Please join me on Thursday, October 26, 2023 at The Women’s Center in Vienna, VA for an engaging workshop for individuals who may be curently in transtion / in between jobs or whom are looking to make a change- whether it be to a different organization or trying something new. Bring your resumes with you. See below for specifics on registration via EventBrite.

Changing your direction (career) can be an overwhelming and sometimes scary experience. How do you navigate the possibility of a career change and make the decision? Do you know how to conduct an effective and productive job search in the current job market? In this workshop, we will look at making the assessment for change, setting realistic goals and expectations as well as other aspects of a job search. Items to consider are hidden talents to propel a change, interview tactics and creating a marketing plan as well as salary negotiation.

BENG meetings allow senior business professionals with 10+ years of experience an opportunity to network with other senior level professionals. BENG members include those in career transition, employed professionals who are recruiting, and self-employed professionals. 

This month, I will be leading a discussion on interviewing techniques and how to deal with those difficult questions. Titled, “ Interviewing in a Covid World- Are we just imagining that the questions are becoming harder and tougher or are we just experiencing “Zoom Fatigue”?

Think about a few of those tough questions that you hate to hear and see how others can help you answer them with the greatest of ease the next time you have an interview!

I have been a guest speaker at the monthly NOVA BENG monthly meetings since 2014. Join me again on November 21, 2019 at the Oakton, Virginia Library when I’ll be sharing ideas for executives on the topic of using LinkedIn for effective Job Search Networking.

In the past, I have spoken at Women in Technology (WIT) meetings on various career transition topics and also had the pleasure of being a guest lecturer at an American University Kogod School of Business Leadership Development course.

I enjoy these type of experiences and if you are looking for someone to present at a meeting, event or conference, please contact me!
