Terminology Tells a Story
with: David Magy
Thursday Morning, December 4th
7:30 - 9:00 am
No Registration Necessary! Just come and connect with others!
Since COVID began (March 16, 2020), we have heard new terms (sometimes called ‘Greats’) that define the ongoing evolution of the job market. David Magy will tell us a story of the job market using terminology that has been created over the past five years. These terms will help us to understand today’s market and what we can do today and beyond to better prepare for the job market and our job search. Included in the presentation will be practical tips for career management that we can and should practice every day.
David Magy, over the past 30 years, has earned the reputation as “expert” in the field of retained search, corporate recruitment and workforce consulting. He has worked extensively with human resource staffing system design from both the corporate and consulting perspectives.
In 1996, David further used his knowledge to help establish Abeln, Magy, Underberg & Associates as a respected partner in recruiting key talent within a large array of business. David is a nationally recognized speaker and blogs on matters related to search, staffing and ethics.
David is very active in the community, working as a “friend of the board” within three non-profit organizations. David enjoys many hobbies and pursuits – he is known as a person who ‘collects experiences.’
...then stay after the presentation, at 9am for the Networking With Grace Meeting and our MICRO JOB FAIR and "FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS DURING JOB TRANSITION" Q&A at 10:45!
