Job Seeker Series Part 5 of 6: Lara Azcona - Run a Disciplined Search and Reach into Real Relationships (08/31/2026)

Mon, 31 Aug 2026 22:30:00 GMT

Run a Disciplined Search and Reach into Real Relationships

Featuring Lara Azcona

Job Seeker Learning Series Part 5 of 6

August 31, 2026 | 5:30 - 6:30 PM CT | Virtual attendance only

Free for Chapter Members, $10 for Guests

Session Description

Many professionals feel like they’re “always working on the search” but can’t point to real progress. This session combines Run a disciplined search and Reach into real relationships from the 6R Method. You’ll design a realistic weekly rhythm—time blocks, tools, and simple tracking—so you can answer, “What did I do this week to move forward?” with confidence. Then we’ll turn networking from something you avoid into structured conversations: who to contact, how to ask for time, what to say in informational interviews, and how to follow up without feeling pushy or salesy.

Session Description

By the final session, you may have more clarity and better materials—but you still need a concrete action plan and the confidence to step into what’s next. Here we deepen Reach into real relationships with a focused outreach blitz you can run over four weeks, then move into Rise into visibility and your new role. Lara will outline a practical mix of outreach, follow up, and visibility actions designed for busy, mid career professionals, including teachers and caregivers re entering the paid workforce. You’ll also learn how to talk about your pivot in interviews, handle gaps with confidence, and sketch a first 90 days plan so you’re ready not just to land a role, but to rise into it.
