FOR STUDENTS & NEW EMPLOYEES

"What's Really Important to Know to Thrive in Your First Job" 60 minutes

2. Mastering  the mundane - 10 little things you can do to make a good impression

"How to Be the Employee Every Boss Wants" 60 minutes

Description:  Your boss will expect you to fit into the company environment, be a good team player, and have a positive attitude, but he/she won't always emphasize how important these traits will be to your success. Knowing and demonstrating the behaviors employers really want, or the "unwritten rules" of the workplace, will help you build the type of reputation that will give you a competitive advantage.

Topics include:

1. What your supervisor will expect
2. What beliefs may hinder your success
3. How to build a great reputation

Topics Include:

1. First impressions – hand shake, eye contact, body language
2. Remembering names and teaching others yours
3. Answering "What do you want to do?" to demonstrate your character and competence

"How to Impress People Who Can Help You:  5 Secrets to Make Yourself Memorable"  90 minutes

Description: When you first look for a job, it can be overwhelming.  You've heard of networking, but wonder how you can make the best impression when you meet and talk with people.  How can you impress someone who might be able to help you find a job?  This seminar adds two topics to the one-hour seminar.

1. First impressions – hand shake, eye contact, body language
2. Remembering names and teaching others yours
3. Answering "What do you want to do?" to demonstrate your character and competence
4. Using "How are you?" and "What's new?" to your advantage

At this early stage of my career, this program was very helpful. Please know the tools learned today will be used for many years.  Tiff Jones, The Baltimore Sun

Marcia Hall's workshops on networking and communication skills enlightened my graduate students in library science. At this workshop, my students recognized that in order to be successful, there are other pertinent skills needed in addition to the academic preparation. Students commented that Marcia made them aware of things they might miss when presenting themselves to potential employers or the public. I would highly recommend her workshops!  Simmona E. Simmons-Hodo Adjunct for College of Information Sciences, University of Maryland, College Park & Services Development & Special Projects Librarian, UMBC

FOR EMPLOYERS

"The Millennials: How to Motivate and Retain Them" 60 minutes to 3 hours

Description:  Each generation has certain expectations about the workplace, and the "millennials" are no exception. While most employees realize they must be able to perform the occupational or technical skills of a job, they aren't always aware that their workplace behavior is what ultimately matters to bosses. Understanding what the millennials believe and expect can help employers make adjustments to both attract and retain these workers.

Topics include:

1. Expectations of the millennial generation versus expectations of their employers
2. Myths new employees believe
3. What employers and millennials both value
4. Approaches to motivate millennials
5. The role of reputation, and strategies to help employees learn and demonstrate desired behaviors
