About this event
You’ve got decades of experience under your belt. You’ve developed a valuable skill set, an expansive network of contacts, and a track record that speaks for itself. So why is finding a job, switching careers, or moving up the corporate ladder after 40 & 50+ proving harder than it should be?
Join SecondActWomen as we host the first Career Camp for businesswomen 40 & 50+ and offer focused insights, strategies, and expert-led workshops to help career seekers navigate gendered ageism in the workplace, market themselves to be discovered on LinkedIn, makeover their resume and adopt a career search strategy that opens doors.
Why is this Career Camp important you ask?
- Age is the one critical element missing from 92% of D&I strategies.
- 61% of workers 45 years+ have either experienced workplace ageism or witnessed it.
- 29.5% of the 5,546 new hires in FY 2020 were under the age of 30.
- Women can experience ageism earlier than men and tend to experience it more frequently than men.
At SecondActWomen's Career Camp, you’ll…
- Debunk myths around age to uncover your personal brand.
- Build a career search strategy to amplify your value.
- Get tips to better market yourself and be discovered on LinkedIn by recruiters.
- Connect with other likeminded businesswomen 40 & 50+.
- Walk away with a Career Camp workbook chock full of worksheets to help in your job search, such as: Personal Brand Statement Worksheet; Hard & Soft Skills Inventory Worksheet; 7-step Career Amplifying System; and Resume Makeover Tip Sheet
