"One secret of success in life is for a person to be ready for his opportunity when it comes." – Benjamin Disraeli



"The Port is undergoing a number of changes that will open up opportunities within the organization. There will be internal and external competition for these opportunities, and we want our employees to be trained in career management skills, in addition to their individual job skills. We want them to be as prepared as possible for today’s fast-changing work environment."
Aileen Evans, Manager of Organizational Development, Port of Oakland

"Career Insiders' Networking Workshop was fantastic! Our clients came away impressed by how much they learned and surprised at how much fun they had. We would like to schedule this workshop on a regular basis."
Inna Pavlova, Employment Department Director, JVS

Market conditions make it more important than ever to have the right people in the right jobs. What if one of your company’s key managers left without warning? Could someone else in the organization instantly assume his/her responsibilities?

By undertaking succession planning at all levels, corporate leaders can develop the bench strength needed to ensure that there are qualified people to pick up the ball.

There are two basic components of succession planning -- assessment and development, and two targets of development – skills relevant to specific positions and the proficiencies required for effective career management.

Career Insiders’ expert consultants will teach your employees how to promote themselves. Your staff will become proficient in communicating their qualifications so that you are confident they have the competencies required as leaders and individual contributors.

Career Insiders provides services in a group setting with a variety of seminars and workshops, and we work one-on-one with individuals to meet your expectations. Following a consultation with you, we will develop a solution tailored to your needs.

Networking
It is common knowledge that over 90% of new jobs are attained through networking. However, it is less known that the same applies to obtaining a new position with one’s current employer. Your employees will learn how to become consummate networkers.

Interviewing
So it is with interviewing. Have you ever heard an employee complain that an outsider was hired instead of him/her? Often a less qualified candidate will win the job because of better interviewing skills. Your employees will learn the essentials of successful interviewing and will complete exercises to become comfortable with the interview process.

Dress for Success
It is a fact that we have only one chance to make a first impression, and that initial impression is reinforced over time. Your employees will learn how to create positive assumptions about their professional credibility and potential performance based upon their appearance.
