Presentation Summary and Speaker Bio:

'Discovering your next Challenge':
This may be time to rediscover your passion for life.
It is a unique ability to be able to step back and
take a reflective look into one's past. This
presentation is intended to provide a reflective look
at what you have accomplished and what you want to
accomplish. Looking for a new opportunity is stressful
but can be a positive opportunity to review, reflect,
challenge, and think outside the box in discovering
what you should do with your life going forward. Be
careful, this presentation may take you to places you
haven't thought about in some time and may uncover
your true passion for building something you are proud
of.

'Building a Resume that tells your Story':
Your resume should tell you story with a clear
'Picture' of your experience, capabilities, education,
skills, and accomplishments in a one or two page
summary. Your résum?#39;s purpose is to get your foot
in the door. A resume does its job successfully if it
does not exclude you from consideration. To prepare a
successful resume, you need to know how to review,
summarize, and present your experiences and
achievements in a concise manner. This presentation
will guide you through a review of your resume from
the perspective of the hiring interviewer and their
company.

'Before, During, and after the Interview':
The Boy Scouts have it right. 'Be prepared'. The job
interview is only a stop along the path of securing a
new position. In some respect by the time you get to
the interview if you haven't done your homework
it may be to late to secure the job. This
presentation will also talk about: 'killer resumes',
working with recruiters, and assuring you have the
best information possible in presenting yourself in
the interview.
