The Ready Series

Ready #1: Understanding Yourself through DISC

Career change candidates bring very different levels of self-awareness to the market.  How aware are you of how you behave or how others see you?  What changes in your behavior or in your ability to recognize others' behavioral patterns earlier would make you more successful? These are the questions we address in this first session using the DISC psychographic tool.  First you must prepare yourself.  Join Julie Mathern and Duke Hamm for a deeper understanding.

Ready #2: Choosing Your Target Career

Whether it's your first job or your fifteenth, you must always consider whether you are targeting a set of duties in which you will be comfortable and you will perform at your full potential, especially economically.  This session explains how The Barrett Group goes about helping candidates clarify this important question--before they begin their career search.  Julie Mathern facilitates this session with senior career coach Dan Resendes.

Ready #3: Writing a Great Resume

How many resumes have you read or written in your lifetime?  At the Barrett Group, we have read and written literally hundreds of thousands of resumes.  We know what works and what does not.  We can help you target broadly or narrowly and attract attention to your merits.    Julie Mathern and senior career coach Dan Resendes share tips and tricks.

Ready #4: Perfecting Your LinkedIn Profile

LinkedIn has become the de facto reference all job seekers and employers default to in checking references, and collecting background information.  As a tool for employment and promotion, LinkedIn offer a huge number o opportunities... to gain and lose.  This session with Julie Mathern and Angela Dunz introduces some of the most important aspects of having an effective and professional LinkedIn profile.

Ready #5: Planning Your Search

Once your target is clear and you have lined up some of the most important tools you will need such as your resume and your LinkedIn profile, it is high time to plan your search.  Every candidate begins with a different end goal in mind, so there is no single silver bullet in planning your career change, but there are extremely important principles that can help you achieve success faster.  Julie Mathern and senior career coach Waffles Natusch share their experience.
