| The Job Search Business Plan: Getting Started & Using the Four Methods of Search | Wednesday, June 4 9:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. |
| Aside from acing the interview, the next hardest thing in your job search is finding appropriate openings. Did you know that 70% of jobs are never advertised or posted on the Internet? If you’re not using all four methods of search, you’re missing much of the job market. This workshop covers networking, targeting, employment services (recruiters), and published leads (including the Internet). We’ll also review researching the job market and give you a plan to get your search started. | |
| Breakthrough Tactics for Internet Job Search | Tuesday, June 10 9:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. |
| Tired of applying online and getting nowhere fast? Learn how to self-screen yourself and craft a resume to breakthrough employers screening practices. Also, learn formatting do’s and don’ts when developing your electronic resume. Bring at least one job posting of interest to you and a copy of your resume. | |
| Salary Negotiation: How to Make the Most of a Job Offer | Wednesday, June 18 10:00 a.m. to Noon |
| Forget about what you’re worth in the market. The employer sets the salary and you can only negotiate within the employer’s range. Do you know how to determine what the employer’s range is? Do you know how to effectively talk about salary before an offer is made, so you can negotiate for more when an offer comes? Do you know what to say to convince an employer s/he should start you at a higher salary? If you’re wondering, this workshop’s for you. | |
| How to Take Charge of Your Career | Tuesday, June 24, 2008 1:00 p.m. to 2:30 p.m. |
| While we may long for a stable and secure job, work is constantly being impacted by change. So to maintain employability—job security—you´ve got to actively manage your career. In this workshop, we´ll present 5 strategies to help you manage your career long term. We´ll also talk a bit about personal branding as a career management tactic | |
| The Attitude Clinic: "Chicken Soup for the Job Seeker" | Tuesday, July 10, 2008 9:30 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. |
| Whoever said that attitude, not aptitude, determines your altitude, wasn´t kidding. Did you know that your personality makes up 2/3 of your attitude? Are you struggling with staying motivated? Is your due diligence in the doghouse? Let´s take a look at what your attitude is doing or not doing for you in the marketplace. Get the "RIGHT" attitude for your search, your work and your future!! Facilitated by Michelle Gines, Director of Outreach & Marketing for the Urban League. | |
| Interviewing from the Employer’s Side of the Desk: Featuring ITT Technical Institute |
Tuesday, July 22, 2008 10:00 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. |
| If you want to know what employers look for during an interview, please join us at this workshop featuring one of the Career Marketplace’s newest corporate partners, ITT-Technical Institute. This presentation starts by telling you what employers want to hear and see during an interview…what gets them excited about a candidate. Then you’ll get to ask questions. Now’s your chance to learn about interviewing from the employer’s side of the desk. Note: This workshop is different than our usual “how to interview” workshop, so please plan on attending. RSVP is required for this workshop: 816-471-0550. |
