Free session for experienced managers & executives in Europe who are currently looking for a job (or getting ready for it): “Executive Identity – your personal brand on the job market”.

Being aware of your personal brand and influencing it skillfully is the difference between “Who are you?” and “Thank you for being here” in your career. But it takes it even further: it’s the difference between the zeros on your paycheck. Or whether your phone stops ringing when you lose your job.

As the job market becomes more and more competitive and fierce, fully self-aware managers – who are visible – are in demand!

During this interactive meeting we’ll explain:
– what influences how you are perceived as a “high caliber” executive
– why some C-level candidates consistently receive the best-paid offers
– how not to be perceived as someone suffering from “multiple personality disorder”
– how to build your “Executive Identity” Read more →

About the initiative: we – Career Angels – have been providing a safe space for experienced managers and executives in this successful formula since April 2018. Due to CV-19, we adapted the format for the experience to be as effective and productive online, as it has been proven to be offline.

The underlying idea is to create a community for managers throughout Europe who have accepted the challenge of looking for a job (actively or passively), so that they can exchange their experiences, support each other through listening, words of encouragement, information and inspire each other.

The free online meetings are dedicated to specific career & job search topics and provide networking opportunities. Coming up:

• June 7, 2022: Executive Identity – your personal brand on the job market (click here for more info)
• June 28, 2022: Job Search + Networking = ?

Free session for experienced managers & executives in Europe who are currently looking for a job (or getting ready for it): “Headhunt the headhunter for your job search“.

Headhunters and Executive Search Consultants are often a mystery to experienced candidates – usually when it comes to understanding, “Why aren’t they more proactive in helping me? If I find a job, they make money!”.

During this interactive meeting we’ll explain:
– a headhunter’s role in recruitment processes (incl. how & when they are compensated)
– how to find them and then contact them effectively & actively – but not hyperactively to avoid being perceived as too pushy or desperate! (you don’t want to make it onto somebody’s “black book”)
– why it’s important to communicate with headhunters and why you should never ghost them (even if they ghost you)
– how to fine-tune your LinkedIn profile to be found at the research stage
– how to make sure to make the most of every single conversation you have with them Read more →

These are challenges of clients that a career consultant has to deal with every day. The sixth weekend of the Career Advisory postgraduate studies was devoted to preparing an effective CV and a LinkedIn profile from a job search perspective.

Free session for experienced managers & executives in Europe who are currently looking for a job (or getting ready for it): “Hacking Job Ads & Bots“.

AI is expected to replace 16% of recruitment sector jobs before 2029. These and other numbers show that technology wants to play the first fiddle on today’s job market. 60-70% of job ads for executives are filtered through so-called ATS. 75% of CVs will never be seen by human eyes. But there are ways around this!

A senior candidate who wants to be successful in their job search has to embrace technology and all that comes with it. But it’s easy to get lost, especially for those who haven’t looked for a job in a while.

During this interactive meeting, we’ll explain how to identify, understand and correctly maneuver elements of technology in every stage of the job search process, incl.:
– Applicant Tracking Systems
– LinkedIn algorithm
– pre-hire psychometric testing
– AI interviews
