Searching from the Middle: Leveraging Best Practices to Make Your Move to the Senior-Level Roles

Moving from the middle to a senior-level role requires a transition from being the doer to strategic thought leader and manager. The presenters will provide mid-level administrators insights on effectively engaging with search firms to advance their careers by presenting your skills and experience. Working with executive search firms is a critical opportunity, but no clear path to gaining experience! The presenters will help participants navigate the executive search process from interest to application to interviews. 

Learning Outcomes 

1. Develop knowledge of the executive search industry, particularly in relation to senior-level searches (i.e., assistant vice president, associate vice president, avp/dean of students, etc.) 

2. Discuss the key elements of the executive search process (interest, application, interviews, offer) from the candidate's perspective 

3. Distinguish common myths versus truths in relation to the executive search process
