To help you get a QUICK glimpse of what we discussed last week - here are the highlights:
Recording Highlights from Q&A Feb 5:
https://www.bigmarker.com/idealworklab/jobsearchquestionsfeb5
Questions we tackled in this conference:
"What is the biggest mistake job seekers make"?
"So if you see a position you like at a company you admire, how do you 'break the ice'? From their stand point how would HR or a manager desire to be approached?"
"I have been working for the same company for more than 7 years. So most of my contacts are in the same company. But I don't want to give any of my current co-workers as reference. So what is the best thing to do ? How do I get references?"
"I was laid of my job in 2010 and didn't find a new job until 2014, but was laid off within a few months bc i think i was carrying around a lot of negative feelings from my last job that needed to be released. now when i go on job interviews there seems to be a disconnect with me and the interviewers and perhaps i have evolved over the past few years in ways unknown to me so i am not showing up how my resume is - i don't know how to secure a job and break this vicious cycle?"
"How could someone with entrepreneurial background be attractive to big corporation? In my experience, HR tends to be more conservative in their choices and preferring to hire corporate types"

*** Original Webinar Details ***
This conference is all about YOU and your questions or dilemmas in your job search ... perhaps you are just starting out or thinking about a job change...or you have been in job search mode for a while and need some advice. Either way, we will discuss and share tried and true insider HR advice to help you in your job search. You will be able to ask questions via text chat and can be anonymous as well (for those of you currently employed)!
Joining me in this Job Search Q&A is rockstar entrepreneur and coach Elatia Abate. She teaches people how to take charge of their own life-changing career transformations and craft careers that don’t feel like work. Prior to founding her practice, she held various corporate recruiting leadership positions at Anheuser-Busch InBev and Dow Jones & Company.
Elatia and I will share most frequently asked questions so if you don't have a specific question, join us to listen in. As a bonus, you will get the free IWL strategy workbook to get you started after the conference.
If you can only join for part of the conference, the webinar will be recorded for you to listen to at your convenience.
What people are saying about Ideal Work Lab:
"Your advice to look at what we've already done, and identify when and where and by what that spark of interest and energy ignited, and to build on that recognition instead of focusing forward into that fog--well, for me it's a whole new way of thinking."
"This was fantastic and very helpful".
