,000 Careers initiative can transform the way job seekers find a role.”
