Social Media for Job Searching

with  Len Fardella

Over 90% of companies use social media

as part of their hiring process.

It makes a difference! 

You're at a significant disadvantage if your approach to job search is nothing more than finding and applying to job posts. The job search game has changed and the winners are those who understand the new rules. 

Join Len for a fast paced 90 minute exploration of the new game, new rules, tools and how you play to win or more appropriately, get hired.

Are you ready to win the game?

Turbo-Charged Networking

Ottawa Public Library - Emerald Plaza Branch 

1547 Merivale Road, 

6:30-8:00 pm


Turbo-Charged Networking!
with Len Fardella
from Peter's New Jobs

Turbo-Charged Networking is all about combining face-to-face networking with online (Linkedin, Twitter, email) follows ups. In its most basic form, you bring IRL (aka, in real life) and online experiences together in a planned and orchestrated manner.

I want to get you excited about the possibilities, help you understand where you need to invest time and effort, highlight preparatory (aka, boring) work that you need to complete before you start and finally, explore a few of the tools and processes around networking.  Hopefully, I'll whet your interest in the actual art of face to face networking.

Time permitting, we will finish the evening with a few minutes of speed networking to send you off home hyped and ready to go.

Len Fardella of Peter's New Jobs will be your guide, cheerleader and task master for the evening.

Are you ready to take action?
