The Worcester Public Library is joining the Massachusetts Library Collaborative's 50+ Job Seekers Networking Group to support people fifty years or older who are looking for a new job, a new career direction, or a "second act" career. These biweekly meetings are scheduled on the 1st and 3rd Wednesdays of the month, from 9:30am to 11:30am, via Zoom with a repeat session offered in the evenings at 6pm to 8pm on the 2nd and 4th Wednesday. Statistics show that 85% of jobs are found through networking.
Join us in a professional forum for networking with peers in an environment conducive to developing new relationships and developing skills and strategies to help in your career transition. Each meeting features a new topic. Meetings include a presentation and hands-on workshop on topics relevant to career transition, with guest speakers, access to hiring managers, small group breakout rooms to network, and 1-on-1 coaching guidance. Participating on a regular basis will give job seekers the tools and strategies needed for a successful job search.
Each meeting is facilitated by Deborah Hope, MBA, PCIC, an experienced executive career coach. Deborah is a former Fortune 500 executive, investment banker and entrepreneur and transitioned to executive coaching over 12 years ago. She has coached with Harvard Business School Executive Education programs, the Mass. Conference for Women, and has been trained or certified in a variety of coaching models and assessment tools. Deborah has facilitated 50+ job seekers networking groups since 2016.
Attendance at each session is not necessary but highly recommended. Job seekers can join at anytime.
