And on Saturday June 27 Presenting Your Professional Self

A hands-on compendium to help navigate today’s job search

This hands-on program presents the basics of current resumé development styles, networking, and job search techniques.

Participants will have an opportunity to:

· Create a professional introduction, an “elevator speech” that will enable others to have a clear vision of who you are professionally.

· Develop and/or refine your resumé to meet the expectations of today’s employers

· Identify often overlooked networking opportunities

· Speak confidently about what you can bring to your next employer

Participants should bring a hard-copy of their updated resume, a pad or notebook, and a smile to the workshop.

Whether you are re-entering the workforce, are a recent graduate, were recently down-sized, or maybe you are just making sure you are ready if a new opportunity comes your way, plan to re-energize your job search and have some fun in the process.

Presented by Susan Goldstein, an organizational leader and business consultant. She has mentored business owners, managers, staff and students as they work toward professional, business, and personal goals. Susan is currently a Faculty Advisor to MBA Business Projects students at Portland State University, and she sits on the Advisory Boards of Portland’s Small Business Development Center.
