Up to 70% of jobs are not published publicly or offered to recruiters, and the remaining openings are all too often processed through application systems that strip out the things that make a candidate uniquely suited to the role. The value that employees provide organizations has rapidly evolved beyond the simple execution of tasks using known skills – we are, in truth, increasingly hired to solve problems that have never been solved before. The problem is, we are still being screened using methodologies for an antiquated paradigm. What’s more is, we are all questioning what we’re doing, and why we’re doing it, and finding that our work is disconnected from our core individual purpose.

Being able to share your unique value, to the right decision-maker, at the time when the ideal opportunity is open, is more challenging than ever. In this session, we’ll outline a framework and give you resources to articulate your personal purpose and share the most effective networking activities to ensure your name comes up when opportunities arise, so that you can escape the black hole of online applications and land the role that aligns with your personal purpose.
