Join Lalena Kennedy, Career Strategist for The Digital Job Search

In an era of massive technological change, employers are challenged to identify better ways to source and engage talent, according to recruiters.

The reality is the talent management market has radically shifted and continues to do so. When the last economic downturn of 2008 forced companies to cut recruiting costs, more economical platforms like LinkedIn and job aggregator Indeed rose in dominance.

When you see a fit or get an alert it’s obvious to add your resume to a website and apply.

However, if that is the only way you are handling your digital job search, you definitely won’t maximize your results.

If it’s been a few years (or more!) since you looked for a new job, you’ll notice the job search process has changed a lot.

From submitting an online application to preparing for a video interview, Lalena will walk you through all the steps in navigating a digital job search.

Lalena Kennedy will cover topics such as:
• Optimizing your resume for the ATS
• Updating your online presence (especially LinkedIn)
• Ways to network online
• Finding jobs beyond the online job board
• How to prepare for a digital interview
• Online resources for job seekers

Participants will leave prepared to launch an aggressive and strategic job search embracing social media, online networking, and interviewing remotely.
