Description

The Job Search Trifecta - Marketing Yourself For Career Advancement

Just as a horse race trifecta bet pays off big when you back a winning combination, a job searcher will increase the odds of landing a great new job sooner when effectively creating and combining documents. This presentation will cover enhancing one's resume to strengthen the "above the fold" content and creating a personal marketing plan to increase networking effectiveness. A T-style cover letter rounds out the "trifecta" of documents.

Our speaker, Kevin Muller, is an EARN alumnus and was an active member of the leadership team for almost ten years, during which he presented on a variety of topics.

Organized by

is one of Westchester County's perennial faith-based groups specifically designed to assist the unemployed, underemployed and others in a state of career transition. EARN been holding monthly meetings since 1989.

The program was established by a small group of parishioners with human resources backgrounds with the intent of educating attendees about the job search process and by providing them opportunities to develop their networking skills. Essentially, EARN's coordinators help individuals to learn what it takes to uncover job leads and to increase their number of potential contacts. Not an employment agency, EARN provides valuable resources to connect attendees to work, but does not provide job placement.

The monthly meeting has four phases. Initially, there is News You Can Use -- an update on events. This is usually followed by a knowledgeable guest speaker who delves into various aspects of the job search, such as resume preparation, networking, negotiating and interviewing. Third, a coordinator facilitates a formal networking process whereby each participant tells of his/her background, aspirations and job search successes/setbacks experienced over the last month. Finally, informal networking takes place. Attendees do a one-on-one or small group interactions, for example, depending upon what transpired in the earlier networking phase.

EARN also publishes a monthly newsletter entitled Employment Exchange which lists job openings and situations wanted.
