self-marketing

"A wise man will make more opportunities than he finds."

Francis Bacon

A key part of career management is the ability to present oneself in an effective way. The self-marketing workshop provides an opportunity to gain confidence in self-presentation by understanding the job market and developing a strategy for driving career.

It gives an understanding of breadth of approaches to self-marketing, for those either in employment or seeking a new role.

By focusing on understanding oneself, the workshop enhances awareness of opportunities for self-management and provides practical advice on developing appropriate skills to maximise effectiveness in a variety of situations.

It covers the following topics:

• maintaining employability
• confidence-building
• writing for impact - CVs, letters, forms
• preparing for interview
• developing awareness of transferable skills
• networking
• presentation skills
• speculative approaches

Developing these skills is a key element in maintaining employability.
