Getting to a Decision Maker through trusted referrals is the secret to most hiring and promotional decisions. However, once you get there, how can you sell yourself to them to close the deal (promote you or hire you)?

This course discusses the use of Referral Meetings as the secret of getting into the door. Then we will review the use of how to construct and use a resume (which is really a response to a request for proposal) for employees and job seekers. Next, we discuss the sales call itself (interviewing) and how to negotiate terms. Finally, we wrap up with how to land your next position successfully and begin the process of next steps toward the next opportunity for a lifetime of career success.

By applying each of the steps of the Road Map for Career and Job Search Success, you can Revolutionize Your Career Competitive Edge and take control of your future career success.
