Topic:
"Career Fit!"
More about the evening:
Each person is unique in the universe; we know that from our DNA codes. There are special contributions you can make that no one else can. The more you appreciate your own uniqueness, the more wisely you can choose a profession or trade, an industry or organization, and a position or project that is truly suited to you. You can BE YOURSELF.
Are you who you say you are? This is why answering the question "How Am I Unique"? Clearly, and from a variety of vantage points, is so important. Values, interests, competencies, and skills are the critical areas of self?knowledge that will help you choose professions, industries, organizations, and positions that "fit".

Topic:
"Interviewing Not “Spewing”: Communicating Competence!"
More about the evening:
When people are being interviewed, they often default to “spewing” a list of everything they've accomplished and shut the interviewer down. The candidate may even have a distorted view of what is important ... because they communicate in terms of themselves rather than in terms of the needs of the hiring employer.

Topic:
"Revitalizing Your Job Search: Mind Over Market"
More about the evening:
This is not a rehash of the good ol’ job hunting basics. This seminar assumes you have been there and done that. As a seasoned professional you have taken care of business, read the books and attended career counseling sessions.
This interactive presentation will get you involved, reenergizing you to go out into the market with enthusiasm despite the ten o’clock news and Department of Labor Reports. Our attention will be focused on the more elusive
techniques like how to pump yourself up when you down and setting a strategic course that incorporates the jobenomic theory of supply and demand.
This event will also give you a chance to network one more time because there is never enough meet and greet when you are job hunting.

"Your Job Search Strategy - How to tilt the odds in your favor"
More about the evening:
During these uncertain economic times, job seekers are being challenged by massive corporate layoffs that create a crowded field of job candidates,
widespread hiring freezes and long protracted series of interviews (once an opportunity has been identified). How do you tilt the odds in your favor?
You will need to take a different approach in identifying and cultivating worthwhile relationships with decision-makers and influencers.
Companies hire even as they lay off employees. You will set yourself apart from your competition and in times when companies are cutting expenses,
you can position yourself as an investment that pays back.

Topic:
"If You Want to Find Work, Stop Chasing Jobs!!"
More about the evening:
When you change your focus from "looking for a job" to "looking for people who have business problems that I can help solve," very good things can happen for you. It's easier to get meetings with the key people - especially potential hiring managers - inside target organizations. You develop a sense of confidence that can translate to a more compelling self-presentation. And, when you get an assignment, you get something to put at the top of your resume's work history, some valuable income, and, quite possibly, the inside track on any upcoming W-2 positions at that organization. In this talk, Peter Miller, principal of Cobblestone Career Management, will share some ideas that will help you to broaden your search beyond posted job opportunities, and to present yourself in a way that will set you apart from the job-hunting competition. Come prepared to take a fresh look at your approach to finding work!
