COMBINED DINNER MTG – TUESDAY, October 2nd
Recruiter Night Out

Raffle To Be Contributed By Razzino Associates

On Tuesday evening, October 2nd, MIS Network Associates (MNA), IT-Networking, the ETP Network, TENG, The Breakfast Club of NJ, Monmouth Networking, and Careers In Transition (CIT) will host a combined Recruiter Night Out dinner meeting for members, alumni, friends, and guests at The Holiday Inn in Totowa, NJ. The Recruiter Night Out will include a dialogue with a panel of four recruiters from the venues listed below responding to pre-published questions and ad hoc inquiries from the dinner meeting attendees:


-         Retained Search:     Mark Cohen       -- Mark Cohen & Co Exec Search
-         Corporate:               Patricia Jones     -- UPS
-         Contingency:          Janelle Razzino -- Razzino Associates
-         Consulting:             Rick Kilcoyne   -- CMK Select

The panel will be moderated by Joe Gadino – SAP America

Unedited questions for the panel are included below. These questions are subject to editing until Friday, September 28th, when the final list will be published electronically to the confirmed attendees. Please return your comments on the questions to John Sampson at jcsspike@yahoo.com ASAP. The final questions will be available in hard copy at the registration desk the evening of the dinner meeting on October 2nd. Again, ad hoc questions will be accepted by the moderator during the discussion with the panelists and Joe Gadino may have a few questions for the panelists himself.

The schedule for the dinner meeting on October 2nd will be:

-         6:00 to 6:45 pm – Registration, "speed dating", and cash bar
-         6:45 to 7:15 pm – Personal Introductions
-         7:15 pm            -- Dinner
-         8:00 pm            -- Panel discussion moderated by Joe Gadino
-         9:30 pm (approx) Raffle – you must be there to win

The informal networking groups are so helpful in networking that we will do the "speed dating" again on the 2nd before we sit down for dinner and the general introductions. Briefly, these informal "dates" consist of up to 4 people and last for 5 to 10 minutes. At the end of the 10 minutes, the groups break up and new ones are formed with different participants. Suggested dialogues for your "speed dating" encounters will be provided at the registration desk in case you are at a loss for what to say during these conversations.

There will be an opportunity to circulate up to 50 copies of your resume, personal bio, leads, or other appropriate material in a handout for each participant from the dinner.

The cost will be $45 for everyone if forwarded by mail or other to John Sampson by COB Monday October 1st at 2 Blackfoot Cir, Wayne NJ 07470. Checks should be made out to John Sampson who can be reached by phone at 973-248-3251 or via email at jcsspike@yahoo.com. Reservations can also be made by contacting Lizanne Fiorentino at lizanne@ignitetheflame.net
but checks must be sent directly to John.

An initial list of attendees will be emailed to all the RSVPs, members of MNA, the ETP Network, TENG, The Breakfast Club of NJ, Monmouth Ntwkg, IT-Net, CIT and other interested parties over the weekend of September 29th. The RSVP list will facilitate networking at the Oct 2nd event and can be used to communicate with attendees in advance or after the dinner meeting. For those attendees who are working, current work affiliation, email address, three previous companies you've worked for/consulted at, professional job interest or position availability must be included in your RSVP.

For those attendees who are in transition, three target companies should be included in your RSVP as well as the type of position you seek.

A "final" numbered RSVP list of attendees will be available along with the pre-published questions and an ID badge at the registration desk on the 2nd. Your number on the final RSVP list should be part of your introduction: "I'm number x on the RSVP list …". All attendees should have their sharp, crisp, 30 second elevator speech at the ready. Too many "ahs, dees and doeses" will be cut off unceremoniously. Remember, you and your introduction will be between the rest of the attendees and dinner!

A final RSVP list of the actual attendees will be emailed to everyone who participated by Oct 8th.

We will accept a LIMITED number of walk-ins on the 2nd. Anyone who attends on the 2nd and whose check has not been received by COB on the October 1st will be charged $60 WITHOUT EXCEPTION. There will be NO refunds and no shows WILL be billed.

Again, bring 50 copies of your bio/resume, leads, or materials you wish to be included in the handout the evening of October 2nd.
Directions to the Holiday Inn at One Rt 46 Westbound in Totowa can be found at www.holiday-inn.com/totowanj. Traffic congestion on Rt 46 at rush hour is always substantial, so allow an extra half hour to get to the Holiday Inn.
Dues are due for MNA Members.

If you would like to help out at the meeting on the 2nd, volunteer to be a "Meeting Marshall". Call John Sampson at 973-248-3251 for details. We can use your help!!!
