–Job-Seekers Workshops
Leveraging your Personal Brand: Three-fourths of those in the midst of a career transition don’t provide clarity about the value they offer an employer. The result is often leaving potential earnings on the table and/or a poor job fit. Your Personal Brand is a critical career asset–but it isn’t about marketing spin, taglines, or increasing your likes on social media platforms. It’s about clarifying and amplifying your unique talents and the value you bring to the marketplace. Plus, it can and does have an impact on personal fulfillment, job satisfaction, and earning potential. Guest speaker : Cindy Key Thursday, January 21, 10:00 AM. This program is free and open to the public. Register: Job-Seekers Workshop: Leveraging Your Personal Brand – Jewish Vocational Services (jvsnj.org)
