When you meet new people and tell them about what you do, do they immediately say, "Wow… tell me more!"? If not, it probably means you are not pushing the right buttons for your prospective employers.

And if this is the case, it might be because you're using an old and tired elevator pitch - which is about as effective as choosing "basement" level, when you're really trying to get to the Penthouse!

So, how DO you answer the million dollar question - "What do you do?"

Is this question accompanied by a strong jolt of anxiety straight to your heart? Then, you're probably struggling to find the perfect words to explain what you do in a succinct - yet memorable – way when networking.

Leeza’s workshop is for you if you are ready to:

• Eliminate your fear and anxiety in your networking
• Learn how to attract what you want and put an end to feeling stuck because you’re not hearing anything back from employers
• Look at your job search from a higher vantage point
• Ditch all the old stuff you’ve heard about networking and do things differently

It's time to own what makes you great, find the perfect words to describe it, and channel those spicy, unique gems directly into your networking.

The workshop is free but registration is required. Call CobbWorks at 770-528-4300 or email information@cobbworks.org with your name, address, phone number and workshop selection.
