Assistance in navigating the challenging waters of career transition  

THIS WEEK: EMPLOYMENT is an UN-Natural Act

The old "round peg in a round role" theory of career planning (and recruitment) is dysfunctional.  In the typical professional environment today, job descriptions are changing faster than ever before to keep up with the challenges of an economy in transition. Positioning yourself clearly, having a well thought out Personal Marketing Plan and executing it efficiently will  keep you ahead of your competition  Help the hiring authority find you and see you as a good FIT.

In the OTHER Job Market, buyers and sellers hold equal responsibility for the recruitment process.  When employers have a need for someone to fulfill a specific role, often the most desired candidates are employed individuals with the credentials they seek and who bring value.  Thus, the employer must sell their Company to potential employees--just like their candidates must sell their services. 

WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT FROM THIS EVENT...

  • While each Public offering will always include a process overview (with Q and A),  this event  will focus on the networking 'roadmap' available to you in the various social media outlets.   It will enable you to deal with "next step" issues in your career transition.  This focus is woven throughout ones...

  • PERSONAL MARKET PLAN...  Provides a sense of focus and direction, represented by an individual’s focused positioning and targeting. 

                     - Be organized and in synch with your Personal Marketing Plan when networking, for the rest of your career.

                     - Get your VERBAL collateral in synch with the written, including social media 'profiles.'

                     - Learn the power in your positioning

To be efficient, it is to anyone’s advantage to fully utilize available technical resources in all phases of career transition:

Job and Career SATISFACTION... The acid test !  IS there a HIGH TECH way to experience this desired feeling? Which leads us to my simple point:

Put technology to work for you in leveraging your time and efforts in the implementation of your Personal Market Plan… but never let it replace the High TOUCH necessary to assure your career objectives and goals. ... For the rest of your career!

Networking is a contact sport!
