Ramsey JSWT Members:
Listed below are next week's upcoming Networking Events. All meetings are open to the public, plus you are welcome and strongly encouraged to attend. Try attending at least one or two meetings a week, what you learn there will definitely help shorten your time in transition. Also, many of these groups convene in the evening, so it will not take time away from your daily job search activities.
Think of these meetings as opportunities, sort of like going to school, to learn something that can reduce your time in transition by gaining knowledge in job search and interviewing skills needed to excel and standout from your competition.
In traveling to these meetings, consider 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.
If anyone is aware of an upcoming meeting that you would like to share with the group, please let me know and I will gladly include it in the weekly updates. Also, if any transition support group would like to receive this list of networking events, let me know and it will be my pleasure to add your group to the distribution list.
Thank you,
