The Housatonic River Job Network will be hosting Liz Dederer, founder and CEO of Selling With Service as its guest speaker on Thursday, March 12 at 6:30 p.m. at High Plains Community Center in Orange.
Dederer will present her “10 Best Tips to Improve the Quality and Value of Your Job Search.” Targeting boomers and “elder millennials” as she calls them, Dederer will be “giving the un-sugar-coated strategies to land the job you deserve.”
Selling With Service focuses on teaching entrepreneurs, small business owners and up-and-coming sales professionals on how to close clients quickly. She draws a comparison between the sales process and the job search process, often saying, “In sales, your objective is to close clients all the time. The beauty of a job search is you only need to close one.”
Dederer collaborated with private equity backed retail companies to develop strategies and assemble C-suite leadership teams. She also successfully completed numerous executive searches, most for confidential clients. She developed, oversaw and executed successful business development initiatives and processes. She previously served as a consultant to SCORE, as well as the Women’s Business Development Council.
Dederer will present an interactive workshop for job seekers. The goal is to ensure attendees get out of any ruts or bad habits that may be slowing down their progress.
The Housatonic River Job Network is an open group dedicated to those underemployed or in transition to meet, share leads, hear guest speakers and obtain information for their job search. High Plains Community Center is located at 525 Orange Center Rd. in Orange. For more information, contact Alex Yaworowski at alexy56@hotmail.com.
