CRASH COURSE! 7 Sessions to help anyone in career transition!

CRASH COURSE FOR CAREER TRANSITION

“This course could literally change your life!”

The Crossroads CRASH COURSE is designed to provide help for those in career transition. The Crash Course has traditionally been in a classroom and hosted by a local church. More than 1,300 career explorers have been through the 90+ classes since 2010 and the Crash Course is updated regularly to reflect changing trends in job search and hiring.

When COVID made it impossible to meet in person, we changed the format in order to offer it online. While we miss the face-to-face interaction, we have found many benefits to the online class: more participation from outside Metro Atlanta; everyone avoids rush hour traffic; lower costs = lower registration fee!

This Month's Schedule:

The crash course includes an orientation session and 6 additional classes over 3 weeks. You should attend ALL sessions. Each session will have a LIVE presenter and host(s). Our planned dates and times are shown below. All times are Eastern Time Zone.

Who We Are:

North Atlanta Crossroads (www.atlantacrossroads.org), an Atlanta faith-based 501(c)(4) non-profit, offers our CRASH COURSE as an intense, online 7-session class to help you move forward quickly in your career search! Our team includes career ministry leaders and HR professionals (mostly Atlanta-based) experienced in career counseling and coaching.

Our partner Crossroads Career Services (www.crossroadscareer.org) developed and provides their workbook. Crossroads Career Services is a faith-based non-profit that helps people get the right job and maximize their career. Our CRASH COURSE is based upon their workbook You Are Created for Good Works! only we teach it on an intensive schedule and provide additional content during the course.

Online Course Using Zoom:

Our class will be conducted online using Zoom online meeting software, and there is no cost to use this software as we will be using our professional subscription.

Zoom works on desktop/laptop computers (Windows/Mac), Tablets (Windows, iPad or Android) or Phones (iOS, Android). We strongly recommend PCs or tablets as some presentations may be hard to see on a small screen and it is easier to access the workbook during the class. Sound, Mic and Cam are needed.

During the class, one or more "hosts" will help manage the session and answer "chat" questions, allowing the facilitator to focus on their presentation. Rather than interrupt, we encourage you to ask questions first in "chat." We ask all participants to display their camera view so we can share ideas and get to know each other. You should be in a quiet location so that background noise and movement does not distract.

For More Information:

Topics covered during this class will include:

• Building a positive attitude/recovering after job loss
• Discovering your gifts, passion and calling
• Writing resumes that get results
• Developing your own "brand"
• Methods for finding new opportunities
• Having engaging interviews
• Evaluating and negotiating offers
• Effectively using LinkedIn and Social Media
