Women@Work Membership

You’re not yet a member of the Women@Work Network? Now is the time, in a very tight job market, to take advantage of all the services that help women find new opportunities. Currently, you may be a Subscriber—which means that you receive on a complimentary basis our Daily Newslinks announcing new job opportunities, networking events and workshops. For just $95 a year—or $9.95 a month--you can become a Member of Women@Work and take advantage of so much more…

  • 1. ONE FREE RESUME CRITIQUE

    In this job market, it is extremely important to have your resume--a powerful document that sells you to employers--in the best shape possible. Beginning on November 18, 2009, new Annual Members receive a complimentary resume critique that quickly evaluates the key characteristics of your resume and points out areas for improvement.

  • 2. ELIGIBILITY FOR WOMEN@WORK JOB BOARD RESUME BANK.

    Women@Work has created the #1 Job Board focused solely on mid to senior level current and returning professional women. Posting your resume anonymously in the Resume Bank increases your exposure to employers nationwide. All resumes are screened in advance by our staff, and an Annual or Monthly membership is required to apply for inclusion. Employers can independently search the resume that you personally post in our Resume Bank - and we also save a copy of your resume in our internal database which is accessed by Women@Work recruiters only. NOTE: The monthly Women@Work membership ($9.95 per month) applies only to the Job Board Resume Bank.

  • 3. CAREER DIRECTION AND STRATEGY THROUGH FREE, INTERACTIVE WORKSHOPS

    Each month the Women@Work Network is bustling with activity as we hold workshops on a variety of career related topics. All of these workshops are either free or discounted for Women@Work Annual Members. You can attend a hands-on resume or networking clinic, learn how to brand and sell yourself like any other successful “product”, see how to grab employer attention through cover letters, get insights on how to respond to the interview questions you fear the most, and much more.

  • 4. 10% OFF ALL WOMEN@WORK PRODUCTS AND SERVICES

    Women@Work offers an array of products and services that emphasize skill identification, professional "packaging" and work-life balance. When you purchase an annual membership ($95), you receive a 10% discount on all Women@Work events, products and services—including individual Career Coaching Consultations with Women@Work Co-Founders Kathryn Sollmann and Eliza Shanley and the Work-Life Balance Bracelet.

  • 5. OPPORTUNITIES TO NETWORK DIRECTLY WITH EMPLOYERS

    Throughout the year Women@Work hosts Recruiting Days for specific employers and "Straight from the Source" mentoring days that bring Annual Members together with employer representatives who offer personal career guidance and share their personal thoughts, observations and opinions about sound job search strategies.

  • 6. CONNECT2WOMEN ONLINE NETWORKING

    Not everyone has time to attend networking events, and our new "Connect2Women" posting board makes it possible for you to network "virtually" any time of the day or night. In this members-only section of our web site, you can post a networking request or offer to help the other members in our network. Looking to return to work and interested in speaking to other former advertising professionals? Thinking about downsizing your partner track law career? Looking to make a 360 degree mid-life career change? Trying to find a way to "give back" by mentoring other women in your field? Any and all networking needs can be met by this innovative online resource.

  • 7. FOUR SKILL-BUILDING E-GUIDES

    As soon as you join Women@Work, you can download these four e-guides ($100 value) that inform key aspects of your job search:
    "No Time to Work?" An e-guide for returning professionals who say that they'd like to work, but they could never fit work into their very busy family commitments. A worksheet tracks volunteer time-and shows most "mega-volunteers" that they already have the equivalent of a part-time job! While you're tracking time, you're also tracking business skills to highlight on your resume. (Current professionals can pass this e-guide along to a friend who is contemplating work.)
    R.E.S.U.M.E 101, a resume writing e-guide that helps you Remember Every Skill and Underscore Major Experiences! You'll hone in on business skills you've developed in non-profit and for-profit settings and draw from a Resume Thesaurus that is filled with powerful business terms that pack your resume with power.
    "Make Your Net-Work", an e-guide to avoiding the job-hunter's "Bermuda Triangle"-sending resumes to strangers-and identifying your hidden network of valuable contacts who can lead you to important leads and real jobs.
    "Interview Revue", an e-guide to playing the leading role in the interview that is based on your true life and work story.

  • 8. A 10% PLACEMENT DISCOUNT FOR YOUR EMPLOYER

    As a member you can pass on a 10% placement discount to your employer-and give them access to a constantly growing network of what is now more than 7,000 current and returning professional mid to senior level women.
