During thre e years Elizabeth Lions met with over 3\,000 hiring managers and intervi ewed hundreds of high tech candidates\, many of them with engineering or science skill sets. Her background is in psychology with a strong focus in Organizational Development. \;\n \;\nA major finding uncovered was that the unemployed all shared a common fear of being out of work f or a period of time. Some struggled with finding a new job\, or they did n�t know how to write their resume because they had been employed in the ir last job for many years. Some suffered with the difficulty of going t hrough the interview process and were uncomfortable selling themselves i n front of a manager. All expressed having low confidence from being out of work\, which compounded the ability to find the new job. \;\n \;\nDuring this presentation\, you will learn how to tell if your positi on is in jeopardy and will learn practical steps on how to find your nex t opportunity\, how to write a resume and how to get through the intervi ew process with confidence. \;\n \;\nSpeaker Bio: \;\n \;\nE lizabeth Lions studied psychology at the University of Maine.
