1. **Job Search in Chicago by Yamuna**
June 2015
06.05.15 (updated 06.15.15)
Hi everyone,
Happy Friday! Below is the link for Greg David’s upcoming Career & Employment Workshop. I
attended his event last month on “Creating Your Brand.” As always, it was great and very
informative.
Networking goes on before (usually around 7:30am) and after his presentation at the Union
League Club (65 W. Jackson). Topic for June: The Top Things to Do and Not Do in a Job
Search. “Hitting the Bull’s-eye: Advanced techniques and strategies to outpace,
outsmart, and outperform your job search competition.”
Hitting the bull’s-eye in an interview is about eliminating common interview mistakes, and
performing interview best practices. Even in a down job market, people are being hired all the
time. Why shouldn't it be you?
