Being heads down in the job hunt during the summer months can be tough. You wake up each day with gorgeous sunshine and you find it difficult to get motivated to pick up the phone or to network with new people. You tell yourself little lies like “no one is hiring now anyway” or “I can’t go to this same networking event again” or “I’ll just enjoy the weather while I can” because you want to take off the summer to work on your tan lines and not your tag lines. To succeed in your search, summer is the best time to differentiate yourself by getting out in front of job prospects even more often – especially when your competition is sleeping in. If you want to stay on track and make even more progress, you’ll need to add some fun along the way.
Please join us for some fresh new ideas to job prospect this summer, while still making time for you to enjoy yourself. We’ll bring our creative hats, do some improv, play some games and certainly have a little fun along the way.
Here’s what we’ll cover:
1) Ideas for how to keep your mindset clear and open to new and unusual experiences
2) How to find usefulness in any idea, information or insight – to help move forward quickly
3) Simple reframing exercises to help you take what’s negative and turn it into a positive
4) Creative ways to say thank you (that won’t cost you a dime)
5) Where to find free events to reward yourself with after a long day of job search
