Recent Presentations

I had the privilege to be a recent guest speaker at the Career Explorations Group at St. Paul’s Episcopal Church in Fairfield, CT. I led a discussion on “Sustaining Yourself Through the Job Search Process,” offering 3 specific sets of strategies to manage a challenging transition more effectively.

I led two interactive presentations on interviewing for the Fairfield Library Jobs program, called "There's More to a Successful Interview Than You Think." Please visit www.fairfieldpubliclibrary.org to listen to the podcasts of my session and all of the other workshops in this valuable series.
