Presentation: “Your 2021 Career – Becoming a VictOR Rather than a VictIM”

We remember 9/11 like it was last week. We felt like our whole world was crumbling. We were glued to the TV set for updates and we expected life to never go back to normal. Things ultimately got better, but each of us was forever changed by the tragedy. Now here we are again. Things changed in a big way nearly overnight. You can’t be alive and not be at least a bit unsettled about your career. However…there are things you can do to stay in control of your career and maybe even thrive during these challenging times. We’ll discuss these topics and more:

1) How can I network without going to live meetings?
2) Do I really have to become a video interview expert?
3) How can I keep myself motivated?
4) How can I reinvent myself?

All attendees will receive a FREE 28 page Job Search Resource Guide

The Breakfast Club NJ Presents: How to “Keep Pace” in a Post-COVID World – Preparing for Disrupted Ecosystems and the “New Normal”
 by George Pace

Presentation: How to “Keep Pace” in a Post-COVID World – Preparing for Disrupted Ecosystems and the “New Normal”

What if you had a “Disruption RoadMap” that told you:
The life disruptions you were going to encounter
When those disruptions were going to happen
And more importantly – what you needed to do to prepare.  

But as we saw during 2020, no such Roadmap exists.   And while it may have seemed COVID-19 was a singular disruption; it was  in reality, a cascading sequence of disruptions that included:
Social Distancing / Contactless Services
Economic Shutdowns / Company Bankruptcies
Supply Chain Disruptions
Increased Automation / Increased e-Commerce
Work From Home / Remote Networking

Another thing that may not have been obvious, is that Newton’s third law (“For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction”) was in full effect.   Just consider the following  reactions to the above disruptions – and how those reactions are changing a range of behaviors :
Companies that invested in ”Work From Home” Infrastructures, Automation and/or “Touchless”  technologies
Employee’s whose attitudes have changed regarding “Work from Home” and where they live
Consumer behaviors that have embraced online experiences and conveniences – which will be hard to take away

And for good measure, if you thought technology was moving quickly prior to COVID-19 – as the old saying goes – “you ain’t seen nuthin yet”.

So is it any wonder people are curious as to what the “Future of Work” in a post-COVID world is going to look like – and more importantly – asking what they can do to “Keep Pace” in a VERY disruptive world?

Come join George as he unveils his BRAND-NEW Presentation for 2021 – developed off his extensive “Pandemic Research” and insights shared during his Live Facebook Webinars.    He will build off his 2020 “Future of Work” Framework – by aligning the most significant disruptions to the framework, the permanent disruptions they are causing – and sharing his insights as to how to best prepare to “Keep Pace” with the changes that are most certainly coming

Presentation: “You Are The Chief Marketing Officer Of Your Brand And Job Search”

Abstract
While many of us may not think this way, each of us is a brand. Our past experience, passions outside of work, education, community involvement, family, background and our social media channels all comprise our personal brand. As we evolve throughout our career, our brand evolves. As we seek our next job opportunity, we must understand and acknowledge that we are the chief marketing officer of our personal brand. No matter our career focus – accounting, information technology or human resources – if we are actively seeking our next job, we must think and act like a chief marketer each and every day of our job search. 

Mark Beal

Our speaker: Mark Beal

Presentation: So, Tell Me about Yourself

You know it’s coming. Your anxiety increases, the pressure is on, your mind races, and then you hear the dreaded words, “So, tell me about yourself.”

Now what? You can’t figure out what the interviewer is really asking, let alone what the right answer should be. You might not be the perfect fit, and you don’t want to reveal your weaknesses. You don’t know how much detail to provide or how much of your life should be shared. Should you focus on your experience? your skills? something else?

Such a simple request, but one fraught with peril. The air that just got sucked out of the room slowly returns while your panic continues to escalate, and still, you’re fumbling for a response.

Now imagine that you actually looked forward to having this be your first interview question. It’s the question that can be a make or break and set the tone for the rest of the interview.

 Alex Freund, The Landing Expert, will pull the curtain back and guide you in how to respond so that hiring managers are impressed and therefore left wanting to know more about you.

 In this seminar, you will: 

  • Learn where the power lies behind this question.
  • Understand the hiring manager’s motivations behind this question.

Presentation: “Body Language for Job Seekers – Virtual and Live”

This presentation addresses body language best practices for live and virtual communications. Humans take in and process information consciously and unconsciously about EVERYTHING, but see, hear and sense, SELECTIVELY.  When it comes to meeting someone new for the first time, how you look and sound, smell, listen, dress and behave, matter as much as what you say, don’t say or how you say it.
Do you answer a question in 2 minutes or take ten?  Are you fidgety, stiff or relaxed?  Are you comfortable with your voice and/or image?  Though people react to these aspects differently, the fact is they do react.  We are more than our bodies, yet knowing some basics for managing them in interviews, presentations and networking, can support your communication confidence and “performance.”
