Jill Konrath, author of Fortune "must read" Selling to Big Companies and the upcoming Get Back to Work Faster, announced today that Citrix Online is sponsoring a webinar series to help out-of-work professionals get back to work faster.

The webinar series, available free to job seekers who have registered at www.getbacktoworkfaster.com, will teach professionals how to stand out to employers, identify & pursue income-producing opportunities, bring in money during their job search, land new positions that play to their strengths and become the "must hire" candidate, without competitors.

The first three webinars of the series will be:

Launched in June 2009, the Get Back to Work Faster Initiative offers job seekers fresh strategies and support via a downloadable book, monthly webinars with leading experts on hot topics and numerous resources. Over 5000 job seekers have downloaded Get Back to Work Faster since it was launched in early June.
