Career Transitions

During this session, ACS Certified Career Consultant Lucinda Jackson will provide a 5-step process to help you focus on making the most of your career transition. Whether you are finishing school and heading off to your first job, thinking of changing jobs, recovering from a lay-off or re-organization, moving to a new career, or considering post-career options, you’ll be faced with how to cope and make the change as positive and fulfilling as possible.

The five steps will help you:

• Identify Your Opportunity: Create a personal vision statement and find your core values.
• Generate and Select Alternatives: Use your research and science tools to brainstorm ideas based on core value criteria.
• Develop Your Preferred Alternative: Map out the plan.
• Execute: Take action.
• Operate and Evaluate: Use metrics and a scorecard to see if you are on the right track or need to recycle.

The presentation will be followed by the opportunity for attendees to network in small groups led by ACS Career Consultants and receive personalized career advice.
