As the working population grows, competition increases. That's one
reason many job-seekers entrust professionals with the task of mapping
career strategies.
Sometimes it’s not enough to
know you’re the best. You’ve got to
make someone else believe it. More
and more people, it seems, are en­
trusting their career strategy to
professionals who have the experi­
ence and contacts to do it right.
A wider choice of jobs are availa­
ble to those who visit a personnel
consulting firm, experts agree.
That’s one reason why more people
seeking jobs—in fields ranging
from entry level to executive—do
just that. Personnel consulting
firms are used both by employers
who wish to fill a position and job­
seekers who wish to find them.
For job seekers, the benefits of
using a professional firm are many.
Personnel consultants evaluate in­
terests and talents and offer advice
about how best to use them. They
conduct in-depth interviews of can­
didates and administer approp­
riate tests to check job skills and
check references. The candidate is
informed about current openings in
the field of choice. Interviews then
are arranged with appropriate em­
ployers.
The personnel consultant also of­
fers advice on resume preparation,
appearance, how to interview and
all the other steps and details
necessary to secure a new position.
The term personnel consulting
firm covers several types of
businesses:

Labor Secretary B rock U rges Greater Training in
Skills for M inorities to O ffset Shortages
WASHINGTON, D C. - Predicting
a serious shortage of skilled workers in
the United States in the near future, the
U.S. Secretary of Labor, William E.
Brock, recently urged more intensive
and effective training of minorities to
help fill the shortage.
Brock was the keynote speaker for the
Corporate Awards Breakfast at the Hyatt
Regency Hotel, pan of the Minority En­
terprise Development Week (MED
Week) activities.
He said that America was moving
rapidly from a system of “ manual, or
sweat-based, employment to a system of
mind, or skills-based, employment."
This condition. Brock said, should en­
courage America to provide better basic
education and skills training for its
young people than is currently availa­
ble.
Sixty percent of the new jobs created
during recent years have been “ in the
highest skilled categories," Brock said,
while noting that the nation was already
experiencing serious shortages in some
professional and technical areas.
The Secretary of Labor also sug­
gested long-term solutions for the
skilled worker shortage that included
creating more effective school systems
at all levels for all Americans. He urged
parents to become more active in local
schools and to hold school officials ac­
countable for improving education.
The breakfast, a high point in the
four-day series of meetings, workshops
and discussions, sponsored by the Mi­
nority Business Development Agency
(MBDA), also included the presentation
of 10 Corporate Awards to major busi­
ness organizations by the MBDA. The
awards recognize the corporations’
“ dedication, enthusiasm, cooperation
and distinguished service in promoting
minority businesses.”
Stanley S. Scott, Vice President, Di­
rector of Corporate Relations and As­
sistant to the Chairman. Philip Morris
Companies Inc ., accepted the Corporate
Award for Philip Morris.
Scott said: "The Secretary of Labor
was right on the mark in encouraging the
growth of minority businesses as a
means of combating the skills shortage,
by providing employment opportunities
and on-the-job training. In the several
years that Philip Morris has done busi­
ness with minority firms, we have seen
much evidence that this is so.”
MED Week is observed during the
first full week of October to recognize
the more than 840,000 minority business
persons in the United States.
t
James H. Richardson Gonzales, Di­
rector of the MBDA. told MED Week
participants that "the entrepreneurial
spirit has captured the imagination of
many of our nation’s minority entrepre­
neurs." He said that more than 240,000
new minority-owned businesses were
established during the last five years.

of Corporate Relations and Assistant to the Chairman, Philip Morris Companies
Inc., (right) accepts a Corporate Award for the promotion of minority businesses,
from Director of the Minority Business Development Agency (MBDA). James H.
Richardson Gonzales. Philip Morris was one of 10 corporations receiv ing awards
during recent M E D Week observances in Washington, D .C . Scott noted that the
company ’s long-time support of minority businesses has been “ good Tor Philip
