SUMMARY:JobSeekers: How to Handle Ghosting During Your Job Search
DESCRIPTION:PLEASE NOTE: This event is virtual and advance registration is required.\n There will be 20 minutes of open networking with fellow job seekers after the presentation. \nClick here to register\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\n15+ ways to reduce your chances of being ghosted\nWhat to do if you suspect you’ve been ghosted\n\nGUEST SPEAKER: Marty 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.

SUMMARY:JobSeekers: Embrace the AI Competitive Advantage
DESCRIPTION:PLEASE NOTE: This event is virtual and advance registration is required.\n There will be 20 minutes of open networking with fellow job seekers after the presentation. \nClick here to register\nMost job seekers are either ignoring AI or panicking that it’s making them obsolete. Both approaches will cost you opportunities. \nHere’s what’s actually happening: AI is changing how work gets done\, and hiring managers know it. They’re looking for candidates who can adapt\, learn new tools\, and use technology to work smarter. If you’re avoiding AI because it feels threatening\, you’re signaling exactly what employers don’t want to see. \nThe good news? The same technology that’s disrupting your field can become your biggest advantage in landing your next role. When you learn to use AI strategically\, you’re not just keeping up. You’re demonstrating the exact skills that make you a more competitive candidate to land a job. \nIn this webinar\, Jodi Murnick will show you how to shift your mindset about AI and then put it to work in your job search: \nReframe AI to be an advantage: \n\nWhy AI fluency is now a baseline requirement.\nHow to position yourself as someone who leverages technology\, not competes with it.\nTalk about AI in interviews without sounding defensive or obsolete.\n\nPut AI to work for you: \n\nFind hidden opportunities and decision-makers before jobs are posted.\nResearch companies and interviewers like an insider.\nCraft personalized outreach that gets responses.\nPrepare for interviews.\n\nYou will leave with a new perspective on AI and practical tools you can use immediately. No fluff\, no theory\, just strategies that give you an edge in today’s market. \nGUEST SPEAKER: Jodi Murnick is a certified coach with 25 years of experience in recruiting\, sales\, brand management\, and consulting.

SUMMARY:JobSeekers: The Reinvention Economy and How to Build Your Own Career Path Forward
DESCRIPTION:PLEASE NOTE: This event is virtual and advance registration is required.\n There will be 20 minutes of open networking with fellow job seekers after the presentation. \nClick here to register\nThe world of work has changed\, and it’s not changing back. The career ladder has been replaced by something messier\, more human\, and more demanding of the people and organizations trying to navigate it. Whether you’re finding your first job\, pivoting after a layoff\, or rethinking what success looks like at midlife\, the question isn’t just “what skills do I need?” It’s “how do I think\, adapt\, and grow in a world that won’t stop shifting?” \nOur guest speaker Dr. Shane Goldstein Smith will help you more deeply understand the reinvention economy\, share frameworks for helping you build your own path forward rather than follow a borrowed one\, and explore why emotional intelligence and strategic thinking are no longer “nice to haves\,” they are vocational skills. Expect to leave with practical takeaways\, some provocative questions\, a different way of thinking about the work you do every day and ideas to start you on forging your plan and path forward. \nGUEST SPEAKER: Dr. Shane Goldstein Smith
