Food for Thought

Idea of the Day: Set an intention every morning rather than setting a goal, says Katya Andresen, SVP at Capital One. If you want a new job, for example, set the intention of focusing on what you want to leave behind in your next position.
“Once we've set an intention, it shapes our perception of our environment rather than letting our circumstances shape our experience.”

These values define what’s most important in HOW people work together, and fundamentally define their culture. Making it through the culture fit gauntlet is essential to land the job. You will gain a significant advantage if you can articulate your values, and back them up with specific examples on the difference they made to your decision-making and performance.

To add insult to injury for you as a job-seeker, the jobs that you discover online may be so old that they may have been filled or closed. In his presentation, Dave will inform attendees that up to 70% of open positions are not actively published (as per several sources), and that employers often use non-published ways of finding professional talent. He will discuss ways to begin to overcome this challenge in order to be exposed to more professional opportunities. In this thought-provoking and motivational session, Dave will discuss:
1) What is the Hidden Job Market?
2) Why jobs are hidden?
3) Why hiring managers like to hire for hidden jobs?
4) Who you need to know to find more hidden jobs?
