Q. What is CareerLinks?
A. CareerLinks is The PGA of America's complimentary em-
ployment referral service that notifies PGA Professionals
about employment opportunities that meet their employment
preferences and qualifications.
The most valuable part of CareerLinks is the team of regional
PGA Employment Services Consultants, whose goal is to
serve as the official hiring resource for industry employers.
Complimentary services provided by the Consultants through
CareerLinks include needs analysis, compensation statistics,
hiring process assistance, hiring tools, an employment refer-
ral service and much more.
The second most valuable component of CareerLinks is the
state-of-the art, web-based database that contains valuable
employment information for more than 16,500 active PGA
Professionals. Information includes work history, operational
experience and future employment preferences.
Q. How do PGA Professionals Enroll in
CareerLinks?
A. To enroll in CareerLinks, PGA Professionals must com-
plete their PGA CareerLinks Profile and indicate that they
wish to participate in CareerLinks. To remain active in Ca-
reerLinks, PGA Professionals are required to update their
information every two years. Once enrolled in the program,
PGA Professionals will be notified about employment oppor-
tunities that match their employment preferences and an
employer's search criteria.
PGA EMPLOYMENT SERVICES Q. How does CareerLinks Work?
A. PGA Employment Services Consultants work with employ-
ers to help them determine the skills and experience that
would best qualify candidates for the position. Once the
search criteria are determined, the information is entered into
the CareerLinks database. CareerLinks instantaneously
searches through the database of "ProFiles," and identifies
PGA Professionals who meet the search criteria.
Identified Professionals are notified via e-mail about the posi-
tion. If they are interested and wish to apply, they are request-
ed to visit a Web site to retrieve the job application infor-
mation. It is important that PGA Professionals register for the
position by indicating, "SENDING RESUME," if they intend to
apply. Those who register as a CareerLinks applicant then
forward their cover letter and resume to the employer.
The employer screens and interviews candidates and makes
a hiring decision.
PGA Employment Consultants
The PGA has Employment Consultants who serve as the
employment resource for PGA Professionals in their respec-
tive regions. Their mission is to positively impact PGA Profes-
sionals’ careers, assist employers, foster win-win employment
relationships and promote the hiring of PGA members.
