Upcoming Career Workshop with Jack Molisani  Join this workshop on Saturday, April 20, 2013 and jump-start your career! STC Wisconsin and STC Chicago are pleased to present this joint event. The event contains two parts:
Part I: Career Advancement Through Personal Branding
"I recently went to a conference where attendees' name tags included the phrase, 'Ask me about... [then the answer attendees provided when registering].' While the intent was to give attendees a way to break the ice when networking, I realized the whole concept of personal branding could be summarized by that simple statement, 'Ask me about...'
Part II: Honing Your Workplace Negotiation Skills
We're all negotiating for what we want, whether deciding which movie to see with a friend, managing the scope of a project, or asking for a raise. In Part II of our career workshop, Jack will facilitate a hands-on negotiation workshop.
