Vanishing Act
Living in a world composed of social media, apps, WiFi, etc., there is no excuse for missing an interview appointment or phone interview. Just about everyone has the ability to text, email, message, tweet, call, etc. Vanishing acts have never been acceptable during the interview process but in today's world they are completely inexcusable. #jobsearch #question #interview #call #email #message #socialmedia #vanishing

Organizational leaders can be found in all generations and are often millennials. Understanding how to communicate across generations is essential to landing a new job (especially if the hiring manager is younger than you). This interactive training will bring to light challenges and opportunities to navigate these conversations, understand how technology is changing the work landscape and how to successfully communicate with coworkers across generations when you land the job. By attending this session, you will learn:
· Challenges and opportunities as an “over experienced” job seeker
· Effective strategies to communicate across generations
· Common drivers within each of the generations in the workforce
· Technology and its impact on the workforce and work culture

Friday, September 20th, from 9:00 am - 12:00 noon: The ChemPharma Association’s Philadelphia Chapter will host David Light, who will give a presentation titled: Burning My Resume. My talk is a about restoring confidence and a bias to action by overcoming the self-inflicted damage done by chronic uncertainty. I focus on the tools for elevating mindset above the resume-identity that causes confusion and inaction. To achieve the certainty summit in work or work-search means being prepared to overcome the mental habits that limit perspective and burdensome misjudgments and conventional assumptions that de-energize and demotivate. My talk maps a route of ascent to certainty enabling you to skillfully overcome the impediments to feeling: 1) confident in your thinking, words and actions; 2) confident in your relationships with your colleagues and network, your employers, and most importantly – yourself; 3) confident that the work you do all day focuses on manifesting the best efforts of your natural talents and acquired skills. Some of the key questions I cover are:
· Is my resume-identity sabotaging me?
· Why is action the antidote for uncertainty?
· What is my compass of action?
· What is brain gaming?
· How do I learn to train my brain for certainty and confidence?
· What is The Certainty Principle?
· What is my personal horizon and why is it so important?
· How do I right-size my identity for optimal performance?
· What are the important differences between what I think I did (my resume) and what I do?
· The Velcro Effect: Why do I feel stuck?
· Why am I afraid of professional conversations?
· Why do I feel frustrated in my work?
· Why do I seem to be accomplishing so little?
· How do I make a human connection in a 5-minute conversation?
· What is the central question all job interviews are really asking?
· What is the most important and unspoken motive behind every professional interaction?
· How to do I make myself memorable?
· How do I become free of care and expectation?

Thursday, July 18th, from 7:00 - 9:00 pm. A new Transition Support group titled: Emmaus Work Connectors, will hold their first introductory meeting. Concerned about the lack of security at work? Looking for work or a new job? Looking for meaningful, simpler, less stressful work? Want to differentiate yourself, prove your value? Want to be more effective, efficient, and valuable at work? We are holding a meeting to explore a new type of group. "Emmaus Work Connectors" is a new type of meeting for professionals. It's Net-Working. This meeting will emphasize the involvement of people like you who are either working or searching for work. Emphasis will be on having a Professional Buddy to journey with and doing a bit of exploratory work together (in your spare time) with a small team to find how to make work better for all of you. This first exploratory meeting will give you the details and allow you to be a part of forming how it will all work. Come and join us.
