Job Search Lessons Learned
with Pam Caldwell and Joanne Kasten

Two of our local ATD members will each share what they learned as job seekers who recently got their dream jobs, one in private industry and one with the State of Texas. Pam Caldwell will highlight how she approached her job search, what she learned, and how it prepared her for the job she was offered.

Joanne Kasten will share how she updated her Work-in-Texas job application to get interviews, and ultimately her dream job. She will talk about matching professional skills to application qualifications, as well as how to fulfill other parts of the online application process. Joanne's new position is Training Development Specialist at the Department of Agriculture, Food and Nutrition. 

In this fast-paced program you will learn:

  • Networking for job leads
  • Presenting yourself in print
  • How to handle offers for help
  • Matching skills to application requirements
  • How to win in the online application process
  • Key ideas for surviving the job search
