In December 2009, most of the 12 industries identified by indeed.com were down compared to last year in terms of hiring needs. Ahead and with a positive trend we can see the Retail, Hospitality and Education industries. Behind are without surprise the Construction and Real Estate industries.

Edouard Thoumyre, ACCUR’s Founder and alumni of HEC Paris – #1 European Business School is invited on Thursday January 14th, 2010 to be a guest speaker at the yearly HEC career fair (Forum de l’Association).
We will talk about the economical situation and employment market trends in the United States. We will provide insights to job seekers willing to work abroad:
- Why the United States?
- How to prepare you career plan?
- How to start searching for career opportunities?
- How to contact?
- How to use Social Media in your job hunting strategy (linkedin)?
- What are the management cultural differences between the US and Europe?
- How to assess your strengths?
- etc…
This year the HEC Career Fair holds many conferences and workshops in English, so that it opens itself even more towards international business. In addition the HEC MBA students and alumni, who are non-French speaking for a vast majority will have the opportunity to be fully involved in every event.
Hopefully this will help keeping on building even more the HEC brand and reputation among American companies.
Thanks to Catherine Boris-Portuondo, Accur is part of the headlines of the web magazine FrenchMorning.com famous among the French community in the US.
The article is an interview in French of ACCUR’s CEO and Executive Recruiter, Edouard Thoumyre about the current situation of the employment market and the history of his Executive Search firm.
FrenchMorning.com recently opened its activity in Miami after gaining a large readership in New York. Watch them closely, there are about to open other major cities in the US.
If you have already connected with us on Social Media such as Facebook, Linkedin or Twitter for the purpose of looking for a job, it is a great way to stay updated with our job opportunities, job hunting tips and employment market news.
But you have to keep in mind that this won’t make us call you for a job unless you have also sent us your resume or applied to one of our jobs on our Job Board. I see many people connecting with me on these social media tools or social networks asking me to keep them in mind when a good opportunity arise matching their previous experiences and professional skills.
With all the good will in the world, it is not possible to keep everyone in mind, this is why recruitment firms use ATS (Applicants Tracking System) to sort, search and select the best candidates for each job. If you are not is our Applicant Tracking System, you are loosing a lot of chances to be contacted.
People are sometimes embarrassed or find it too aggressive to contact Executive Recruiters or any employment agencies with an email including their resume. They sometimes think is it more appropriate or polite to ask for the permission to submit it later on. The truth is that there is a chance your initial email will not be considered and you will then never get this permission.
Executive Search firms and recruitment agencies work all the same. They are contacted by so many people that you, as a candidate, need to be very clear and striking upfront. It is right that we want to make sure you can be polite, but it is not enough!!! We need to know right away what are your skills and previous experiences and obviously it is always a plus (or an obligation) to be polite.
ALWAYS attach your resume when contacting a recruiter for the first time!
