Do
You Have What it Takes to Work with a Portfolio Firm? Recruiter Mary
Kier Explains What You Need and How to Present Your Expertise to Get
Hired.
NOVATO,
Calif. (June 8, 2012) -- Following the market attention on the
recent Facebook IPO, there is a new spotlight on private equity
firms. Deal flow is on the rise and it’s a great time to take
advantage of market traction, if you can get your foot in the door.
In the next Experts Connection (http://www.experts-connection.com)
webinar entitled, “Spotlight on Private Equity: How Do You Get
Hired?,” Mary Kier, CEO of Cook Associates Executive Search, will
explain what it takes to get hired by a portfolio firm. The webinar
is scheduled for Wednesday, June 27, from 4:00 – 5:30 p.m. ET,
(1:00 – 2:30 p.m. PT), and is sponsored by NETSHARE®
(http://www.netshare.com).
Drawing
from more than 20 years recruiting executives for private equity
companies, Mary will provide an insider’s look at the world of
private equity, providing first-hand insight into what resonates with
portfolio firms. She will explain how they evaluate talent for their
portfolio companies, and how they use retained search recruiters,
sharing real life stories about candidates who succeeded, and those
who didn't and why.
During
this 90-minute session, Mary will explain what it takes to work with
a privately funded company and the qualifications you will need to be
considered. Topics of discussion will include:
-
Speaking the language of private equity;
-
Conducting a self-assessment analysis to determine if you are suited
for the world of private equity;
-
Sharpening your interview skills specifically for a portfolio firm;
-
Asking the right and appropriate questions; and
-
Understanding the difference between what got you “there” and
what you need to get you “here.”
“Private
equity activity is on the upswing, so it’s the perfect time to look
to a privately funded firm for your next job, assuming you have what
it takes,” said Katherine Simmons, CEO of NETSHARE and host of the
Experts Connection teleseminars. “Mary has been recruiting for
private equity portfolio companies for a long time, and she knows
what you need to be successful. This is the perfect session for
anyone considering a private equity company as his or her next career
move.”
