On Saturday, November 9, 2013, JETAA Chicago will host its annual Career Workshop and Networking Event. The event will be held at the Japan Information Center (737 North Michigan Avenue, Suite 1000, Chicago, Illinois 60611). The event will start at 2:30 PM.
We’ve lined up a few great speakers to talk about a range of topics for job-seekers, mid-career professionals, and anyone looking to hone valuable skills including: resume and professional writing, networking and effectively utilizing LinkedIn.
First up is Charlotte Weeks, an executive career coach and resume writer who specializes in helping leaders find their passion and land at the top. As a featured author of “101 Great Ways to Enhance Your Career” and “I Want a Job in an Association – Now What?? A Guide to Getting a Job in a Professional Association, Membership Organization, or Society,” she regularly gives presentations and conducts career development training sessions.
The second session will feature experts R. David Rahn and Larry New with their presentation “LinkedIn, What’s That Noise?” Mr. Rahn and Mr. New will walk us through discovering, learning and understanding how to best utilize LinkedIn. They will share their strategies for using LinkedIn to leverage your professional network for professional development, job seeking, and networking.
A wine and cheese networking reception will immediately follow the presentations. The event is free of charge and all are welcome to attend. Put your networking skills to good practice by meeting other professionals and members of the community.
