Interviewing from Strengths
Virtual Meeting

The Breakfast Club NJ Presents: Interviewing from Strengths by Heather Kay (Virtual Meeting)

Saturday February 8th, at 9:30 AM
Please share this with other groups you may be in. Join us on Meetup.com at: https://www.meetup.com/The-Breakfast-Club-NJ/ to RSVP for the meeting.
Presentation: The Strengths-based philosophy focuses on what you naturally do well so that you can continue to perform at your best. Who doesn’t want to do their best work?

When you are In-Transition, it can be hard to showcase your strengths. For one, you may not be aware of them, or you may not be able to describe them in a way that fully demonstrates how you have utilized them. Typically, it is simply hard to find a way to work them into conversation.
This 30-45 minute Overview provides the background on why Strengths-based development is a key component to being successful and how you can begin to think about describing your Strengths during an interview.
The program covers these topics:

What drives performance
Strength’s statistics and philosophy
Definition of Strengths
Activities involving Strengths (exercise)
Examples of Themes
Example of how to answer interview questions with the HOW of your strengths.
The 3 Key Leading Take Aways are:
Understanding that we all have behaviors that we naturally do well
These behaviors differentiate us from others
Viewing ways to answer interview questions based on one’s strengths
If interested, coaching opportunities will be offered at a discounted rate for those in the session.
About the Speaker: Heather Kay has been an HR professional for over 20 years focusing on how to elevate others as they achieve success with others through learning & development and talent management programs. She has worked in numerous industries such as security, healthcare, insurance, and education.

More Information: Work Team meets every Monday morning. Networking starts from 9 to 9:30am and the meeting starts at 9:30 to 10:30 while virtual. Members hold each other accountable at weekly (virtual) meetings for conducting a job search in earnest. Historically, the team has enjoyed a very high rate of “landings” by those conducting an active and vigorous job search.

Based on the Lee-Hecht-Harrison model, it’s more of a project management team made up of people committed to helping each other in the job search. By attending regularly and staying focused on key tasks, meetings serve as an advisory panel that knows you and your search and can offer answers to the questions that come up in job hunting.

Help others to help you (especially for the first few meetings) by having a prepared “elevator pitch” to introduce yourself. Jobs open up because there’s a problem to solve or a need to fill.

Thursday, January 16, 2025, 10:00 am to 11:30 am EST, JVS Job-Seekers Virtual Workshop. How to Handle Ghosting During Your Job Search, GUEST SPEAKER Marty Gilbert The job search can be a very frustrating experience, especially when you believe you’re making progress with a terrific prospect, but then, suddenly, things go silent. No phone call, no email, nothing. You have been ghosted.

What should you do? Are you still in the running? Did you do something wrong? Did they lose interest in you? Are they negotiating with another candidate?

Herein lies the issue of being “ghosted” by a potential employer. Statistics indicate that 75% of job applicants say they were ghosted after a positive interview.

It is insensitive. It is unprofessional. It is disappointing. Many job searchers, including those who have completed multiple rounds of interviews, are experiencing this issue.

During this webinar, NSENG Founder/CEO Marty Gilbert will provide you with some insight into specific actions you can take to combat ghosting. Here are some of the subjects he will discuss.

Why ghosting happens
How to reduce your chance of being ghosted
What to do if you suspect you’ve been ghosted

There will be 20 minutes of open networking

with fellow job seekers after the presentation.

THIS PROGRAM IS FREE AND OPEN TO THE PUBLIC.

Presentation: Could your position be replaced by an “Intelligent Agent”?

You might not be familiar with Intelligent Agents yet, but they are set to become pivotal in the AI landscape. Intelligent agents represent the next phase in AI and GenAI capabilities, moving beyond question/generation responses to executing tasks traditionally performed by HUMANS. From a career standpoint, expect to engage with Intelligent Agents regularly – including job searches, employee onboarding/offboarding and business workflows.

Up to now, the focus in AI for job seekers has primarily been focused on ChatGPT for creating cover letters, resumes, and preparing for interviews. However, the reality is stark: even if ChatGPT helps you land an interview, without the necessary AI competencies (or mastery) you won’t secure the job.

As such, Intelligent Agents is the focus for George’s BRAND NEW 2025 presentation. In this presentation George will:

Illuminate foundational truths specific to Intelligent Agent adoption
Provide an overview of Intelligent Agents – and how they differ from ChatGPT
Examine several real-world Intelligent Agents – and potential implementations in Job centric Agents
Explore 2 “Employer Hiring Systems” – focused on driving automation throughout the hiring process
Provide actionable steps for how to “Keep Pace” with AI / Intelligent Agents going forward

About the Speaker: George Pace is an IT technology leader, focusing on how to extractbusiness value from the latest technologies. He focuses on how companies AND individuals can “Keep Pace” with Artificial Intelligence. George shares his AI/GenAI journey LIVE every Sunday morning at 9:00AM EST – and his large history of previous “disruptive videos” is on his YouTube Channel (www.youtube.com/keeppace) – so please visit AND subscribe!

George holds a bachelor’s degree in Computer Science from Seton Hall University and an MBA from the Rutgers Business School

Monday, 1/13, 10:30 a.m., Professional Services Group of Central New Jersey hosts, What to Do When You Can’t Do What You Used to Do. It may be that your former job function or industry has changed and requires professional skills you do not have. Or, you cannot keep up with the physical rigors of your old job. In these cases, you may not easily be able to find the job that you have previously done for so long. This program examines why you can’t do what you used to do, and discusses ways to leverage your professional expertise in order to move forward in your career. Our speaker David Schuchman is an information technology professional with a passion for technology implementation, as well as applications design, development and IT operations. He is also the executive chair and leader of the Professional Service Group of Mercer County, a networking community for professionals in career transition.

Thursday, January 16, 2025, 10:00 am to 11:30 am EST, JVS Job-Seekers Virtual Workshop. How to Handle Ghosting During Your Job Search, GUEST SPEAKER Marty Gilbert The job search can be a very frustrating experience, especially when you believe you’re making progress with a terrific prospect, but then, suddenly, things go silent. No phone call, no email, nothing. You have been ghosted.

What should you do? Are you still in the running? Did you do something wrong? Did they lose interest in you? Are they negotiating with another candidate?

Herein lies the issue of being “ghosted” by a potential employer. Statistics indicate that 75% of job applicants say they were ghosted after a positive interview.

It is insensitive. It is unprofessional. It is disappointing. Many job searchers, including those who have completed multiple rounds of interviews, are experiencing this issue.

During this webinar, NSENG Founder/CEO Marty Gilbert will provide you with some insight into specific actions you can take to combat ghosting. Here are some of the subjects he will discuss.

Why ghosting happens
How to reduce your chance of being ghosted
What to do if you suspect you’ve been ghosted

There will be 20 minutes of open networking

with fellow job seekers after the presentation.

THIS PROGRAM IS FREE AND OPEN TO THE PUBLIC.

PLEASE NOTE: THIS IS A VIRTUAL EVENT.

ADVANCED REGISTRATION IS REQUIRED.
