Strategies that Enhance Your Job Search Success, Increase Your Impact and Marketability and Effective Identification or Use of Your Network The focal points of the session include:
• Enhancing Your Job Search Success
• Increasing Your Impact and Marketability
• Identifying, Expanding, and Using Your Network
• Taking Command of Your Career
• Becoming an Influencer
The basic assumption that you must make as an emerging professional is that you are a product. Like any other product, including a car, a computer, or a screwdriver, you have specific attributes and applications. Articulating your attributes, values and market are critical first steps in the process of your job search and career choices. How you increase your marketability, and the attraction of employers (purchasers) is a function of understanding your strengths, your key skills, and your anticipated ROI to your prospective employer (customer). Getting in front of the correct customers is influenced by the support from within your network. The session will focus on creating a “sellable” product that, by quickly communicating your abilities, understanding your strengths, and becoming engaged with a supportive professional network, can put you on a highly satisfying career path that will exceed your long-term expectations.
