Tues. May 24th, “Self Assessment for Clarity and Results” May 24, 2011

Every successful job search strategy starts with a solid understanding of your individual qualities and unique offerings as a candidate. Getting clear on your strengths, core competencies, and transferable skills will bolster your ability to target existing opportunities and inspire you to create new leads with enthusiasm. Career Coach Jody Eriksen will share her unique mix of tools and techniques that can bring you the clarity and confidence you need to boost your search strategy. You are invited to connect with Jody at www.careersupportservicescorp.com

We meet in the St. Mary Immaculate Parish Faith Sharing Room at 15629 S. Route 59 in Plainfield. If you are new to networking, come at 6:30 pm for an introduction to networking tools like the Handbill and the Elevator Speech. Our Self-Assessment Discussion will start shortly after 7:00 pm.

You can also meet with our volunteer coaches (each an experienced hiring manager) for a one-on-one "Work Session" to get your resume and handbill reviewed, develop networking & interviewing skills, or talk with a coach about spiritual/emotional/financial help needs.

There is no cost to attend, pre-registration is not required, and everyone is welcome. Our members represent all ages, work backgrounds and future desires. Dress is casual.

Our future programs include:
June 14 Networking / Work Session
June 28 Jim Fitzgerald / “Seven Obstacles to a Successful Job Search”

July 26 Kevin Crews / “Resume Writing: Is Your Resume a Frequent Flyer in the Circular File?”
