Career Management: Get a Promotion; Get a Job
You are in control of your own career. Start now.
Learn how to earn that promotion. Learn how to get that job.
On April 29, 2009 from 11am to 12:15 a career management seminar will be conducted at The NOVA Theater at the Alexandria Campus of the Northern Virginia Community College.
Save the date. The seminar is at no-charge and is open to the public. Space is limited and registration is required. Email me to hold your seat.
We will cover:
The five rules to getting promoted:
1) Don’t make the boss nervous.
2) Deliver Completed Staff Work.
3) Adopt the US Army’s definition of discipline (and it’s not what you think).
4) Find a friend.
5) Get your boss promoted.
Your next big job. It will be:
A) From someone you know (slightly).
B) A created position.
C) In high technology.
The thoughtful professional knows that he is constantly selling his knowledge, skills and abilities to his boss and to his peers.
The professional knows also that each position on the company organization chart can be an opportunity to be groomed with a track record of success — to move easily to a higher level…or another company.
The professional in a job search has the choice of pro-actively conducting a sales and marketing campaign to move to his next assignment by selling the intangible of his talent.
If the seminar attendee is on the job market, his choice is networking or not working.
The seminar reviews the steps needed to secure more responsibility within an organization or even another position inside his company — or outside his current employer.
The purpose of this career management seminar is to increase your value to your current employer and to your future company.
And to prepare the attendee to move and to be ready to change jobs in a fast changing, uncertain world.
Who: Professionals interested in earning a promotion or seeking increased responsibilities or in conducting a job search.
What: The career management seminar will equip the attendee with strategies and tactics on how to increase the attendees’ value in the marketplace of talent and to command greater compensation in another position.
