| The 2 Hour Job Search - The Steve Dalton Approach/Saturday, April 14th - 9 am – Smith Hall, G21 |
The job search can be an overwhelming process for many! And getting overwhelmed can often create paralysis in the job hunt and prevent you from taking action. While preparing an effective resume, powerful cover letter and building an online presence is vital - it isn't always about who has the best resume - it can often be who has the best network of career advocates.
This interactive session will get you focused on the tips to prioritize your career search outreach, make contact with those that can serve as career advocates and create correspondence to convince them to connect with you.
Note: The initial workshop will cover the methodology and be used to get comfortable with the overall concept. There will be an optional session from 11 am - noon, implementing the execution of Steve Dalton's Job Search Methodology to get you started developing your plan! |
