Milestone #1 Survey Your Professional Environment: Surveying your profession and industry helps you to better understand the overall environment in which you will be conducting your search.
Milestone #2 Determine Your Professional Objective: A professional objective gives direction to your search, sets the tone for your resume and other communications, and helps you select and prioritize your contact and target lists.
Milestone #3 Create Your Communications Strategy and Resume: A good communications strategy ensures that the key qualifications and assets supporting your professional objective are part of all your written and verbal communications and directed to your target market audience.
Milestone #4 Define Your Target Market: In order to conduct an effective job search, you must know precisely who you are trying to reach.
Milestone #5 Gather Marketplace Information: With your target market defined, you need to begin gathering information about your marketplace in order to identify organizations that are most likely to meet your personal criteria.
Milestone #6 Get Your Message Out: Getting the message out about who you are and what you have to offer people who are likely to hire you is at the heart of the job search process.
Milestone #7 Talk with Hiring Managers: Although it takes only one person to make the decision to hire you, it generally takes many conversations with hiring managers to uncover the right opportunity.
Milestone #8 Consider Other Methods of Search: Getting the word out by talking to people remains the most effective job search method, but you will also want to consider other methods
Milestone #9 Interview, Cultivate Offers and Negotiate: Every discussion with hiring managers should be considered an interview.
Milestone #10 Transition into a New Position: A successful career transition is complete once you are established in your new role.

Bunch of us went today. They show you the DOs and DON'Ts when it comes to resumes, and they prepare you for the interview process. Even if you're not looking for a job right now, there is still a lot you can learn from this workshop. I'm looking forward to day two.

How did it go today, Robert? I am going to go to the one next week for sure. Does it feel like work?????
Re: Lee Hecht Harrison information~Work Seminar
I haven't had to look for a job in over 20 years, so I took home a lot of useful information. To me, it didn't feel like work at all. Nothing like traffic school I went to last Saturday.
If anyone is looking for a job, do yourself a favor and attend at least the first day. Then you can decide if you want to come back for day two.
Re: Lee Hecht Harrison information~Work Seminar
G & J did not make it to the second day. They went to Tahoe and spent some of their Tribune windfall. G & J will not be attending the second day either. Sleep is priority when you are retired.
Re: Lee Hecht Harrison information~Work Seminar
I think that if you attend this work shop you should watch out not to mention any good lead. These people might snag them from right under you steel toe boots.
Re: Lee Hecht Harrison information~Work Seminar
Point taken Big Clamp!
I went today. It was very informative. I'm not really going for the typical job market, but certainly the information they are teaching will be useful in some respect. I'll complete the seminar tomorrow. I was able to meet a lot of interesting people there today from many different lines of work. One guy was even an HR guy from a large company that quit his job as he had to be involved in several mergers & acquisitions that required him to lay off thousands. He said he just couldn't stomache it anymore......HhhhMmmm....they do ahve a heart, good to know.
