with  TOM GOODWIN

The job search can be incredibly challenging. And if you’re not careful those challenges can get in the way of the effectiveness of your efforts.

Join us for this forum facilitated by Tom Goodwin to discuss challenges 40plus job seekers have brought up before including:

  • The use of technology including social media and blogging.
  • Advantages to maturity to companies when hiring.
  • Taking part time employment, temping or internships.
  • And other topics the today's audience might be interested in discussing.

Please bring ideas and experiences, or any tools and tips that have made your job search a little less challenging.

If you'd like, we'd encourage you to bring a copy of your resume.
