Job Framework Workshop - career coach Linda Sollars

This meeting will be online via Zoom only. See Zoom info below.

Those seeking employment often struggle with explaining what type of work they are looking for. About 7 years ago Linda Sollars developed an easy way to develop a framework for the job you are seeking and can be used for informational interviews, interviews and networking.

Linda will talk about the need for a job framework, the uses of a job framework, the process for developing this framework, and using these in interviews and networking. She will be showing specific job posting websites and the stages of developing a job framework.

- Needs: Describing job you are seeking, interviews, networking
- Uses: Define your job expectations, compare to job postings, provide for Informational Interviews and use in interviewing
- Process: View job postings and select bullet points that you have done and want to continue doing or haven’t done but want to do, group bullet points by headings, select final bullets onto a separate page with name, email, phone.
- Using - Describe ways to use this during informational interviews, interviews and networking.
