Russell Library Job Group

This week’s Job Group:*Special Session- no speaker*Jason Neely and Bob Carlson: “LinkedIn Photo Shoot”
3/19/15 Hubbard Room, 10:00am-12noon

The Russell Library Job and Career Program will offer professional portraits for your LinkedIn profile. The photo session begins at 10:00am and continues to 12:00noon. No appointment is necessary. Each sitting takes about 5 minutes and you’ll need to have an email address as your image will be sent directly to your account.

Remember to dress as you would for an interview - the photo will be a “head shot” from the top of the shoulders. A good photo will make meeting someone in real life easier and it’s probably a good time to replace that high school yearbook photo!

The Russell Library LinkedIn Photo Shoot is funded by a Community Development Block Grant, The Friends of the Russell Library and a generous donation by the Thomas Regan Family. Professional Lighting Equipment is funded by the Walmart Foundation. No registration necessary- walk-ins welcome.

This Week!! Dr. Marcia LaReau:

“The Ultimate Comprehensive Job Search Troubleshooting Guide” 3/17/15 Hubbard Room, 6-8pm. As we move forward in the new technology-driven, global economy, being employed may actually be an interruption to our job search! We are moving towards a labor-on-demand employment model and everyone will be required to find and secure his or her next source of income.

Disruptive technologies and other innovations threaten employers and jobs in both the public and private sector. Entire industries will shut down and new ones will surface almost overnight. These changes will necessitate a change in our thinking. Truly, everyone who needs an income may soon be looking for employment, even if they have a job!

As we shift our thinking to this new concept of income-earning, we will need a flexible troubleshooting guide for every step of the job-search process. This presentation will shed some light on upcoming changes in the job market and provide advice to help tackle the challenges of tomorrow.
