Ed Samuel – iKnowMyDesign DiSC – Princeton
Princeton Public Library, 65 Witherspoon St, Princeton, NJ 08542, USA
Here’s the benefits of attending this talk on the iKnowMyDesign DiSC assessment tool: 1. It will strengthen how to answer the pointed questions during an interview about the strengths of their personality 2. It provides the candidate the ability to be an “authentic interview” 3. It gives a candidate to see what a Personality Test result would look like if a potential employer asked them to do one. Note: I know many employers use this very tool for 100% of all candidates that apply for a job with their firm – either before an interview or a condition before a job offer is extended 4. For those who land or are already working, they can use this same tool to grossly strengthen the team dynamics and use for their future hiring 5. This assessment tool trumps anything AI can do today as to a candidate’s truce authenticity
Friday, April 10·10:15am – 12:30pm
Bart Jackson – Getting Personal, Getting Hired – Plainsboro Public Library
Friday, April 10·10:15am – 12:30pm
Plainsboro Public Library, 9 Van Doren St, Plainsboro Township, NJ 08536, USA
Digital just doesn’t cut it. Surveys continually show that 50 – 85 percent of all jobs are lled through networking and personal relationships; while ¾ of all open positions never even get posted. The best way to discover and land that ideal position is to ally more humanity with your own human resources. Career journalist Bart Jackson has spent a lifetime connecting with the most fascinating professionals, and turning acquaintances into colleagues. With light heart and good humor, Bart offers tips and strategies for protably broadening your professional pool – discovering those individuals you need to know – learning where to meet them – and most importantly how to e+ectively converse with them. Remember, the world belongs to the talkers.

Learn the ground rules to set up quantification on a resume and why an activity has no value. Learn ways to “guesstimate” that will not be challenged. Discover how to apply the litmus test to quantify every accomplishment. Learn the rule of aggregation on page 1 of a resume and the most common methods to quantify; $, %, # – and why volume matters. Learn the downside of not having accomplishments quantified when it comes to the interview. Ed will also show how using AI can help your cause in a big way. Be prepared to participate during the AI part of this talk.

Job search is as much a mental marathon as it is a professional one. Between the “ghosting” and the radio silence, it’s easy to feel stuck. If you’re feeling more burnt out than motivated lately, you aren’t alone – but you can change the narrative.
It’s time to stop the burnout and start building resilience.
The most successful job seekers are in tune with their mindset. They know how to keep their energy high when the search gets long. How to flip the script on rejection and reclaim their momentum. And increasingly, they know how to use AI as a secret weapon – not just for resumes and cover letters, but to stay focused, organized, and confident throughout the entire journey.
In this webinar, we will discuss how to:
- Shift to a Growth Mindset: Turn “no” into a strategic redirection — and use AI tools to analyze patterns in your applications so you can pivot with purpose, not panic.
- Silence the Inner Critic: Stop the cycle of self-doubt. Learn how AI-powered journaling and reflection prompts can help you reframe negative thinking and track your progress.
- Control the Controllable: Manage your energy and routine to avoid search fatigue — with AI tools that help you prioritize tasks, set goals, and stay consistent without burning out.
- Build a Support System: Stop job hunting in isolation. Discover how AI can help you network smarter, craft outreach messages, and connect with the right people at the right time.
Center, please register at www.cthires.com before the meeting.
