Speaker: Tammy Kabell of Career Resume Consulting
Topic: “Competing in all Eight Segments of the Job Market”
With today’s competition, you need to plan on generating a lot of interest in your talents and promote yourself in as many market segments as possible.
Therefore, it’s important to understand that there are eight segments of the current job market, five of which are published, and three of which are unpublished. Most job seekers only use two or three of the eight segments available to them, which significantly limits their exposure to job opportunities.
Tammy Kabell of Career Resume Consulting will provide you with specific strategies for promoting yourself in all eight segments, strategies that have been highly successful for her clients transitioning to new senior level positions.
Speaker Bio:
Tammy Kabell is a job search strategist, resume writer and owner of Career Resume Consulting. She is an expert at marketing her six figure clients into new positions within weeks, having eight years experience in the career industry and 18 years as a hiring manager.
Tammy is considered a national authority in the hiring industry, having been featured as an expert multiple times in The Wall Street Journal, MSNBC.com, Monster, CareerBuilder, TheLadders.com, The Kansas City Star and dozens of other online and paper publications.
Agenda:
