Career Management SIG

Christine seeks to expand the scope of the Career Management Special Interest Group beyond the traditional discussion of resumes and interview skills.  While there will always be a forum for those topics, other topics under consideration for future meetings are:

• Opportunities within the Training and Development Career
  We’re not just trainers, we’re instructional designers, human performance improvement consultant, eLearning experts, and more.  We’ll discuss the various specialities within the T&D field, and what one would need to do to gain experience and a foothold in the field.
• Strengths Finder
  What do you do best?  How can you do this every day? 
• Training Interviews
  While much focus is given to the resume and interview, we’d like to provide some best practices, and an opportunity for our members to practice giving those training presentations that have become an integral part of the second interview.
• Managing Your Career Up
  What can you do to transition to the next position up the career ladder?
• Building a Career Portfolio
  Your resume tells Best practices for creating an online portfolio that represents your work.

As you can see, we’re looking at topics that not only address the start of one’s T&D career, but also those things that continue to make one’s career a rewarding one.

This first meeting is our focus group / invitation meeting.  We'd like to hear from you!  Do these topics resonate with you?  Or would you like to learn some other aspects of Career Management?  Join us as Christine Kelly shares some Career Management Best Practices, gets us networking, and picks your brain a bit.
