Cole Chatterton
WEB-SUPPORTED COURSE
The rules for resume building, interviewing, and contract negotiations have changed drastically over the last ten years. Learning the skills to receive valuable face time with decision makers while bypassing the human resources department can significantly improve job seekers chances in the current marketplace. Getting the degree is the first step; landing a career that will bring you long term joy is next. It is a fine balance between strategic choices and knowing the art of career searching. During the seminar I will share tricks I have uncovered over the last fifteen years as a career coach.
