"I attended your navigating career opportunities seminar last week. I was so inspired when I left there that I started calling everyone I know to start networking. First phone call I made was to an old colleague I used to work with. Turns out that the company she landed with is going through a big shakeup and they will be looking for executive level people. Amazing!" - Melissa DeLong

Without question, today's executive job market has become more challenging than ever. Due to forces such as global competition, merger/acquisition activity, age demographics, and the constant threat of downsizing, job security has become little more than a comforting illusion-and savvy executives need to be prepared at a moment's notice to explore new options and pursue fresh opportunities.

The challenge, however, is that many executives (especially the most successful ones) are still playing by the "old rules" and haven't acquired the tools, experience, or mindset necessary to conduct an effective search at the senior management level. Having been successfully employed for decades, and accustomed to being recruited from place to place, many executive-level candidates have grown complacent and find themselves at a major disadvantage upon encountering periods of career turbulence. Facing an alien, unfamiliar landscape, their confidence often takes a hit and they end up wasting considerable amounts of time, energy, and money on ineffective re-employment strategies.

Additionally, many top executives who are currently working express interest in gaining exposure to new opportunities, but are not aware of how to effectively expand their network and capitalize on the confidential lead generation avenues they can tap into while remaining employed.

Mark Tranter will address all of these issues, and more, in this exclusive seminar sponsored by CFO Selections.    Drawing upon Mark's 15+ years of combined experience in the executive recruiting and career coaching fields, he will provide advanced insights into what it truly takes for senior-level candidates to maintain their marketability and maximize their career success in today's market. A brief outline of the topics covered in the seminar includes:

•  Updates on the hottest Pacific NW industries and market sectors
• Tips for managing your career as a "free agent" in the new economy
• How to build your brand and increase your marketability while still employed
• Secrets to effective job search networking at the executive level
• The "best practices" for uncovering and closing executive-level opportunities
• How to get an executive recruiter's attention and work with him/her effectively
• Resume & cover letter essentials for senior-level candidates
• Advice on determining the fair market value for your skills in today's market
• The most effective Pacific NW employment websites and resources

Admission is $40 and you must be at a director level or above to attend.

Space at this event is limited to 40 attendees and is filled on a first-come, first-served basis.

The event will be located at CFO Selections offices:
14432 S.E. Eastgate Way, Suite 400
