About Our Meetings

For over 30 years, like-minded executives have gathered at our local meetings to share job search and business development tips, contacts, and resources.

This month, join George Grachen of Executive Career Partners for a candid look at the “liabilities” job seekers often carry into a search, such as unemployment gaps, age concerns, over- or under-specialization, long tenure at one company, military transition, and more and how each can be reframed as a competitive advantage. Drawing on ECP’s 40+ years of combined executive strategy experience, this session moves beyond generic resume tips into the real positioning and targeting decisions that determine whether a liability sinks a candidacy or becomes its strongest selling point.

Takeaways attendees can expect:

1. How to identify which of the common “job search liabilities” (unemployment, age, over-specialization, long tenure, lack of a degree, and others) may be quietly working against you
2. Practical reframing techniques to turn a perceived weakness into a differentiator in resumes, interviews, and LinkedIn messaging
3. How positioning and targeting, not just wording — determine whether a background reads as an asset or a red flag to a given employer
4. A clearer sense of which types of companies (by size, industry, or culture) are the best fit for their specific background
