When faced with a challenging job market, there are alternative choices you
can make that may offer different opportunities than a traditional career
path. Sometimes, you just need to "think outside of the box."

TCN's November 26th meeting will feature a presentation by Costa Rodis and
Felicia Halpert from Bergen IT. They will discuss the benefits and risks of
being an independently-owned local business, and some of the challenges and
successes they've encountered choosing this path rather than pursuing
positions in the corporate world.
