Career Transition Essentials

Session overview
Career Transition Essentials is designed to empower individuals to build and execute a successful career transition strategy.

In this difficult economy, layoffs are an unfortunate fact of corporate life. And in this hyper-connected world, former employees have sprawling networks of friends and colleagues accessed through social networking sites including Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, and MySpace. This means that future talent may see your company through the eyes of those who are being let go now. In fact, how your organization is perceived today may very well effect the caliber of people you attract when the job market turns around…and it will.

Career Transition Essentials was designed from the perspective of your corporate reputation. What if employees slated for layoffs, but who are not entitled to corporate outplacement (a large expense for most companies) could attend a half-day career transition training program that teaches every aspect of how to find that next job so that they walk out energized and equipped for the challenge? Career Transition Essentials delivers best practice strategies on every aspect of finding a job: Setting up the campaign, how to answer on-line job boards effectively, smart networking, managing recruiters, winning the interview challenge, and negotiating the best deal. Whether you are laying off 5, 50 or 500 employees, Career Transition Essentials will deliver the critical information they need at a fraction of Corporate Outplacement costs.

Modules Include:

1. How do I create and execute a diversified career transition campaign?
   As with managing a financial portfolio, the most successful career transition campaigns are well diversified. This means developing multiple strategies: Answering job postings on-line, recruiters, a targeted letter campaign, and, most importantly, a smart networking strategy - the most likely avenue for success. This module will provide concentrated step-by-step action plans for each, provide innovative presentation materials, and a comprehensive list of the most helpful online resources. The application of these materials will save participants time, money, and energy.

2. How can I distinguish myself from the competition in an interview?
   This module teaches participants how to identify and articulate the value that they offer organizations. Participants will learn how not to emulate their competitors, who speak in interview clichés of “taking on challenges” and “getting things done. This section will also provide expert guidance on post interview follow-up, research, overcoming liabilities, how to navigate the most difficult questions, and the critical dynamic between attitude and body language.

3. What is the best way to interact with recruiters?
   This module will outline effective methods for approaching and managing the three types of recruiters: Retained, contingency, and in-house.

Transitioning between jobs can represent a stressful period in people’s lives. Career Transition Essentials is a step-by-step comprehensive approach to identifying, pursuing, and landing the next job with optimism and confidence.
