Three Reasons to Outsource Your Academic Job Applications

Do you need hired help? When fair pay and respect for time and expertise are the basis of the exchange, hired help can make everything from washing and folding laundry to spring cleaning less stressful. Outsourcing your job applications is in the same vein. Most working people are too busy to properly search for a new or better job. The special application demands of colleges and universities make that doubly true for academic job seekers.

Professor Services at The Babb Group provides services that help job seekers with the help they need whether it’s a single á la carte service, or a package that manages the whole process from CV and cover letter creation through to an invitation to interview.

Here are three reasons why hired help is so valuable to academic job seekers:
1. Save Time
It takes hours of scouring the internet to find the perfect job listing. The highly specific nature of application forms can become frustratingly repetitive when each job asks for the same information for its unique applications portal.

Rachel Gramann, a programming industry expert who now teaches full time agrees. Gramann is one of Professor Service’s great success stories.

“They have helped me with job leads and their application services. Applying for jobs, even if it is one course, is a time-consuming process and it’s frustrating when application sites want exactly the same information all time. So, it’s better for me to let them take care of it while I focus on my teaching and being available to my students,” said Rachel.

When someone else is filling out your applications or looking for leads for you, you are better able to focus on your family, the job you have, and other important aspects of your life. Outsourcing applications also gives you the time to focus on preparing for interviews.
1. Make a Wise Investment
The best investment you will ever make is in yourself. Hired help with your academic job search is an investment that pays off in more income.

Sometimes the only thing preventing a candidate from moving forward in their career is their CV. It’s very difficult to strike the right balance between being too modest about accomplishments and coming across as a braggart. An experienced CV writer can look at their clients’ accomplishments, work history and character traits with objectivity and write accordingly.

Dr. Bonnie Jones-Jackson hired Professor Services to write her CV.

“Within three months of finishing my CV with Babb, I got a job with Kansas Kids @GearUp,” she said.

Jones-Jackson is not alone in her success with a CV from Professor Services. Other clients have been very pleased with the work and the result.

“It was so detailed. Their writer did a very thorough job. I was invited to lots of interviews and received several job offers,” said Shenita D. Talton, a former government employee who now works as a mathematics and statistics professor.
1. Keep Track
Keeping track of where you’ve applied for jobs, as well as the number of jobs applied to can itself be daunting and time-consuming. Professor Services monitors the positions, points of contact, dates and other essential information used to measure success. Since it can take 100 applications for a first-time instructor to get an invitation to interview, tracking and refining job search materials based on results is essential.
