This talk covers fundamentals of how to effectively search and land your next best opportunity, both internally, or with a new organization, through the perspectives of two seasoned recruiting colleagues in the cleared space. At every chapter of their career journeys, Kirsten and Drake had different perspectives that will impact how they progressed. Most factors along the way we can't control, but we can respond as if every factor is an opportunity.
3 Learning Objectives:
Searching Strategically (beyond the posting) then connecting meaningfully (volunteering, contributing, engaging) Standing out as a candidate - Getting seen and responded to Taking that leap (into a new role, either internally or at a new company)
This discussion breaks their experience into requirements and techniques that candidates can arm themselves with at each stage they find themselves in, to find and obtain the position that fits best for them.
