Quintessential Careers Spotlights Importance of Job-Seeker and Worker Accomplishments with New Content Section

Kettle Falls, WA, May 11, 2013 --(PR.com)-- With recent studies and career experts affirming that job-seeker accomplishments and results are far more important to employers than job duties, responsibilities, and functions, Quintessential Careers has launched a new section to assist candidates and workers in brainstorming, identifying, communicating, and leveraging their accomplishments in the job search and on the job.

"Career professionals have evangelized for years that accomplishments and results are at the heart of any successful effort to advance one's career," said Quintessential Careers' Founder and Publisher Dr. Randall S. Hansen, "yet, job-seekers and workers have been slow to grasp this message; they still produce resumes, cover letters, and other communications that emphasize duties and responsibilities, which do not impress employers.

"That's why we've added extensive content to Quintessential Careers," Hansen said. "We want to underscore how crucial it is for job-seekers to demonstrate achievements and results in all phases of the job search and on the job."

The new section's launch coincides with publication of You Are More Accomplished Than You Think: How to Brainstorm Your Achievements for Career and Life Success, by Katharine Hansen, Ph.D., associate publisher and creative director of Quintessential Careers. Some of the section's content is excerpted from the book.

The new accomplishments section includes these features and more:
