Land Your Next L&D Role
Creating a Career That Works for You
Your Road Map to Career Success
There has never been a better time to invest in your own L&D career.
No matter where you are in your L&D career, expert career coach and L&D luminary Sarah Cannistra delivers tactical and industry-specific advice for how to conduct and succeed in your next job search.
There isn’t a “one size fits all” strategy to career success, so Cannistra walks you through four L&D career success codes—her ABCDs. They will help you achieve alignment and get clarity on your career goals and L&D niche; create your personal and professional brand; network intentionally and build your L&D community around your L&D niche; and identify your interests, skills, and belief systems, which are all key to building a development plan for achieving your career goals.
Cannistra dissects job applications, resume and cover letter writing, and interview processes as well as hard topics, such as rejection and job searches after layoffs. She also explores the mindset shifts and self-awareness needed to successfully land a stable and fulfilling position. Follow along with stories of how Cannistra has helped clients secure their dream roles. Take the next step on your own with more than 40 activities, reflection questions, and worksheets.
A cover-to-cover resource for landing your next role while choosing your own path, this is a book you will turn to again and again throughout your career.
