Get the Edge: Utilizing Soft Skills
2026-07-22 10:00 - 11:00 (America/New_York) | Webinar
Are you having a hard time promoting yourself with your hard skills alone? Perhaps you’re not thinking about the whole skillset that makes you a strong worker. Instead of “soft skills” this webinar makes you think of them as transferable skills, which are the skills you bring from one job to the next. They are universal.
Adaptability, collaboration, and leadership are examples of transferable skills, but there are many more. Attend this webinar to learn what are considered 9 strong transferable skills and how you can showcase them in your job search. Learn how you can address them in interviews. Ultimately learn how to make your job search stronger.

Mastering the Video Interview
2026-07-22 14:00 - 15:00 | Webinar
Video interviews have been around for a while, but they’ve grown in popularity and will probably still be used for years to come. This is why it’s important to put your best foot forward and get to the next phase of in-person interviews. This webinar will go over the logistics of video interviews, how to prepare for them, questions to expect, and questions you can ask.
For some job candidates, they can be tricky to master. Unlike the in-person interview, you’re not in the room with the interviewers where you can feel the energy. There are similarities, though. For example, you can see their facial expressions, body language, and hear their questions. But have you thought about how you present yourself? What about lighting, sound, and your background? Even how you dress and making proper eye contact matters. These and other tips will be covered in this webinar.

Answering the Tough Interview Questions
2026-07-23 14:00 - 15:00 | Webinar
The interview is tough enough having to make sure you make a great first impression when you walk in the door. Is my eye contact good? Is my handshake firm yet gentle? Am I smiling? These are all very important to accomplish in the interview, but what’s more important is that you can answer the tough interview questions. In this webinar, you will learn about the three types of questions—traditional, situational, and behavioral—and why interviewers ask them. You will also learn how they should be answered. Feel more prepared when you go to your next interviews.

Earn What You're Worth
2026-07-27 14:00 - 15:00 | MA
Negotiating salary and benefits is about earning what you’re worth. Often times job seekers think they need to accept the salary companies offer. Guess what, companies expect you to negotiate. However to negotiate you have to prove your worth. Why should the company pay you more salary and better benefits? It’s about selling yourself.
In this webinar, we’ll talk about pre-negotiation and the final stages of negotiating. You’ll be surprised to learn that companies can pay you more than they offer; sometimes, much more.

Writing a Winning Cover Letter
2026-07-28 14:00 - 15:00 | Webinar
The job seeker’s job is to express to a potential employer the value that they can bring to their organization. That value is typically expressed through the résumé. However, another document can add just the little extra that you may be looking for, and that is the cover letter.
In this webinar, we will discuss the cover letter and ways to customize it. In addition, we will touch on the approach letter which is a proactive job search document and the closing document, known as the thank you or follow-up letter.
