Transitions

I invite you to join me in a series of six workshops designed to support and motivate job seekers.

As you know if you are unemployed, it can be pretty lonely out there, and hard to stay motivated during a job search.

Purpose
Provide an outlet for emotional support during transition while assisting in job search.
• Promote discussion and education on job search topics with real situations
• Develop new network contacts and practice job search techniques to gain new skills.
• Encourage a sense of accountability and mentorship with other participants

How is this different from other Networking or Job Clubs?
Participants commit to attending all sessions, unless re-employed
Workshop size is limited to 10 people
Curriculum is built on personal development exercises with assignments to complete
Participants will be asked to commit to assisting other workshop members

Series Topics:
Getting Started: where are you now and where do you want to go?
Fear of Success: What is it and how to get rid of it?
Rediscovery: Strengths and Direction
Nuts & Bolts of an Effective Job Search: resume, cover letters, research, plan of action
Networking to Your Style: Find a way to network that works for you
Interviewing and Negotiation: Land the job and get what you deserve

Benefits to Participants
