BiblioTemps Presents: Job Search Part 1 - Start with Strategy

BiblioTemps Presents: Job Search Part 1 - Start with Strategy In-Person

Want Your Job Search to be Successful?  Here’s how.

Of course you want your job search to be successful!  Find out how to make that happen by putting the right steps in place to move forward with a plan that is strategic, rather than haphazard.  Then  learn how to take really good care of yourself as you put those steps into practice so you can leverage your strengths throughout the process of finding your next job.

You’ve got what it takes to get that job. These 2 sessions will point you in the right direction to get you there more quickly.  Join us for this 2-part workshop (Wednesday, May 19th and Friday, May 21st) and learn the specific steps and right mindset and self-care routine to succeed in your job search.

 

Part 1: Start with Strategy:

You are a professional with skills to offer. But you need to think strategically to stand out as a top candidate. You need to know who you are and what you have to offer. A random, unfocused job search isn’t likely to get you far.  it’s essential to consider the skills, experience, education, and know-how you possess.

It’s equally important to communicate this information to others.  Simply sending out dozens of resumes to every job announcement you see will likely result in long-term frustration. You are NOT a desperation hire.  This session will give you tools for a well-thought-out approach to go after positions you’re interested in.
