How to Target Companies & Employers Part I

How to Target Companies & Employers Part I - Four out of five job openings are filled via referrals, and not through classified ads, job fairs, online job boards or external recruiters. This is one of the main reasons employers no longer rely as heavily on external recruiters and why networking is the preferred and most effective job search method. By understanding how to target companies and employers, you will increase your chances of both getting an interview and ultimately getting hired! In these workshops you will learn how to create a target company list and how to find contacts within the organization.

This program is being offered by the Port Washington Public Library's Career and Finance Department. Port Washington Public Library cardholders will receive priority registration for this event.

Presented by Maria Frey, of Executive Consultants of New York, Corp. / ECNY Foundation, Inc.
