Ecotech Institute to Host Webinar on the Demand for Skilled Labor in Renewable Energy Careers and Sustainable Industries

Leave a comment

30-minute webinar will discuss what’s missing in the hiring pool for green energy jobs

Denver, CO, January 24, 2014 – On Tuesday, January 28, Ecotech Institute will hold a 30-minute afternoon webinar, “Demand for Skilled Labor,” that takes a look at why it’s so hard to find employees for positions in renewable energy and sustainable industries. Other questions the webinar will address include:

* What’s currently missing in the hiring pool for the renewable energy and sustainable industry?

* What is skilled labor?

* What soft skills are needed for these green energy jobs?

* What training and hard skills are needed?

Sue Pawlak, Ecotech Institute’s Area Director of Career Placement, will host the event. The webinar will be broken up into two parts: a 20-minute presentation, followed by a 10-minute question-and-answer session.

“When I meet with hiring managers I often hear that they need employees who have very specific training in wind and solar energy, who know the equipment inside and out and they want people who have had hands-on experience,” said Pawlak. “If employers don’t have to spend a ton of time on green energy training, they’d definitely prefer not to and that’s where applicants with skilled labor can really shine.”

Bryant & Stratton College Online Hosts Webinar: What Type of Resume is Best?

Leave a comment

January 10 webinar will teach job seekers about the different types of resume formats, how to know when to use them and practical resume tips

Buffalo, NY, December 20, 2013 – The average recruiter spends about six seconds looking at a single resume, according to a study by The Ladders. That means job seekers have six seconds to highlight their skills and expertise, making the format of a resume as important as the content. For that reason, Bryant & Stratton College Online announced today a new session in its career information webinar series titled “What Type of Resume is Best for You?” The webinar will be held on Friday, January 10 from noon to 1 p.m. EST.

During the “What Type of Resume is Best for You?” webinar, attendees will learn practical tips and advice to improve their resume. Some of the topics covered in the webinar will include:

* The difference between chronological, functional, skills based and combination resumes

* When to use each type of resume

* How to take a resume from responsibility-focused to success-focused

* Dos and Don’ts of resume writing

The webinar will be led by Cindy Carpenter and Albanitza Mayoliz who handle recruiting at Verizon for the Call Center and Retail Sales Channel, respectively. Ms. Carpenter and Ms. Mayoliz are responsible for reviewing applications and qualifications, identifying quality candidates, coordinating interviews, extending offers and on boarding new hires. Both women are experienced recruiters with extensive knowledge in recruiting practices, talent acquisition, on boarding, hiring, career fairs, resume writing and career advancement and social media.

“There is an art to putting together a resume that most job seekers underestimate. A typical recruiter may have to sort through hundreds, or even thousands, of resumes to fill a position. A strong resume needs to communicate quickly and concisely why a job seeker deserves to be considered for a position. To do that sometimes requires deviating from the standard chronological format,” said Ms. Carpenter.

The “What Type of Resume is Best for You?” career information webinar is offered for free by Bryant & Stratton College Online and is open to current students, prospective students and others seeking information about how to write a resume. Those interested in attending are invited to register at http://online.bryantstratton.edu/webinar/.

“Career preparation is an integral part of what we provide students at Bryant & Stratton College Online. The career information webinar series has been a successful way to educate students not only on how to do a job, but also on how to get a job. We are grateful that Ms. Carpenter and Ms. Mayoliz have offered to share their expertise with job seekers,” said Scott Traylor, Campus Director for Online Education at Bryant & Stratton College.

Bryant & Stratton College Online Hosts Career Information Webinar on Top Interview Tips

Leave a comment

On August 14, career expert Stephen Krempl will offer practical advice to current and prospective students on how to stand out during an interview

Buffalo, NY, August 01, 2013 – When it comes to a job interview, knowing what the hiring manager wants is essential to landing the position. To help current and prospective students as well as recent graduates get inside the mind of a hiring manager, Bryant & Stratton College Online announced a new session in its career information webinar series. The webinar, “You’ve Got the Interview, Now What? How to Stand Out from the Crowd,” will be held on Wednesday, August 14 from noon to 1 p.m. EDT.

Earlier this year, Harris Interactive asked hiring managers about the most common interview mistakes as a part of an annual study conducted on behalf of CareerBuilder. Those interviewed reported “appearing disinterested” (62 percent) was the top misstep made by candidates. “Answering a cell phone or texting” (60 percent), “dressing inappropriately” (60 percent) and “failure to make eye contact” (72 percent) also made the list of interview errors. To help job seekers, Bryant & Stratton College Online has invited career expert Stephen Krempl to discuss how to avoid those and other gaffes.

Mr. Krempl is the President of Krempl Communications International (KCI), a company that focuses on management and executive development. Before starting KCI, Mr. Krempl was the Vice President of Global Learning at Starbucks Coffee Company and served in senior training and education roles at Fortune 500 companies such as YUM Brands, PepsiCo and Motorola.

“Landing an interview can be very exciting, but too many candidates falter because they don’t understand what hiring managers want,” said Mr. Krempl. “In this webinar, I’ll help job seekers understand the world of hiring managers and how to answer interview questions that help move the interviewer from ‘should we hire you?’ to ‘we should hire you.’”

The “You’ve Got the Interview, Now What? How to Stand Out from the Crowd,” webinar will provide practical tips and advice for job seekers on ways to be savvy interviewers. Key takeaways for webinar attendees will include:

* Understanding why the first five minutes of an interview are crucial and what to do in those initial minutes

* The competencies hiring managers are looking for from interview answers

* Reading the subtext of a question to understand its purpose

* A framework to answering questions that will help make a lasting impression on the interviewer

“Helping our students and other job seekers develop employability skills is critical to the mission of Bryant & Stratton College Online. The interview process can be arduous if someone is unprepared. This webinar will help anyone looking for a job better understand what is happening on the other side of the table and improve their chances of being hired,” said Scott Traylor, Campus Director for Online Education at Bryant & Stratton College. “We are grateful that Mr. Krempl is willing to share his knowledge and expertise for free. Our career information webinar series is a tremendous resource for all job seekers and we look forward to hosting this year’s events.”

This webinar is the first in a series of three from Mr. Krempl. In September, he will discuss what to do in the first 30 days of a job and in November, Mr. Krempl will address strategies for standing out on the job and becoming more promotable.

LinkedIn Is Your Best Social CRM Resource to Drive Revenue – Next Experts Connection for Business Explains How

Leave a comment

Social Media Expert Jim Durbin Provides Step-by-Step Approach to Show You How to Mine LinkedIn for New Sales Leads and How to Connect with Decision-Makers.

NOVATO, Calif. (April 10, 2013) — Connecting with your prospects before you even make a sales call is having a terrific impact on business, and LinkedIn is the first source of social selling for most sales, marketing, and business development professionals. LinkedIn provides a social CRM database that is being continually updated by users so the information is always current. In the next session of Experts Connection for Business, “LinkedIn for Sales: Driving New Revenue” (http://www.experts-connection.com/business.aspx), social media specialist Jim Durbin will show how to use LinkedIn to find new clients, understand their company, and engage with them in a way that turns connections into revenue. The webinar is scheduled for 4:00 to 5:30 ET (1:00 to 2:30 PT) on Tuesday, April 24 and is archived online for registrants to access after the presentation. The Experts Connection webinar series is sponsored by NETSHARE® (http://www.netshare.com).

Social media gives sales and marketing executives – anyone who is really connected -new ways to increase the top line. LinkedIn escalates social selling by providing a central forum where you can identify new company and new prospects, assess their needs, and build a meaningful dialogue that will allow you to present your solution to their problem. Using LinkedIn as a social CRM platform, you can quickly gather intelligence, uncovering hidden knowledge about your prospects and their business activities. LinkedIn can turn good salespeople into great salespeople.

In this 90-minute webinar, Durbin will show you how to:

– Use social CRM to track decision-makers and executives through their social connections;
– Use LinkedIn profiles to find direct phone numbers and contact information;
– Connect with prospects, including how to use simple messages that generate responses from connections;
– Identify revenue opportunities from former employees and competitors;
– Develop “before and after” strategies for the sales presentation; and
– Optimize search and profile techniques to boost your personal profile.

“LinkedIn now has 200 million members in 200 countries making it the biggest directory of professional contacts around. And all these contacts are self-selecting, offering up any number of details about themselves and their business for those who know how to mine for it,” said Katherine Simmons, CEO of NETSHARE and host of the Experts Connection webinar series. “When used properly, LinkedIn can be any sales professional’s most powerful tool, and Jim will give you a detailed approach to show you now to use LinkedIn to build your client database.”

The Experts Connection webinar series allows business professionals to connect with experts in a wide range of areas, gathering information about business-critical topics presented with an eye toward the practical, not just the theoretical. Experts Connections recruits the most knowledgeable specialists to address problems facing small companies, multi-national corporations, B2B, B2C; businesses of any size serving any market. The cost of the seminar is $100, and access is provided via web and telephone. A web archive also is available for registrants.
