*Big Ideas Night: Job Search
Tuesday, April 13, 2021 | 8:00pm | Online
Fee: Free (access to the panel conversation); Registration: Required 

The U.S. economy has 10 million fewer jobs than it did before the pandemic, according to a recent New York Times report. That’s put a devastating percentage of people out of work—and made the search for a great job even more urgent. The whole process from resume-writing, interviewing, and negotiating can be mystifying – even more so when you’re trying to find work you enjoy. Join the event for a special Big Ideas Night. There will be a break down the job search process that gives you actionable tips for grabbing the career you deserve—and how to succeed once you get there. The panel includes: Porter Braswell (Let Them See You), Katharine Brooks (What Color Is Your Parachute? Job-Hunter’s Workbook), Steve Dalton (The Job Closer), and Kirk Snyder (Finding Work You Love), in a panel discussion moderated by Antonio Neves (Stop Living on Autopilot).

There is also a $18 ticket that will include a copy of “What Color Is Your Parachute?”, Job-Hunter’s Workbook, and a 30-minute class with Katharine Brooks, in addition to free access to the panel conversation.
