Directions to 40 Plus

Monday Morning Speaker: Jim Thomas

ABOUT THE PRESENTATION:

The Transition Road Map presentation was developed by Jim Thomas to provide an insightful resource primarily for people in transition. The message and the approach gives an interesting look into those key ‘Secret Sauce” Formula competencies that have a direct bearing on how successful your job search will be. It also provides other key factors that have a direct impact on how successful you will be in your job search and in life.

           This presentation was not developed to provide a typical Out-placement approach to job search. Rather, it is an “In”- Placement approach to assist in distinguishing you in transition for the very competitive and dynamic search environment that exists now and will for a long time.
