Two-Hour Job Search Workshop with Steve Dalton

West Los Angeles Graduate Campus
6100 Center Drive, Room 333
Los Angeles, CA 90045
Saturday, October 25, 2014, 9:30am – 12pm

The ability to predictably secure internal referrals is a fundamental skill for both job seekers and new hires. In this workshop, Fuqua career coach and The 2-Hour Job Search author Steve Dalton offers an exact process – rather than a series of tips – for effectively turning strangers into advocates, leading to more interviews and better internal networks.

This workshop provides an alternative to online job posting “black holes” by turning the difficult topic of networking into something finite and replicable. To create this process, Dalton drew upon the latest science, ranging from behavioral economics to operations theory to social psychology to splitting networking into its three component parts: prioritization, outreach and informational interviewing. Each will be discussed to help job seekers harness a highly-curated list of technology to get the right job faster.
