Ramsey JSWT Members:
Listed below are nextweek's upcoming networking events. All meetings are open to the public, plusyou are welcome and strongly encouraged to attend. Try attending at least oneor two meetings a week, what you learn there will definitely help shorten yourtime in transition. Also, many of these groups convene in the evening, so itwill not take time away from your daily job search activities.
Think of these meetingsas opportunities, sort of like going to school, to learn something that canreduce your time in transition by gaining knowledge of job search andinterviewing skills needed to excel and standout from your competition.
In traveling to thesemeetings, consider car pooling. Not only will it reduce the cost of drivingthere, but the friendly conversation will make the ride seem to go much faster.
If anyone is aware of anupcoming meeting that you would like to share with the group, please let meknow and I will gladly include it with my weekly updates.
Thankyou,
Tom Donohue
