Preparing candidates for full-time employment with small employers: a research study

Article Abstract:

Career service practitioners predict more job opportunities in small businesses and underline efforts to create awareness of small organization employment among candidates. A survey of college and university career center directors reveals that communication skills and teamwork are essential for securing jobs with small employers. Career resources such as books, tapes and directories are used to prepare candidates for such jobs. While many respondents claimed contact with small business associations, only 41% reported employer development efforts in this direction.
