What if your next job found you?

For most job seekers, the search looks the same: scroll the boards, tailor the resume, submit the application, and wait. And wait. In today's overcrowded candidate pools, that approach is exhausting and increasingly ineffective.

In this energizing one-hour session, Jessica Segal, VP of Talent and founder of Fly Away Talent, shares a smarter way to search. Her last two roles came when hiring managers reached out to her on LinkedIn for newly created positions she helped shape, including the title and compensation package. The two before that came through direct referrals. She hasn't landed a job through a job posting in years, and she's going to show you how she did it.

Jessica knows firsthand how disorienting and demoralizing a job search can be. After an unexpected layoff in 2023, she used these same strategies to land her next role and along the way, helped more than 100 fellow job seekers do the same. She hasn't been able to turn it off since.
