SUMMARY:THE FENG: Stop Playing Defense in Your Job Search
LOCATION:zoom
DESCRIPTION:Stop Playing Defense in Your Job SearchYou can’t win a game by just playing defense. Unfortunately, many accomplished professionals unintentionally approach their job search exactly that way.They expend a lot of time and energy worrying about how they will explain gaps in their background or address perceived weaknesses.Their resume and LinkedIn profile tell the wrong story, instead of a focused presentation of what will make others sit up and take notice.Networking conversations become cautious and transactional.Interviews become a series of answers to anticipated objections.The most successful candidates:Focus their attention and messaging on what they excel at, and don’t let potential perceived flaws distract them.Come into every interaction with supreme confidence in what they bring to the table.Aren’t afraid to deeply explore an interviewer’s challenges, and then make a clear case for why they are the right person to solve them.If your job search feels like you’re constantly responding to someone else’s agenda, this workshop will show you how to take control of the narrative — and present yourself as the solution organizations are looking for.&nbsp;John Hadley is a Job Search Strategist who helps experienced professionals access the “hidden” job market by clearly articulating their value and increasing their visibility with decision-makers—whether they’re in active search or positioning for their next move.&nbsp;After graduating from Stanford University, John spent 25 years in the financial services industry, holding roles from Product Manager to Chief Actuary. He later built a successful consulting practice before shifting his focus two decades ago to career search and professional positioning, helping hundreds of clients land roles—and compensation—that truly fit.&nbsp;Our speaker for the meeting is John Hadely. John is a popular speaker and author on job search, career strategy, and self-marketing. He publishes a free monthly Career Tips newsletter with more than 9,000 subscribers and curates a wide range of career resources at JHACareers.com.&nbsp;
