If you are looking for a senior level position or exploring new options and fresh opportunities for maximum efficiency, this is the seminar for you.

Without question, today's executive job market has become more challenging than ever -- but many executives (especially the most successful ones) are still playing by the "old rules" and haven't acquired the tools necessary to conduct an effective search at the senior management level. Having been successfully employed for decades, many executive-level candidates have grown complacent and find themselves at a major disadvantage upon encountering periods of career turbulence.

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 while remaining employed.

Mark Tranter and Matt Youngquist have experience in building networks and coaching executives, and will provide advanced insights into what it takes for senior-level candidates to maximize career success in today's market.

Some of the topics covered in the seminar include:

• 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 or her effectively
• Resume and 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
• How to use the Puget Sound Business Journal to identify job opportunities with growing companies
