Finding a “Fit,” Not Just a Job with Theresa Hummel-Krallinger

Whether you're actively looking for new work, or preparing yourself for a future job change, it's important to know that people are increasingly being asked to illustrate their transferable skills and how they fit into the corporate culture of prospective employers. By understanding your own preferences, and comparing them to the needs of the employer, you are more likely to find a “fit.” This understanding will also help you with your current job, if you are actively employed, by enabling to you assess your fit with the culture of your team, department and organization.

So how do you assess your own style?  Or the style of the employer? 

Fortunately, you don’t need an advanced degree in organizational psychology to figure this out.  There are clues to look for and questions you can ask that will help you determine that information. Attend this program to learn how!

By attending this session, you will learn:

  • How to identify your primary behavior style
  • How to determine the culture of an organization (not just what’s on their webpage!)
  • Factors that determine the primary organizational style (and whether or not you are a fit)
