“Finding Work in a Jobless Recovery” is Topic of January 20 Experts Connection Teleseminar

(I-Newswire) January 6, 2010 - NOVATO, Calif. (January 5, 2009) – We are now in a jobless recovery, where economic conditions seem to be slowly improving while unemployment remains at an unprecedented high. Senior executives, many of whom are out of work for the first time in their careers, are looking at their job search and wondering what they are doing wrong? Why is it so hard to find a job in 2010? Randy Block and Jim Stewart, both seasoned career coaches who specialize in working with older executives in transition, will review what works in today’s job market in the next Experts Connection (www.experts-connection.com) teleseminar, “Finding Work in a Jobless Recovery.” The teleseminar, sponsored by NETSHARE® (www.netshare.com), is scheduled for Wednesday, January 20, from 4:00 – 5:30 p.m. ET (1:00 – 2:30 p.m. PT).

In this teleseminar, career coaches Block and Stewart will pool their extensive experience in consulting with executives to take a look at personal branding, networking, and strategies that work in today’s economic climate. Companies are hiring solutions, not executives, and you need to be able to articulate how you will solve immediate problems and contribute to the bottom line. In this teleseminar, these two career coaches will address the 10 steps you can take to maximize your process for finding work, including:

• A review of the work techniques that no longer work, and why.
• How networking is more than most executives think it’s cracked up to be.
• What you need to include in your “work plan;”
• How to distinguish between a decision maker and a decision influencer.
• The real value of your personal brand, and how to make that brand stand out from the crowd.
• What is a digital footprint, and how to get one.

“The current economic climate has created a new reality for job seekers; the current conditions are the new normal,” Katherine Simmons, CEO of NETSHARE and host of the Experts Connection teleseminars. “There is no magic bullet or single formula for a successful job search, especially for older executives. But with the tools and skills that Randy and Jim outline in our next teleseminar, you will be have a better understanding of how to find meaningful work and position yourself to land your next job, even in the toughest job market.
