"How to tap into the "Hidden Job Market"... A proven strategy for success.
John Corcoran, strategic business consultant and career counselor leads this lively presentation exploring how you can find those jobs that are NOT advertised, and also take advantage of opportunities that didn't exist until YOU took control of the meeting.  It is a step-by-step process, not just theories!  If you need a job or just want to explore other opportunities, this is for YOU!  This program is especially beneficial for anyone wanting to change careers -- and you know you would be great at it, but the resume doesn't say so.  For more information, contact Bob Levin at blevin@galaxy.net.
