Personal Branding
Conveying your value to a potential employer is paramount. It's something that needs to be recognized by them almost immediately. Knowing how to personally brand yourself in a way that draws attention to your unique set of gifts, talents and experiences is an art form. It's what helps you to stand out from the crowd. Learn how to create a strategic marketing plan, develop your personal value proposition and design the tools to communicate it effectively.
Salary Negotiation
Salary negotiation is an important process during any stage of employment and can be intimidating for many. This workshop will provide you with knowledge, tips, and tools to have these conversations regarding salary, health benefits, vacation/sick time, etc. with your current or future employer.
LinkedIn
Did you know that over 80% of all recruiters and employers search for candidates on LinkedIn? It has become a major source for recruiters, employers and candidates to connect. Learn how to grow your personal LinkedIn network, how to search for companies, people and positions, join and connect with other groups and associations and how to tap into the hidden job market.
Advanced LinkedIn
Take it a step deeper and tap into the real power of LinkedIn. Utilize groups, conduct advanced people searches, write blogs, and improve your profile. Take advantage of LinkedIn's questions and answers, company profiles, 2nd and 3rd connections and much more. Learn how to maximize your profile so employers can search and find you on LinkedIn!
Resume Writing
In today's economy, the average HR representative or hiring manager may only spend about 8-15 seconds initially scanning your resume. Most will only review the first third for required skills and experience and may not even read beyond the first page. So how does your resume get attention? Learn how to develop an eye catching resume that makes it to the "Interview" pile. We'll focus on formatting tips to writing a winning resume, how to package and present yourself, write the right resume for the right position and designing a compelling cover letter.
Interviewing/Mock Interviewing
Interviewing is a skill. It takes intentional preparation, the ability to build rapport with others and knowing how to answer questions that may be thrown in your direction with poise and polish. This workshop will provide you with insider tips on navigating the ever so important interview process. In addition to teaching you these skills, we will then record you in a mock interview, so you can see yourself from the interviewer's perspective. Click Here to Sign Up for a Mock Interview
