"People may hear your words, but they feel your attitude." - John Maxwell, New York Times bestselling author, coach and speaker |

It may surprise you to learn that one of my first jobs on campus was in Accounting. I'd been driving an hour each way (sometimes three with traffic) to a job, so when a job on my local campus called, I jumped at it. I became an accounting assistant in a department with 10 students and my office was in a closet. Needless to say, I kept looking.
The role I landed next would be the pivot point in my career -- giving me access to advising students and developing programs.
And networking would be the tool to get me there.

True to the real "hidden job market," the role *was* posted. But it was posted as a transfer opening, and I only found out about it because someone I knew (my boyfriend, now husband) told me. He had shared with his advisor that I was miserable and she said I should apply ... the job closed that day. I got an interview and the job, setting the course for where I am today.
Because of networking!
How did you land your favorite job? Reply and let me know! I'd love to hear.
As an introvert, I always cringe when people talked about networking as going to big events or cold calling.
Yes, networking can be those things. But it doesn't have to be. When I had the opportunity and the knowledge to start putting together a job search program, it was important to me that people learn all the ways they could network -- and that starting with people they already know, like, and trust them has value!
This was the premise of the job search course I taught at our local workforce center at the beginning of my career and the basis for the Certified Hidden Job Market Coach program CTL's been offering since 2015.
Over the past 7 years we've been refining our model for job search and networking. I'm excited to share that new model with you and give you tools you can use with your clients on Wednesday! I hope you'll join us for Land Faster, Land Better (or register to get the recording).

SEPT 21 | Last Faster, Land Better: Job Search Strategies for 2022 & Beyond |
|
|
With new recruiting technologies, increased virtual and remote recruiting, and new job search tools, there is no denying that job search has changed in the last few years.
And some aspects of a fruitful search continue to stand the test of time - like the importance of networking to be the referred candidate and demonstrating qualifications and fit in a resume, LinkedIn profile, and job search approach.
For seven years we've been honing an approach and training coaches to guide clients in executing a proactive job search. As virtual job search became the norm and networking morphed, we restructured the process and are ready to give you new tools, scripts, and processes you can use with clients!
After this session you will walk away with:
- Structure for building a plan for your client's VOYAGE to proactive job search
- Tools to focus and craft a marketing plan for every client
- Coaching questions to uncover the fears underlying stalled job search
- A process for making networking tangible and actionable for every client
- Coaching tools to help clients execute their job search their way (resulting in faster action and better results!)
Registration includes access to the recording to watch any time you'd like, resources to use with your clients, additional research reports, and a community of colleagues to share questions and insights about the materials.
