Reminder - The Breakfast Club NJ - Saturday September 11th - 7:30 AM

Posted by: "Brian Mecca" Brian.Mecca@yahoo.com   bd_mecca

Fri Sep 10, 2010 7:51 am (PDT)



Reminder!

Make sure you mark your calendars and plan to attend our next Breakfast Club
meeting Saturday September 11th. Networking at 7:30 am, meeting starts
promptly at 8:00 am.

Location:

Days Hotel Conference Center

195 Rt. 18, #South

East Brunswick, NJ 08816

732-828-6900

This Month's Topic: RECRUITERS & HIRING EXECUTIVIES: How to sell them
successfully the first time.

For people in job transition, the HR department is not the main gatekeeper
limiting a candidate's ability to generate interviews and job offers. It's
not even lack of industry experience. Rather, it's the Executive
Recruiter's and the Hiring Executive's desire for basic information at the
beginning of the search process as well as quality "sales support" materials
during the interviewing process.

This program will discuss the two most common impediments preventing
candidates from getting interviews and meaningful job offers; one of which
is little known. Topics include: the basics of the hiring process, who is
your customer and what motivates them, how best to position yourself against
the competition, how to communicate your value, and the 6 best strategies
for closing the interview.

......................

Bring a pencil, pad and an open mind...you won't be disappointed!

About the Speaker: Lloyd L. Feinstein, president, Career Marketing
Consultants of New Providence, New Jersey; co-author of Career Changing: The
Worry-Free Guide, a book which has received wide acclaim including
syndication by The New York Times, excerpted by The Wall Street Journal and
Success Magazine, and selected as one of the top 10 career books by USA
TODAY. In the last 26 years, he has counseled and re-packaged over 200
executives from Chem-Pharma, FENG (Financial Executive Network Group), and

His bottom line, which resonates, is this:
Why network? Because the alternative is sheer luck.

Jason,
My sources tell me that the hiring freeze is still in place. Too bad as this
was a stellar place to work a few years back.
Only the best,
