Once laid off by AIG, now devoted to “Saving America One Job at a Time”
How a 25-year old CEO plans to become a “voice of reason” for those laid-off and provide a resource to millions of unemployed Americans through his website JobsDirectUSA.com.
By: Carlos Gil, Founder of JobsDirectUSA.com
Eight years ago I was a high school dropout, with a GED, working part-time as a shoe salesman with limited career options and a ton of initiative.Since then I have gone on to work for Fortune 500 corporations such as Citigroup, Regions Financial and AIG where I have succeeded in various Branch and Client Management roles. In fact at my last employer, AIG, I was a Regional Sales Manager covering a three state territory, over 50 offices, and even had a company vehicle. Through the fundamentals that I call “The 5 P’s of Success” (Persistence, Passion, Persuasion, Perseverance and Personality) I’ve been able to overcome many obstacles along the way to become a successful young executive and entrepreneur. Today I run my own corporation and I am proud to call myself a CEO, rather than unemployed.
On November 6th 2008, just 6 weeks after AIG was given $150 billion, in a “bailout” loan, by the government, my position at American General Finance was terminated. With an 8-month pregnant wife and a 2 year old son, I was now, like millions of other Americans, out of a job and unemployed. However, on November 6th as one door closed in my career another quickly opened as I was now determined to jump into a role for which I had dreamed of over the last eight years, to become a CEO of my own company. For those who know me or even speak to me for 5 minutes, you will know that I am one of the most determined and driven individuals whom you will ever meet. In this case, I was not going to let AIG, the economy, or recession ruin my aspirations for my career and my family’s future including financial well being.
For me, becoming 1 of millions of Americans to be laid off last year was only the beginning of my quest to help our country, economy and every single American nationwide. As a result I created JobsDirectUSA.com to serve as a resource, not just for unemployed Americans, but to every American citizen and corporation nationwide. Today as an entrepreneur ,and only three months since being laid off, I am proud and honored to be in a position where I have a resource that is bringing together companies, which having hiring needs, with Americans who have been affected by unemployment. Together, with JobsDirectUSA.com, I also created a slogan and initiative called “Saving America One Job at a Time”, it is my firm belief that the end-all to our economic meltdown in the United States begins and ends with employment. Every job that can be saved or created is a step forward towards the economic stability and improvement of our country. At the moment I am actively speaking out to major corporations to end mass layoffs and to find suitable alternatives that will avoid employment casualties. Through JobsDirectUSA.com I don’t plan on only offering an employment recruitment resource but also a cost-efficient solution to employers that will provide immediate aide in reducing costly expenses associated with employment recruiting. By employers registering and effectively utilizing JobsDirectUSA.com they will not only be reducing expenses but will be giving back to America by featuring valuable job opportunities and joining me in “Saving America One Job at a Time”. Although recent years have proven to be challenging for most Americans, I am confident and enthusiastic, that through collaboration and support from major corporations, the media and our political administration that JobsDirectUSA.com will become a revolutionary and useful employment resource for every single American in generations to follow. I am also proud to promote to the growing body of unemployed Americans that there is life after a layoff, simply focus on what you can control now which is the present and the future, not the past. For myself, I’ve engaged in social, yet professional, networking resources such as LinkedIn. I encourage anyone and everyone to connect with me through LinkedIn (http://www.linkedin.com/in/carlosgilonline) and join my exclusive network of business professionals. I am only one person however I am someone who is here to help, I welcome anyone who has been displaced in their careers to reach out and contact me for support at carlos.gil@cxggroup.com, in addition please register at www.JobsDirectUSA.com today. Together, we can and will save America…one job at a time.

Company Description:
JobsDirectUSA.com was initially founded and launched by Carlos Gil and his Florida based LLC, CXG Group, in 2008 after experiencing a job loss of his own. For Carlos, becoming 1 of millions of Americans to fall victim to corporate downsizing and become unemployed was only the beginning of his quest to help our country, economy and every single American nationwide rebound from the current economic recession and prior political administration. While once representing corporate America as an employee at Citigroup and AIG, Carlos had aspirations of one day being at the top of the corporate ladder as a Fortune 500 CEO, however as an entrepreneur, visionary and humanitarian he now has his sights set making an impact in America, including the corporate sector, by providing what will become a valuable resource to millions in the United States and some day billions worldwide. Through the platform known as JobsDirectUSA.com , we offer an on-line employment classified resource to job seekers and employers looking to hire throughout the United States. While there are thousands of competing websites the only similarity between JobsDirectUSA.com and our competition is the fact that we provide a resource for employers and job seekers. What makes JobsDirectUSA.com different and unique from every proceeding on-line employment classified website is a combination of four main components: Our foundation and history, our technical platform being the first of its kind (currently in development) our nationwide sales force and our campaign devoted to “Saving America One Job at a Time”.
