OUR UPCOMING GUEST SPEAKER AND TOPIC:

### How Thinking Like A Backpacker Will Help Your Job Search!

with: Craig Foster

What if your job search isn’t just something to survive—but an adventure that could lead somewhere better than you expected?
Join Craig Foster, Executive Director of PurposeWorks, for How Thinking Like A Backpacker Will Help Your Job Search!, a practical and encouraging look at navigating one of life’s most challenging transitions.
Using the lessons of a backpacking adventure, Craig will show you why successful job seekers need a clear destination, the right “gear,” a solid plan, good guides, and people traveling alongside them. You’ll learn how to clarify your job target, communicate your unique value, identify target companies, reach the hidden job market, navigate AI-driven hiring, and get closer to the hiring manager.
Just as importantly, you’ll discover practical ways to handle rejection, maintain confidence and resilience, and keep moving when the trail gets difficult. And you’ll be challenged to think beyond simply finding a job toward finding work that fits who you are and where you’re going.
Teaser: Your job search is a journey—come discover whether you have the right destination, gear, plan, guides, and strategy to reach it.
Craig Foster and his wife founded PurposeWorks in 2009, driven by a deep passion to help people discover their purpose in life and work including empowering job seekers to find better jobs faster. He has helped more than 14,000 job seekers find jobs, Jesus and joy. Prior to PurposeWorks, Craig had a career in corporate financial planning and analysis and program management, including 11 years with Dell.
