Finding or changing jobs is not always a simple task. We often feel that we are facing an uncertain world and don't know if we are doing everything possible to get a job that we are sure about. Looking for work can be a long and frustrating road.

“The Art of Looking for a Job” is a session that will help you understand the job market and the flow of new hires, and offers a method that will guide you step by step through the phases of looking for a job.

Acquire the skills and tools necessary to apply this networking-based method. Seventy percent of job opportunities are not published. Five out of ten people find work thanks to their contacts. But does contacting a lot of people really help? How do I get these contacts? How do I establish relationships of trust and confidence? These and other issues are what we will address during the session through the method “The Art of Looking for a Job,” which will guide you when it comes to discovering what you want to work in and get the work you like.

Learn the tools and develop the skills that will help you take on the job search.

The session will be dynamic and attendees will participate. Activities will be carried out during the session so that attendees can draw their own conclusions.
