  This article describes methods for building relationships with employers that benefit both employers and job seekers.
  
  
  OBJECTIVE
  Many employment specialists receive little training on how to work with employers and, therefore, resort to online job searches. This article describes a simple framework for developing long-term relationships with employers.
  
  
  METHODS
  Personal observations and published literature.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Employment specialists benefit from a structured format to develop relationships with employers, as well as good supervision in the field.
