Free Professional Development and Networking

by | Sep 22, 2011

Retro MicrophoneWhat value do you place on free professional development and networking events, like free webinars, hashtag chats on Twitter, and free in-person career events?

We’ll talk about some of these ideas and hopefully share perspectives on free professional development and networking, in contrast to specialized help you pay for, formalized mentoring, short courses, books. etc.

Call in and let me know what you think!

I’ll be talking about a new upcoming hashtag chat I am putting together with #SASearch which will be entirely devoted to job search issues in student affairs. We’re hoping to start next week and have a weekly opportunity to discuss job search issues. We’ll be using the hashtag #sasearch and

Also, I’ll share of my experiences with webinar platforms, especially those that are free, including BigMarker, which I used this week, and others.

And finally, I am going to talk a bit about Hiring for Hope, a great non-profit here in Georgia which I volunteered for recently and about my fundraising campaign on FirstGiving to support this charity.

I help higher ed professionals take control of their careers with tailored services including resume and CV development, LinkedIn profile optimization and networking strategy, interview coaching, and one-on-one career guidance.

I can enthusiastically recommend Sean’s services as a career coach. He was the only coach I could find who understood how higher education works and the intricacies of the hiring process.

Sean’s advice, resume, and cover letter work is excellent, but the most helpful for me was his interview prep. The practice sessions were incredibly helpful and significantly boosted my confidence in interviews. 10 out of 10.

Thanks.
