  Networking Your Way to Your Next Job

  Molly Wendell, of Arizona Executives, the largest executive networking group in Phoenix, will teach us how to use networking in person to dig our way out of the black hole of job postings on the internet. After 15 years in sales, marketing and business development including ten years with IBM Corporation, Molly found herself looking for a job... She landed the job she wanted in a field in which she had no previous experience or connections. Through this process she developed a network numbering in the thousands, and learned first-hand the winning strategies in the game of networking. She'll share her tips on networking your way to your next job.

  The Savvy Jobseeker Interview Prep Guide Now Available!

  Special notice to all: Job hunters, career changers, recently unemployed, frustratingly underemployed workers, recent graduates, and the employed but miserable...
  
  Does the thought of going on another interview makes your knees shake, your palms sweat, and your head ache? Do you feel that you consistently fall flat on interviews? Have you been on dozens of interviews that lead absolutely nowhere?
  
  What if you could walk into every single interview armed with a secret weapon: inside information.

  • You’d be completely prepared when you got "the call" from perspective employers.
  • You’d know which mistakes to avoid during the pre-interview phase.
  • You’d know how to dress to give the interviewer the right impression.
  • You'd know how to prepare for a successful interview.
  • You’d understand that what you don’t say can speak volumes and give the interviewer a bad impression of you.
  • You’d avoid interviewers’ pet peeves like one-word responses or answers that never quite seem to get to the point.
  • You’d know what kinds of questions to expect from the interviewer.
  • 
    
  • More importantly, you’d know how to give responses that resonate with the interviewer and make it clear that you are indeed a good fit for the organization.
  • 
    

  Take a moment to consider the incredible advantage you'd have over every other job candidate invited to interview for that position?
  
  The ability to “get inside the head” of the interviewer would give you a decided advantage over other job candidates. This incredibly powerful, “inside” information would enable you to interview like a pro and outshine the competition. You’d walk into each and every interview with the kind of quiet confidence that impresses interviewers.
  
  Understanding the perspective of your interviewer; knowing what questions she tends to ask; what she is looking for; and how she’ll interpret both your words and your actions would be an invaluable asset to any job candidate.
  
  This is the kind of powerful advantage that The Savvy Jobseeker’s Interview Prep Guide was designed to give you.
