T20 / When the client is you: Applying best communication practices to your job search

Date: Tuesday, 28 June
Time: 2:45 - 4 pm
Track: Skills Development

This highly interactive session will focus on taking strategic ownership of a job or career search. Learn how to view the job search through a different lens, incorporating many best practices that we use in our everyday work lives as proficient communicators. We will also discuss how some of the very talents that make us good communicators can sometimes sabotage our best search efforts!

In this session, you’ll find out how to:

• Differentiate between active and passive search techniques and leverage the best of each
• Cultivate the mindset and posture during a job search that allow you to make the best decisions for yourself
• Develop a meaningful search plan that aligns with your own business objectives, rather than with the job posting du jour
