Green Tip for the Week

Do A Home Draft Audit

Hold a lit candle next to window and door frames.  If the flame flickers, there's a gap that needs to be plugged.

"WHAT TO SAY AFTER YOUR ELEVATOR PITCH:  YOU'VE GOT MY ATTENTION, NOW WHAT?" 

In this workshop by Jason Sanders, you will learn how to describe yourself effectively to network contacts, hiring managers, and recruiters.  You will also learn to express your personal brand using a strategy that relies on your story, not a list of positions that you have held.  You'll have fun implementing these techniques right in the room before you even leave the session.  Jason Sanders leads a highly-successful recruiting practice and has placed million-dollar executives for global firms.  For more information, contact Bob Levin at blevin@galaxy.net.
