<p><strong>Dana has two presentations ready to help job seekers <em><span style="text-decoration: underline;">and</span></em> career seekers:</strong></p>
<h2><strong><span style="color: #0000ff;">Cut the Crap, Get a Job!</span> </strong>A New Job Search Process for a New Era</h2>
<p>Only the best candidate wins the job. Yes, it is a competition.  Hiring managers want to hire someone who has the skills they need and someone who is going to be successful.  However, the way job-seekers are hunting for jobs is working against them.  There are two types of “crap” in the job search today:  One: the excuses job-seekers make for themselves that hold them back.  Two: if they get past the first barrier, they’re making errors that sabotage any chance they had.</p>
<p>This presentation, which can also be delivered as a hands-on workshop, will not only teach job-seekers and career coaches how to win against both barriers, but it will give them new, innovative ways to stand out and win the job they want.</p>
<p>Warning:  this is not for the thin-skinned or the one who wants the easy way out.  My job process calls for discipline, attention-to-detail and incredible organization. I show samples and engage with the audience to assure they understand the do’s, don’ts, tricks and traps.</p>
<p style="text-align: left; padding-left: 30px;"><strong>Program Take-Aways:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Discover the high bar required to pass every step of the job search process, including setting a goal, preparing, networking and applying.</li>
<li>Learn how a three-step process and tools will change your game and odds.</li>
<li>Practice what you learned and leave ready to win the job you want and need.</li>
</ul>
<h2><span style="color: #0000ff;"><strong>Cut the Crap, Network for Success! </strong></span>A New Networking Process for Today’s Era</h2>
<p>The old techniques of “schmoozing,” asking contacts if they’ve <em>heard of any jobs lately</em>, or asking someone you don’t know if they’ll meet with you are GONE.  And new social media techniques, which I’m a fan of, have further enabled an even sloppier, lazier approach.  Plus, there are two types of “crap” in the networking process today:  the first is the excuses networkers make for themselves and second, the errors that sabotage their chances of developing high quality, two-way relationships.</p>
<p>This presentation (or hands-on workshop) will not only teach college students and professionals how to win against both types of “crap,” but it will give them new, innovative ways to stand out develop important connections for life and career success.</p>
<p>Warning:  this is not for the thin-skinned or the one who wants the easy way out.  My networking process calls for discipline, attention-to-detail and incredible organization.   I show samples and engage with the audience to assure they understand the do’s, don’ts, tricks and traps.</p>
