Thinking about a new job in 2020?    This five part workshop will be geared to all job seekers regardless of the job target.  The focus of the workshops will help you understand and develop tools and techniques to present yourself positively to recruiters and hiring managers.  Job search is more than just writing a resume and posting it online.  
Week 1 will focus on the steps of an effective job search – self-reflection by conducting an inventory of knowledge, skills and abilities that make one qualified for a targeted role, identifying the target job or job family, and understanding and quantifying your worth in the job market.  
 Week 2 will be all about the communication tools needed in a search:  an exit statement, a positioning statement, SOAR stories, a resume, a LinkedIn profile and a marketing plan.   We will discuss the value of each in your own job search.  
Week 3 will focus on using the tools in networking and identifying and pursuing “hidden” job openings.   
Week 4 will cover the job search process:  applying to jobs posted online, interviewing and keeping job prospects alive. 
 In the final workshop we will talk about negotiating compensation and ensure that all questions are addressed.  
The facilitator for the workshops, Irene Sinteff, will draw on a long career in human resources as a recruiter and career coach.  She has extensive experience in manufacturing, distribution and warehousing, healthcare, technology and education. Irene has been a career coach for Lee Hecht Harrison, a leading career transition services provider. For 20 years.   Her clients have been seeking jobs at all levels of organizations across a variety of industries.  
During the 5 weeks, Irene will be available by phone, email or appointment to address your personal job search questions, concerns and progress.

Presents: Author/Teacher Jason Miller

  The Modern Magic and 
Witchcraft Revival*
October 28, 2019, at 6:30pm
Light refreshments served
*Program contains mature content, Ages 16 and Up.



New shows involving Witches, magic, and the supernatural get released in increasing numbers every year. The topic is so compelling to young people that the last bookstore I visited had a large section just for Paranormal Teen Romance.  Yet beyond these fictional books and shows there are real practitioners of magic and witchcraft all over the world, and interest seems to be growing. In 2016 Wicca was named the fastest growing religion in the United States, and that only represents a small fraction of people interested in Witchcraft, Ceremonial Magic, Afro-Carribbean practices, and more.
Jason Miller, focuses on magic, mindfulness, and sorcery, will give an overview of the unlikely revival of magic in the modern world, and answer any questions that you may have about it. 
 
 
Jason Miller has devoted the last 30 years to studying practical magic in its many forms. He is the author of the now classic Protection and Reversal Magick as well as The Sorcerer's Secrets, Sex Sorcery and Spirit, Elements of Spellcrafting and Financial Sorcery. He also runs the Strategic Sorcery Training Course, Take Back Your Mind Program, and The Sorcery of Hekate Training. He lives with his wife and children in the mountains of Vermont.
