If you have been laid off, fear being laid off, or are getting ready to make a shift – sign up for “The Search.”

In this practical webinar with John Barth, we’ll talk about how more experienced news professionals can prepare for a shift or begin a post-layoff job search.

People at this stage know what they are good at and need to be discriminating about jobs, titles, and roles. Plus, you are likely at a point where you know what you want to do and what you are good at doing.

Sometimes the next step is purely practical, and sometimes it is the perfect time to really hone what it means to build your career further.

Tips, questions to ask yourself, and how to effectively network…we’ll cover it all.

We’ll leave plenty of time for your questions.

A generous spirit and nurturing environment

A lot of practical information grounded in John's personal experience from his long and varied radio/journalism career. I left the webinar feeling invigorated and inspired to begin my job search with purpose, intention, and awareness.

How practical this session was and the fact that it included both emotional and strategic action steps
