Ages & Stages:
a Millennial Career Roadmap
According to CareerXroads' labor market expert, Gerry Crispin, only 12% of jobs are filled through job boards, such as Indeed and LinkedIn. It's
less so for CEO and board-level roles. Closing an offer at this level requires time, patience, and advanced networking strategies.
My guest this week shares networking strategies she used to target and then close an offer in an organization that was on her targeted list in episode 57 of the Get Hired Up! podcast,
Brenna, a Millennial professional, used her university thesis project to open a door to her targeted organization post-graduation. We discuss
relationship building, business development, sales, conflict management, and advanced networking strategies amongst other topics, surrounding career planning.
Brenna Farmer is an environmental professional in the water resources industry with experience in both operations and compliance. Previously, Brenna served as a business development and sales professional for a water
resources organization, where she collaborated with industrial, municipal, and corporate clients.
Brenna’s message will resonate with new professionals -- but senior-level professionals may appreciate the golden thread of planning and advanced networking strategies from the podcast.
If you have a child in college, please consider sharing this episode with them. Brenna is my daughter and she will be with me in New York City this week for the Women of Leadership Summit (see below).
I hope
you enjoy the show!
