You’re confident you can knock it out of the park in a certain role, but your resume doesn’t include the listed requirements. When you’re seeking to pivot from one industry or career to another, the roadblocks are seemingly endless. In this workshop Kay & Black Talent Management’s Hillary Black and Kathryn Freund shared a recruiter’s perspective on how to navigate a successful career transition.

With over 25 years of experience in advertising, they help candidates and clients at the crossroads of transitions and opportunities every day. Over the course of thousands of candidate placements and career transitions made, they know a thing or two about how to reinvent yourself, and how to always continue to highlight your strengths and grow your skills.

Hillary and Kathryn have also both gone through several of their own career evolutions, from front desk admin to CEO and graphic designer to a career coach. They shared personal stories and experiences with career pivots and transitions, provided tips and tricks they’ve picked up along the way, and answered audience questions.

Does the term “digital networking” bring you anxiety? Do you feel icky reaching out to contacts new and old during this time? Not sure where to start or what to say?

As recruiters and coaches, for over 25 years Kay & Black has been at the crossroads of real, human connections that live in an increasingly digital space. Now, the digital world is virtually our only available platform for building meaningful relationships. Many of our clients and candidates have been asking us: how can we still make meaningful connections when in-person meetings may not be a viable option, and feel confident while doing it?

With LinkedIn, Slack and messaging platforms always at our fingertips, some days it can feel like communication overload and many feel “digital networking” can be impersonal or disingenuous — but it doesn’t have to be this way. That’s why we want to transform “digital networking” to “building relationships online.”

We will share how you can use technology as a tool to establish authentic connections and ultimately build strong relationships that can help you engage that new client or up-level your career. One single connection can open a thousand doors!

Some things we will cover:

• Getting Clear: Defining your goal & why for building relationships
• Mindset: Feeling confident while reconnecting with contacts or engaging new ones
• Resources: Functional tools and tips to stay organized and grounded
• Outreach: Guidelines to make cold outreach feel warm, light, genuine (and anxiety-free!)

Camilla will be joined by recruiters Hillary Black and Melody Benjamin to talk about what recruiters expect when reviewing portfolios for a job interview.
