Today, I met with Katheryn Smith from Career Jump-Start and agreed to provide a series of talks to their members. Their mission is assist job seekers through the entire hiring process. Generally when I give talks, I focus on strategies to deliver powerful career stores based on job-specific competencies. New material will be added for the upcoming 4-week session. Creating targeted resumes, industry research, gaining insight into the hiring-manager's background, and must-do post interview activities will be covered. The last session will include strategies for the critical first 90 days on the job.

Over the next two to three weeks, I will be pulling material together for the series. Please send your specific questions or areas of concern. The four sessions will be tape and made available later this year.

Thanks for your participation, Mitch
