Associated with  New Jersey Chapter

Please join us for a Career Connect and the first on-site Membership Meeting.   Our guest speaker for the event is Maya Ollson, who will speak about "Hitting a Home Run- Connecting with Your Future to Advance Your Career."

Establishing and advancing your career requires time and expertise - strategic job search expertise. Whether you’re a recent grad, a professional wanting more recognition for a next step, or a senior professional wanting to make a lasting contribution, you need to employ strategic job search techniques to land that next job. Yes, this is a robust job market, but just doing a job search isn’t enough. You need to approach your search strategically to:

  • Make your resume sparkle
  • Attract recruiters to your LinkedIn profile
  • Use networking to connect with decision makers, and
  • Develop interview skills that advance you to an offer.
This 2-hour session will be jam packed with specific techniques to answer all those searing questions you’ve always wanted answered:

  • Resume - What to include, what to not. How to demonstrate your value. Grabbing readers to entice them.
  • LinkedIn - Showing that you’re technologically LI savvy. Too little information vs. too much. Searching for contacts and jobs on LI.
  • Networking - Climbing the Networking Staircase. Using networking to break into a new field/role. Best way to Connect. The one question to always ask.
  • Interviewing - Interviewing with a sales perspective. The one question to launch the interview. How to sell them what they’re buying. Closing the interview and advancing to the next step.
