Ramsey JSWT Members:
Listed below are the upcoming September 2012 Networking Events. All meetings are open to the public, plus you are welcome and strongly encouraged to attend.
Many of the organizations listed below offer networking meetings that convene monthly, semi-monthly, or weekly. Try to attend at least one or two meetings a week. Many of these groups meet in the evening, so it will not take time away from your daily job search activities. Plus, they have interesting speakers who offer valuable tips on: 1) Branding, 2) Resume preparation, 3) Effective job search techniques, 4) Interviewing, 5) Post Interview Follow-up, 6) Time Management, 7) LinkedIn, and various other helpful job search related topics.
Also, in order to maximize your network, try to attend meetings in different geographical areas, but especially in towns where you are targeting companies that you would like to work for. Not only will you learn valuable job search skills, but greatly expand your circle of friends. Who knows, the person you meet at one of these networking events may be able to introduce you to a hiring manager at one of your target companies.
For a list of networking groups in your target areas, check out Alex Freund's "The Landing Expert List." This outstanding compilation of both Small Job Search Work Teams and Large Networking Groups contains 67 pages of information, listing hundreds of transition support organizations in the surrounding five states. Make it a point to join a few groups in your area; what you learn at these meetings will definitely help shorten your time in transition.
If anyone is aware of an upcoming meeting not mentioned, please let me know and I will add it to the list.
Thank you,
Tom Donohue
