March 31st & April 1st, 2006 on the Campus of the University of Minnesota
In partnership with the Carlson School of Management, University of Minnesota, seasonedPRO invites you to speak or career coach at the upcoming Experienced Alumni Recruitment & Career Conference. The conference provides seasoned professionals with a vast array of career development and career transition resources to help take immediate steps toward achieving a better work-life future. (Recently seasonedPRO produced a very successful career conference at UCLA. Speakers chosen for that conference are here.)
This conference presents a unique opportunity for you to reach a highly educated audience of University of Minnesota alumni, and other professionals and executives, and to market your services indirectly through a professional presentation on the topics suggested below. We will provide a table for you to sell your books, hand out company literature, provide web site marketing and support you in other ways.
As the Manager of the event, I am coordinating the program including the identification and selection of speakers for a number of breakout sessions. The topics that qualify for consideration at this event include:
1) Workshop Sessions (50-minutes, plus Q/A March 31 or April 1, 2006)
- Personal Branding as a Career Advancement Tool
- Strategic Career Management Planning
- Maintaining Marketability: How to be Job Search Ready
- Resume Development For Experienced Professionals

We are also selecting professional career coaches to provide individual career coaching sessions during the two days - a fantastic opportunity for you to gain new clients.
