Founded in 2008, during the financial crisis, Carlos Gil created JobsDirectUSA to aide mid to senior level professionals in their job search. Ironically, Gil launched the organization as a direct result of his own job loss in the financial sector. In the three years since, Gil has spearheaded over one hundred brick and mortar employment seminars and job fairs throughout the country. "The idea of hosting a virtual job fair which encompasses the entire country requires no travel and simply an internet connection, is one I have thought of for a long time," said Gil. "It’s the next step in getting America back to work in spite of recent unemployment statistics."
The America Hires initiative is a collaborative effort amongst hiring companies, and organizations, committed to helping America get back to work. Interested participants may register between now and December 31st at http://www.americahires360.com.
Job applicants are encouraged to check back daily for updated job listings, prospective employers may register anytime through the end of the year.
JobsDirectUSA is a community organization which assists professionals in career transition using social media as well as in-person events to connect candidates with prospective employers. In 2011, JobsDirectUSA was ranked #1 by the Jacksonville Business Journal amongst Employment Agencies in Northeast Florida.
