Define Your Target Market – October 24 Learning how to clearly and logically define your target market allows you to focus on specific organizations and ensures that you waste little time finding appropriate new employment. Staying focused with realistic goals can shorten your employment search by weeks and even months.
Get Your Message Out – NETWORKING –November 21 Getting the message out about who you are and what you have to offer to people who are likely to hire you is at the heart of the job search process. This technique is often referred to as Networking.
Interview, Cultivate Offers and Negotiate – December 12 Every discussion with a hiring manager should be considered an interview. Your role in the discussion is to position your skills, talents and experience as a solution to the challenges they face in their organization. Your task is to cultivate an offer by helping the hiring manager see you in that role, and eventually make you an offer.

Join us Monday, 20 Sep 2021! 5:45-8:15 pm., Presentation: The Job Search as a Business Transaction, Presenter: Jay Lang. Something occurs when we become unemployed or start a job search. We lose our professional identity. It’s an interesting and self-sabotaging phenomenon that occurs – one day we may be the Director of a multi-million dollar business, and the next day we are at home sweating over the font on our resume over whether it’s good enough for Human Resources. The Job Search ‘mind set’ vs a Business Transaction ‘mind set’ is analogous to powerless vs powerful, reactive vs proactive, unconfident vs confident. Turning the job search into a business transaction focuses our attention on performing as the professional we are – possessing a wealth of expertise, experience and value we can offer to a potential company. Together we will explore the disadvantages of the job search mentality, and how we can begin to turn our search for a new career opportunity into a Business Transaction mindset, to ultimately land more interviews and better offers.
