For those in career transition, the beginning of a new year is an ideal time for reflection: what job-search and/or re-careering actions you took that produced positive results, as well as those thoughts, ideas, and actions that could be revisited. In other words, what went well during the previous year, what you would do differently, and what you would like to accomplish in the coming year that will move your search forward. In this session, you will have an opportunity to reflect on the previous 12 months and set your course for the New Year.

Facilitated by a TBJL Career Strategist.

WHAT IS LINKS:  LINKS is an acronym for Leads, Information, Networking, Know-how, and Strategies. It is an educational and motivational program designed to help candidates prepare for the week ahead and to share conversation, contacts, and job-search information in a relaxed, friendly environment. For the unemployed professional, LINKS is a “place to go” to focus on the job search when others go to work on Monday Mornings. LINKS sessions are free and open to the public. Reservations are required.
