“Despite signs of an economic recovery, job seekers still find themselves in a challenging and highly competitive marketplace. Vault has a long history of providing the critical insight and information to enable high potential candidates to build and execute a well planned job search strategy.
Vault’s proven tools help candidates identify the right industry, the right role and the right company,” said Claude Sheer, Vault CEO. “Our career experts will pack this one hour session with experiences and strategies built over a combined 40 years of career management experience.”
Vault career experts and SixFigureStart co-founders Connie Thanasoulis-Cerrachio and Caroline Ceniza-Levine are former Fortune 500 recruiters who have led staffing groups at Citigroup, Warner-Lambert-Pfizer, Merrill Lynch and Time Inc. Together, the duo will be on hand to provide resume writing, interview preparation, and other job search-related advice. They are prepared to answer the toughest job search quandaries for those at the executive level to those beginning their first job search.
Participants can look forward to discovering answers to some of the following questions:
I am losing jobs after getting to the final round of the interview process. What am I doing wrong?
How do I respond when a job posting asks for a salary history and requirements?
I am working full-time. What’s the best way to manage time during a part-time job search?
I am miserable in my new job after less than six months. How can I leave without damaging future prospects?
“The job search is tough and only candidates with exceptional job search skills are getting placed,” said Connie Thanasoulis-Cerrachio. “Taking part in these webinars will give you the edge needed to beat the competition, and there is a lot of competition out there, from the employed to the unemployed; and let’s not forget the college graduates that will be hitting the job marketplace in May. Get all the critical advice you need during your lunch break.”
