After a seven year career break, I am now a full time account manager with the Lake Forest Graduate School of Management (LFGSM). I attribute my successful relaunch directly to iRelaunch's Career Relaunch Forum. I had reached a standstill in my career search and registered for the Forum as a way to get a new perspective. One of the key ideas I took away from that day was that I really needed to focus on the culture of the workplace. Once I approached my search with that perspective, I was able to identify employers where I wanted to interview. The very top of that list was LFGSM, host sponsor of the Career Relaunch Forum. I was impressed with the school's executives as well as its innovative practices in attracting and retaining employees. I requested a 15 minute exploratory interview (a tip from the Forum) with the VP of Human Resources whom I met that day and it progressed from there. I cannot thank you enough!
