Making the First Call

These are the calls that you hate to make. Whether it is calling a networking contact or reaching out to a hiring manager the candidate does not know-it is those first few seconds of awkwardness that you wish you could avoid. Yet the truth remains that this is one of the best ways to get your foot in the door and move to the top of the resume pile. Using proven techniques from an experienced sales coach, Melanie will discuss ways you can quickly establish rapport and how you can move past the gatekeeper to make your case with the hiring manager.

Prior to starting RED inc, Melanie Szlucha was a hiring manager and

marketer for over 15 years. Combining presentation and communication skills

with her experience in conducting job interviews, she provides job

interviewing, resume writing, job search coaching and career presentation

services. In her "spare time," Melanie performs improvisational comedy herself. Visit Melanie at http://www.redinc.biz or call at 203-866-1606.

Secure your seat. Register at http://wno20140317.eventbrite.com/. Walk-ins are welcome on a non-guaranteed first-come, first-served basis and must fill in a registration form at the front desk as well as present a business card. We have a very limited number of available seats, remember to register early.
