Freehold resident Marc LeVine's Facebook Job Search and Career Advice Forum Approaches 7000 Members

Looking for a New Job? Interested in a New Career? Want to Do Better at Work and Earn Promotions and Raises? Join our Free Group!

Former Freehold Borough Councilman President Marc LeVine, has always had an interest in helping people find good jobs. In fact, he graduated with a degree in Industrial Psychology (Human Resources) from Syracuse University and spent the next 38 years covering all bases in the employment field. Marc has always followed his passion for matching good people with good jobs and careers.

Marc's career has taken him through the fast-paced competitive world of New York City employment agencies; the more professional and refined executive search industry; post-secondary education career and placement services; C-suite roles in a national staffing organization as well as a regional one; corporate human resources directorships; and his own recruiting and social media marketing company headquartered in the Borough of Freehold for more than 12 years. Marc currently heads recruiting for one of his former business clients - a major Real Estate Developer and Property Management Company in Piscataway - Edgewood Properties. He has learned many things about the world of employment over the years and now wants to share what he has learned with others.

Today, Marc finds that his past experience is diverse and has been concentrated into a powerful jobs and careers engine. The power of this engine is pointed directly at helping others avoid many of the mistakes made by poorly informed job seekers, career explorers and workers already on the job.

So what is it all about?

Millions of people lose their jobs every month. If you are the one who has just lost your job, knowing you aren’t alone isn’t much consolation. The good news is that millions of people also land new jobs every month, and you will join that group, too!

Not having a clear target for that next job is a major roadblock for a successful job search. Jumping on to every job board and applying for every job seems to be an automatic response, but that response is usually an exercise in futility.

Step back from the situation for a few hours or a day to look at the “big picture” in your career. You will save yourself much future frustration and wasted time by spending some time looking at your career from a different perspective than day-to-day survival.

WELCOME to group "Jobs and Careers Advice Forum" at https://www.facebook.com/groups/careersandjobs/ created to help people succeed in the job market and once employed. We'll offer helpful tips, share "how to articles" and discuss many ways to give YOU an edge in locating and securing great employment opportunities, as well as building a rewarding career for yourself. Those of us not currently seeking employment can help by advising others who are - PAY IT FORWARD.
Please tell your family and friends about this group and suggest that join, so they can benefit, too! IN FACT, on the right side of the screen you can ADD OTHERS to the group, yourself.

Please join us if you are looking for a new job; hoping to enhance your career; and or are among those of us, who have vast employment related experience and just want to help others in need. https://www.facebook.com/groups/careersandjobs/
