Wed, Oct 8, 6:30-8 PM - Mike Chase will present on the topic “Got work? 10 Steps to Shorten the Job Search”.

Are you getting tired of the “same old, same old” in your job search?  Are you finding yourself more distracted and less effective in your daily activities?  This presentation will help you revisit the basics in your approach and perhaps help you discover EVEN ONE NEW THING that will put you back on track and help you move forward more effectively. As a current professional in transition, Mike Chase has learned from experience what can get in the way of an effective job search.  Professionally, he is a meeting and events manager specializing in executive briefings, meeting management and facilitation.  He has held marketing or sales management roles at Hewlett-Packard Medical Products Group and Bose Corporation, and most recently managed the executive briefing program and conference center at Progress Software.  Currently he is an award-winning member of the Friendly Persuasions Toastmasters Club in Haverhill, MA.
