Preparing for Today's Job Market - The InterviewSusanne Markgren
Congratulations, you got an interview... now what?! During this workshop we'll look at what to expect when interviewing at different types of libraries: academic, special, and public. We'll discuss both remote and in-person interviews, and talk about the importance of doing your research, preparing questions for your interviewers, and showing confidence and personality during your interview. We will talk about, and critique, interview-appropriate attire, as well as give you tips on staying comfortable while looking professional. We will work on developing your elevator pitch, and practice answering the most commonly asked interview questions. And, finally, we will provide advice on how to follow up after the interview. Throughout, we'll emphasize how to go beyond the qualifications listed on your resume in order to show a potential employer that you are the right candidate for the job.
The focus of the presentation is that employee engagement begins with an understanding of your corporate identity and hiring people who are a good match for your business. You need to determine the “shape” of your business and ways to attract, hire and retain employees that fit. No more square pegs in round holes.
Preparing for Today's Job Market - The Job SearchSusanne Markgren
The number one goal for many of us, whether we are fresh out of library school or not, is finding a job. And not just any job -- a job that we like, a job that we can grow in and learn from and feel proud of, a job that will enhance our skill sets and propel our careers. But the process of finding a job can be a difficult one and, at times, a long and treacherous journey. This hands-on workshop will help you feel more confident in your job search by giving you the tools to organize a search, analyze job listings, and write effective, compelling cover letters and resumes. We will also discuss the importance of creating, and maintaining, a professional online presence and look at examples of online portfolios and profiles on different platforms. All of which will help get you noticed -- in a good way, and get you one step closer to the interview.
It’s true that you only get one chance to make a good first impression. Would you like to leave your next interview thinking, “I nailed it!”? Acing the Interview is an intensive workshop given by Career Transition Coach, Catherine Morgan, of Point A to Point B Transitions Inc.
