Job Search In A Digital Age Workshop

The philosophy of “a job for life” no longer exists.

Finding that perfect job used to be simpler. You sent or dropped off a resume ~ each resume was reviewed by a real person ~ interviews were conducted by human beings.

That’s so old school.

The internet, job boards, social media, and now artificial intelligence have disrupted the HR sector and radically altered the recruitment and selection process.

Employers will Google you and review your social media profiles before making a final hiring decision, possibly even before inviting you to an interview.

Conducting an effective job search in a digital age involves understanding digital recruitment tools and trends, how your social media presence can help or hinder your quest for a new job, and developing a networking plan to penetrate the hidden job market.

This is a 2-hour interactive job search workshop leading participants through the evolution of job search. Attendees will learn about the job search wheel and start the process of creating key job search tools including a job search plan, target employer list, elevator speech, and networking business card.

The role of social media including active versus static sites will be explored culminating in a self-assessment of your LinkedIn profile with advice to improve your profile strength and achieve ALL STAR status.

Participants will leave feeling prepared to launch an aggressive and strategic job search embracing social media, in-person and online networking, contingency and retained recruiters to land quicker in their ideal job.  Click here for a sneak peek at the table of contents for the workbook used to deliver this course.

Who should attend?

Individuals idling in job search mode failing to secure a request for an interview or a final job offer. If the phone isn’t ringing, it’s likely either the result of an inferior resume or an inferior job search plan.

Corporations facing potential closure or staff downsizing should support the affected employees with effective job search strategies to lessen their time in career transition while optimizing the organization’s public perception as a caring and responsible company.

Associations seeking to add value for their membership, being there to support their members and enhance their skill set not only when gainfully employed but also while on an active job search.

B-school chapters supporting their alumni from graduation to retirement by partnering with a global authority in career management and job search, self-proclaimed “LinkedIn junkie”, and EMBA career coach.

It was an awakening on why I haven’t been managing my career! Martin uplifted my spirit with his deep and intense knowledge of resumes, job search, social media, how to use Executive Recruiters…..the list goes on. He is passionate and emotional about helping others reach their career goals and how to position oneself as a competitor.

He is also humorous in delivering powerful messages, he tells stories about his clients and how they have conquered being introvert and having negative issues particularly in age. I would like to attend these sessions again as he has so much information to share as a Subject Matter Expert.

Thanks Martin, you have enlightened and empowered me!
