The Forward Motion Differentiation Workshop
Success in your job search rests on two specific factors. 1) Finding jobs that are a good fit, and 2) Differentiating yourself both on your cover letter and résumé, as well as during the interview process.

These two factors are so critical that each client is strongly encouraged to attend the Forward Motion Differentiation Workshop in their job-seeking process. Participants learn how they manage infromation through a unique Style Delineator. They learn how to apply this information to their job search and use it to identify opportunities that are a good fit. This maximizes their success, once they start their new job.

Participants also learn how to apply their unique attributes to the Forward Motion Template that they will use to apply for positions through the online processes required by most businesses. Especially important, job-seekers learn about the filtering systems inside the application software that companies use to reduce the number of potential candidates and how to maximize their success in getting through those systems. Finally, participants learn how to differentiate themselves during the interview process and land job offers.

The Forward Motion Differentiation Workshop is offered in groups, in private, and for early career and mid-career participants.
