Are you tired of applying to 100 jobs and not hearing back? Maybe you’re nervous about reaching out to other people and talking about yourself. Perhaps you’ve heard about networking from a lot of people, but you’re skeptical about the way it can actually work for you.
This workshop series is for you! As a career coach, I have distilled the targeted networking approach of finding jobs into a five-step process, each of which I will guide you through. Every three weeks, we will address another piece of the puzzle through an interactive workshop.
In Part 1, we will:
- Reflect and think really hard about what you want to do at this point in your career. Not what you think you can get, not what you'd be willing to settle for. We’re going to talk about what you actually really want out of your next job, what's important to you, and your WHY.
- Learn to tell your story in an elevator pitch and rehearse this so that you are comfortable sharing your own story with people in as little as one minute.
- Start revising your job search materials (resumes, cover letters, LinkedIn profile) to reflect this story.
Part 2: Identify Your Target Organizations (May 29)
Part 3: Build Your Network to Learn (June 19)
Part 4: Maintain Your Network (July 10)
Part 5: Use Your Network to Apply (July 31)
By the end of the process, you will be fully prepared to use the targeted networking approach to find a job, and more importantly, you will be closer to a chosen job and career that helps you live a purposeful, fulfilling life.
Each workshop will include exercises that we will work through together, and I will answer questions. While you can attend any workshop as a one-off, it can be very powerful to attend the entire five-workshop sequence. If you want more personalized support as you go through the job search process, sign up for 1-on-1 coaching sessions with me!
This workshop is appropriate for:
- Students and early-career professionals who are not sure how to get started with the internship or full-time job search
- Mid-career professionals who are looking to pivot into another industry or find a job after a career gap
- Anyone who wants to become more adept at networking and use it strategically
