Training series to help employees become better job candidates

Talent Acquisition in Human Resources is offering Moving Forward in Four as a four-part training series designed for current employees to strengthen their chances for internal opportunities at Purdue. 

Participants will progressively move through four virtual sessions that are designed to build upon one another, so attendees should be prepared to participate in all four sessions.

Create Your Path with Personal Brand, Social Media and Networking
April 28 (W). 10 a.m.-noon.
You work at Purdue so you already have a great start on your path to a strong career. Your next plan of action should be to make sure that your future Purdue path keeps you focused on doing something that you enjoy and excel at in order to make your career goals a reality. Attend this session to learn some of the basics of the hiring process at Purdue, to open up your mind to some self-discovery and personal brand, and maybe even explore a range of possibilities you may not have considered to make your Purdue path navigational.

What will get your resume and cover letter noticed?
