Workshop in Cambridge, MA: Seven Steps to Success: Changing Careers When You Have a Disability
Americans now change careers three to four times in a lifetime. The steps to a successful career change are basically the same for all job hunters with some interesting variations for those with psychiatric and/or physical disabilities. This workshop will cover the seven steps necessary for a successful career change. The steps include:
- Learning how to self-assess your skills;
- Targeting industries and companies;
- Preparing to market yourself;
- Networking;
- Improving interviewing skills; and
- Learning how to negotiate salary levels.
For people with disabilities there are additional issues related to disclosure, accommodation, work/health balance, and medical benefits. Participants will leave with an overview of the career change process and a step-by-step plan to move forward to their next career.
Although there is no fee to attend this workshop, registration is required. Space is limited.
