Subject: [SMCNG] April 2013 Networking Events
Ramsey
JSWT Members:
Listed
below are the upcoming April 2013 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) Resume preparation, 2) Effective job search
techniques, 3) Interviewing, 4) Post Interview Follow-up, 5) LinkedIn, 6)
Branding, 7) Time Management, and various other helpful job search related
topics.
Think of these meetings as opportunities, sort of like going to
school, to learn something that can reduce your time in transition by learning job
search and interviewing skills needed to excel and standout from your
competition.
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.
In
traveling to these meetings, think about car pooling. Not only will it reduce the cost of driving
there, but the friendly conversation will make the ride seem to go much faster.
For
a list of networking groups in your target areas, check out Alex Freund's The Landing Expert Listat www.landingexpert.
outstanding compilation of both Small Job Search Work Teams and Large
Networking Groups contains 76 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 that you would like to
share with the group, please let me know and I will gladly include it with my
weekly updates.
Thank
you,
Tom Donohue
