Cincinnati’s Premier PR Firm Develops Mentoring, Jobs and Volunteer Bank

The Eisen Agency Continues to Lead in Job Development, Networking and Professional Growth

Cincinnati, OH – January 24, 2012 – In an effort to continue spurring job and professional growth, Cincinnati’s premier public relations firm, The Eisen Agency, has formalized a comprehensive program to develop young professionals and spur private sector job creation. Agency president Rodger Roeser says the most important thing business leaders can do is to help find ways to mentor young professionals and ensure they have the necessary skills to find, keep and prosper at a job.

“What I see is all too often, college graduates continue to enter the workforce and lack even certain basic skills needed to excel in a professional work setting,” Roeser says. “Sometimes simple things like work ethic, appearance and social skills, and other times tactical skills such as writing, business development and organization. I believe we have a responsibility to help young men and women become desired professionals in various professions, and I believe that begins with mentoring and fostering connections.”

The program is affectionately dubbed the “Cult of the Blue Tongue,” an organization that will help match mentors and mentees, job opportunities with job seekers, and volunteers with organizations. Roeser encourages involvement from the business and non-profit communities, and asks them to submit mentoring interest and availability, jobs and volunteer needs to Info@TheEisenAgency.com for posting at www.CultOfTheBlueTongue.wordpress.com.

Check the site often for new opportunities, as well as dates for professional development seminars, matchmaking, resume development and job fair events.

“Right now, we need mentors, job seekers and those looking to fill positions to send us information,” Roeser explained. “We’ll organize, share and begin making these connections quickly. The mentoring, combined with the professional development and connections we believe will significantly raise the success level of job seekers and those needing to fill positions with a more qualified and engaged young professional workforce.“
