12:00-1:15PM ET

Description

After the interview, continued follow-up and discussions are vital to success.  The concluding session in this series will share insight into best practices in continuing conversations post-interview and negotiating during the offer phase.

Series Description

Providing insight and guidance into employment searches and career planning, particularly within the ongoing shifts in our arts community,  AAMC is offering current members the opportunity to hear from three well-respected search firms.  Adjusting to changing interview processes, presenting oneself through online profiles and updated resumes, prioritizing inclusion, equity and access in the arts, and understanding the needs of hiring organizations is critical regardless of job search level.  The three sessions will investigate Updating Profiles, Interviewing, and Post-Interviewing with representatives from Koya Partners, Russell Reynolds, and Arts Consulting Group respectively.  Providing the unique perspective from each firm, each individual session will target specific stages of a job search, while also including overarching insight into the process.

These webinars will not be recorded or available after the live session.

This series is open current AAMC members.
