SUMMARY:JobSeekers: How to Handle Ghosting During Your Job Search
DESCRIPTION:PLEASE NOTE: This event is virtual and advance registration is required.\nThe job search can be a very frustrating experience\, especially when you believe you’re making progress with a terrific prospect\, but then\, suddenly\, things go silent. No phone call\, no email\, nothing. You have been ghosted. \nWhat should you do? Are you still in the running? Did you do something wrong? Did they lose interest in you? Are they negotiating with another candidate? \nHerein lies the issue of being “ghosted” by a potential employer. Statistics indicate that 75% of job applicants say they were ghosted after a positive interview. \nIt is insensitive. It is unprofessional. It is disappointing. Many job searchers\, including those who have completed multiple rounds of interviews\, are experiencing this issue. \nDuring this webinar\, NSENG Founder/CEO Marty Gilbert will provide you with some insight into specific actions you can take to combat ghosting. Here are some of the subjects he will discuss. \n\nWhy ghosting happens\nHow to reduce your chance of being ghosted\nWhat to do if you suspect you’ve been ghosted\n\n There will be 20 minutes of open networking \nwith fellow job seekers after the presentation. \n\nGuest Speaker\nMarty Gilbert \nMarty Gilbert is the Founder and CEO of the NorthShore Executive Networking Group (NSENG at www.nsenginc.com)\, the largest job search organization in the US. The group is comprised of over 11\,000 members\, with more than 1 member landing a new job each day. Over the past 14 years Marty’s job search coaching\, networking meetings\, webinars and workshops have helped over 3\,000 professionals to land new career opportunities. Additionally\, his trademarked “What the Hell Approach to Job Search”® has gained significant notoriety as a unique methodology that enables individuals to accelerate their engagement with target companies and key influencers. Marty also is a frequent job search speaker at large university alumni groups including Harvard\, Yale\, Cornell\, Howard\, NYU\, Chicago\, Michigan and several others. \nMarty also spent 18 years with Motorola\, where he held several marketing\, sales and general management roles. He served as Chief Operating Officer for STATS Inc\, the nation’s leading sports data company that was also the driving force behind the book and movie\, Moneyball\, starring Brad Pitt.

SUMMARY:JobSeekers: The Influential Communicator
DESCRIPTION:PLEASE NOTE: This event is virtual and advance registration is required.\n There will be 20 minutes of open networking \nwith fellow job seekers after the presentation. \n\nGuest Speaker\nJeff Flowers \nWhat makes someone influential? How can you effectively convince others over to your views? What steps can you take to communicate your ideas with greater impact? This webinar will explore these questions and more. Drawing on the art and science of influence and persuasion\, we will dive deep into the principles of human behavior that shape how receptive people are to new ideas and perspectives. We will also examine how violating these principles can lead to defensiveness and resistance. \nWhat You Will Learn: \n– How to create the conditions for others to listen with an open mind. \n– How to frame your ideas in ways that resonate with others. \n– The key principles of persuasion you can use to win others to your ideas. \n– How to embrace and build upon differing perspectives. \n– Which counterproductive habits to let go of for better communication and influence. \nThere will be 20 minutes of open networking with fellow job seekers after the presentation. \nJeff Flowers is a dedicated learning consultant specializing in the design and facilitation of innovative learning solutions. He creates dynamic\, active-learning experiences that empower clients to discover new authentic and impactful leadership capabilities. \nJeff began his career in learning and development by leveraging theater and social justice training to empower marginalized communities to lead positive change in their lives and environments. This work instilled in him the importance of facilitation and the transformative power of creating open\, honest\, and trustworthy learning environments. Today\, Jeff draws on these foundational experiences to inspire individuals and teams to achieve their highest potential.
