What’s the definition of an ideal position? It’s one that holds a certain combination of elements that has the potential to bring you long-term professional and personal satisfaction, as well as job retention. During career transition, it’s important to identify the traits, characteristics, and components that are included in your ideal job. This will enable you to recognize them for yourself during your job search, and to articulate them to others.

Facilitated by a TBJL Career Strategist.

WHAT IS LINKS: LINKS is an acronym for Leads, Information, Networking, Know-how, and Strategies. It is an educational and motivational program designed to help candidates prepare for the week ahead and to share conversation, contacts, and job-search information in a relaxed, friendly environment. For the unemployed professional, LINKS is a “place to go” to focus on the job search when others go to work on Monday Mornings. LINKS sessions are free and open to the public. Reservations are required.

Supported by the Vinik Family Foundation, Jeff and Penny Vinik, Trustees, and the SunTrust Foundation
