Dependable Strengths workshop for Alumni & Community Members ... coming up! September 12th & 15th, 2014 careers.washington.edu/DSSforAlumni Are you seeking a job or career change? Are you underemployed, or simply interested in exploring how to enhance your current job? The Career Centers Dependable Strengths Workshop is an excellent resource for alumni and community members in any stage of career transition. In this process, you will identify your unique strengths/skills/talents that you can offer and learn how to leverage those strengths to explore a satisfying career. The 2-day Dependable Strengths Process is a nontraditional job search approach whereby participants identify what they enjoy, things they do well and events or experiences in which they take pride; and with the assistance from the group and a variety of exercises, identify their core strengths. What do past participants say about the Dependable Strengths Workshop? “I learned a new approach to career search and planning.” “The program provides you with the tools to market yourself effectively.” “I explored my strengths and talents from a different point of view – stepped out of myself and evaluated my strengths in a very honest way to help me find my life work…” “It completely shifted my focus from ‘how can I fit into that job’ to ‘how can I highlight my strengths and abilities which will lead to getting the right job for me’.” “I was amazed at the feedback from my group members. They really keyed in on who I am.” “I now have a concrete outline with goals on how to better conduct my job search.”
