RamseyJSWT 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 your timein transition. Also, many of these groups convene in the evening, so it willnot 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.
Intraveling to these meetings, 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.
Ifanyone is aware of an upcoming meeting not mentioned that you would like toshare with the group, please let me know and I will gladly include it with myweekly updates.
Thankyou,
Tom Donohue
