Our October webinar topic……

What if your job search isn’t just something to survive—but an adventure that could lead somewhere better than you expected?

Join Craig Foster, Executive Director of PurposeWorks, for How Thinking Like A Backpacker Will Help Your Job Search!, a practical and encouraging look at navigating one of life’s most challenging transitions.

Using the lessons of a backpacking adventure, Craig will show you why successful job seekers need a clear destination, the right “gear,” a solid plan, good guides, and people traveling alongside them. You’ll learn how to clarify your job target, communicate your unique value, identify target companies, reach the hidden job market, navigate AI-driven hiring, and get closer to the hiring manager.

Just as importantly, you’ll discover practical ways to handle rejection, maintain confidence and resilience, and keep moving when the trail gets difficult. And you’ll be challenged to think beyond simply finding a job toward finding work that fits who you are and where you’re going.

Teaser: Your job search is a journey—come discover whether you have the right destination, gear, plan, guides, and strategy to reach it.
