In your case, these target companies would potentially need your skills or expertise.
Answer these questions to help you determine who your target companies are and then you can fine-tune
your options.

• Geographically, where would you be willing to work?

You're busy, and a little overwhelmed by all of the options to market yourself professionally via social media.

Hiring managers report they attract better quality applicants and increase their reach when they use social media, and many intend to increase their investment in and efforts using these recruitment tools.

As you investigate and identify the industry or field where you most belong, the presentation will help you master research techniques to learn about specific companies, desired locations, job functions, and the right people to contact for key information and access.

Information Meetings Part 3: Mock Meeting

Professionals in all industries at all levels use Twitter to grow their network, exchange ideas, and promote their businesses. You should too. While Twitter may not have as many active users as Facebook or LinkedIn, you will find most Twitter users are open networkers. Fishing is this smaller, less competitive pond that makes it easier to hook company insiders and industry contacts.
During this fast-paced session, we’ll build off the ideas presented in How to Use Social Media to Get Found and Land A Job Faster by focusing on Twitter-specific resources and strategies to find and engage with industry professionals. We’ll dive into how you can garner the attention of complete strangers, pick up valuable company insider information, and build reciprocal relationships in real-time.

You will learn:

• How to find and follow valuable company insiders using Twitter search tools.
• What to say in 140 characters to catch the attention of strategically targeted users.
• Learn what types of tweets generate more attention and increase followers.
• How to organize your Twitter feed so you don’t miss important news and updates.

The Interview can be an intense “sweat interview” or a pleasant conversation that leads to a job offer – it’s your choice if you prepare and perform well. You can “own the tone” of the interview from the beginning by knowing what interviewers are really looking for before you walk into the room.

After this webinar, you will:

• Know how to prepare for 4 key dimensions that MBA interviewers are really assessing in the process.
• Know the 3 most common (& important!) questions interviewers ask, and how to answer them.
• Understand the decision process and mindset employers use to forward candidates between 1st round interviews, 2nd round interviews, and final offer rounds… and how each round differs.
• And most importantly… Understand what NOT to do, what to do, and when.

Conventional wisdom says that 80% of available positions are filled before they are ever advertised. We can understand why it’s true for a few main reasons. First, there are always roles that have not been fully defined, and until that definition is given, there are unrequisitioned functional holes just waiting to be filled. Second, the process and time-lag of even a defined position passing through the requisition process of a major corporation can be ominous. Third, people would rather work with people they know and like vs. starting a brand new relationship, so they effectively “hire” faster (in their mind, if not officially) than the HR machine can work anyhow.
So, if there are all these available yet invisible opportunities out there, how do you best tap into them?
In this jam-packed session, you will learn how to do just that, from a networking expert and author who has taught these techniques to MBAs and senior executives for over 14years…landing many in roles the world didn’t even know existed.

You Will Learn:

• Why the logic and human psychology elements behind the evolution and closing of hire are critical to know
• The virtual license-to-steal all students possess to infiltrate these backdoor boardrooms of opportunities
• How to repurpose your academic research for stealth job search
• Contact and ongoing engagement methods to keep you privy to what’s hidden to others

To not negotiate is to leave part of your compensation package with the employer. Not only is “pushing back” essential, but it sets the right tone for all future discussions of compensation during your tenure with an organization. This webinar will present a salary negotiation primer for both job seekers and professionals seeking to negotiate within their current business environments.

A three-step approach will be detailed:

• How to avoid the subject for as long as possible, building value;
• How to defer at the point of offer, in order to gain time to build a negotiating strategy; and
• The face-to-face negotiation - surprisingly the easiest part of the process.
