CAREER TRANSITION SIG: 02/11/10 Meeting - Selling YOU!

If you are in the midst of a career transition, you really want to join us for mutual support and learning.  We get together regularly to share stories, situations and approaches that make it easier to find the right position to further our careers. Don't miss an evening where you can expand your network, make new friends, share knowledge with your peers, and hear highly relevant and beneficial insights and perspectives from an expert in the marketplace.

This meeting is about SELLING YOU!

Aristotle believed an important skill any person could have was the ability to influence.

Have you ever had to convince your colleagues, department heads, or company executives to try a different tactic in acquiring new business?  Ever have to get your friends to agree on which restaurant to eat at or which movie to see?  Ever tried to get your customers to buy your stuff?  Ever tried to get your kids to behave a certain way?  Ever go on a job interview?

Join us for a highly interactive and thought provoking evening that will demystify your views of selling.

• Learn how you can apply the theories and techniques of selling as you search for work (Hint: no rocket science involved, but Rocket Scientists can surely benefit).

• Hear new ideas about old job search techniques that can help focus your attention on the job at hand.

• Learn how to put a different spin on the activities you currently perform so you can distinguish yourself from the other applicants vying for the position you want.

Make the person interviewing you feel glad they met you.  And make your new employer wonder how they ever got along without you.
