Free Materials: How to set a realistic goal & how to position yourself

September 11, 2020 | CareerAngels | Free Materials

From April 14 to June 10, 2020 we conducted 2 editions of 4-module Open Webinars on job search & career management where we shared over 32h of practical tips & know-how.

Both editions have attracted approx. 1000 participants from all over the world who have spontaneously expressed that our webinars are “the best they’ve seen currently being offered for professionals / managers / executives looking for a job or trying to stay in control of their careers”.

And although the Open Webinars initiative has come to an end, we’ve decided to keep the content available – completely free of charge!

The four online sessions will guide you through the job search process step-by-step.

Module 1: How to set a realistic goal & how to position yourself
Speaker: Sandra Bichl
Topic: How to set a realistic job search goal and how to position yourself as a candidate on an unstable employer’s market:

• full of mistakes: typos, formatting, verbose content, lack of results or tangible successes
