Westport, CT, December 30, 2009 — Career Solutions, an established Connecticut firm founded by Janice Weinberg, a nationally recognized career consultant and author, announces the opening of an office on Long Island at One Barstow Road in Great Neck. The office is a three-minute walk from the Long Island Railroad station, which is a 35-minute ride from Penn Station in New York City. With a longstanding international clientele, Career Solutions will continue to provide personalized service on a remote basis to individuals throughout the United States and abroad.

Janice Weinberg’s innovative ideas on career change and job-hunting have received coverage in The New York Times, Christian Science Monitor, Mademoiselle, and through leading online media, including money.cnn.com, eWEEK.com, networkworld.com and silicon.com. Her column, Janice Weinberg’s Career Clinic, was featured in publications serving healthcare and engineering professionals.

Weinberg’s books include:

• How to Win the Job You Really Want. Booklist’s review of the book said, “In the crowded field of job-hunting books, Weinberg’s guide stands out by successfully pulling together a wide range of useful information and offering it clearly and effectively.”

• Debugging Your Information Technology® Career. Weinberg describes 20 alternative fields that allow IT professionals seeking a change from traditional computer jobs to leverage their education and experience, while reducing their vulnerability to offshoring.

• Debugging Your Information Technology® Job Search. Written for computer industry managers and executives, this book is scheduled for early 2010 publication. It guides readers in creating resumes and letters highlighting IT-related accomplishments, and includes samples. Other features: novel ways to find unadvertised positions; strategies for devising impressive answers to IT interview questions; and compensation-negotiating techniques.

Before launching Career Solutions, Weinberg was employed at IBM and GE, where she held software development, marketing, strategic planning, and sales management positions. After leaving GE, she served on the adjunct faculty of its world-renowned Management Development Institute. Weinberg draws from her first-hand knowledge of corporate recruiting practices in advising professionals, middle managers, and executives through the CEO level of Fortune 1000 companies.

Career Solutions’ services include:

Career Coaching. In providing this service - geared toward individuals seeking a midlife career change - Weinberg applies her extensive knowledge of positions in the private, nonprofit, and public sectors to recommend options compatible with a client’s interests, strengths, and financial goals. Although clients who can complete an educational program will have the broadest range of occupational possibilities, there are many feasible options for those who prefer to leverage their existing experience and education to enter more rewarding fields.

Resume Development. As the key to opening the door to employment opportunities, the resume is a critical element in career advancement. Weinberg believes that the foundation for acquiring the information needed to create the strongest resume is an extensive interview - clients are never asked to complete worksheets or questionnaires.

Job-Search Strategies. Given the highly competitive environment, Weinberg believes job-seekers should proactively research and contact employers to maximize their access to opportunities - rather than relying on ads and networking. She works with each client to define screening criteria to identify employers and to determine the optimal method of approaching executives.

Interview Preparation. An interview in today’s competitive job market is a precious opportunity that demands thorough preparation. Weinberg has divided the interview process into ten distinct phases, guiding clients in techniques for excelling in each.

Details regarding these services, along with letters of appreciation from clients, can be found on the Career Solutions website. For further information, contact the Long Island office at 516-466-7799.
