    Ask Devex: Getting rehired, perfecting an elevator pitch and more

    Who might it be a good idea to contact when you want to rejoin an organization you previously left? Devex’s director of global recruitment services answers this question and many more in this month’s installment of the “Ask Devex” webinar series.

    By Kelli Rogers // 25 February 2014
    From successfully displaying consulting assignments on a CV to acing technical tests, development professionals face a myriad of career challenges before even landing the job. Kate Warren, Devex director of global recruitment services, invited development professionals to submit their own pressing questions in this month’s installment of our “Ask Devex” webinar series. Having spent a decade of her career working in development recruitment, Warren knows that navigating a successful development career path can be daunting. Devex members put her knowledge to the test, inquiring about the chances of getting rehired after leaving an organization, how to frame a varied work history and how to face ageism when it comes to getting the job, to name just a few questions. “It’s a field that really does value experience,” Warren said of development when it comes to older professionals who want to continue getting assignments. Watch the webinar to find out when it’s important to craft a “highlights reel,” the recommended formula for an elevator pitch and who it might be a good idea to contact when you want to rejoin an organization you previously left.
