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 with my weekly updates. Also, if any transition support group would like to receive this list of upcoming networking events, let me know and it would be my pleasure to add your group to the distribution list.
Thank you,
Tom Donohue

In a competitive job market, interviews are a very precious commodity. I hope we can all agree that critical impressions are formed in the first few seconds of a face-to-face interview. The way you look is a substantial part of the interviewer's impression based on how you are dressed, how you speak and how you sound. Is your appearance at interviews a positive, a negative, or a neutral attribute to your efforts to secure a job? How about a professional opinion? Linda will provide some insight into Dressing for the Successful Interview – attitude, attire, grooming, accessories, and more. If you're up for the challenge, come to the meeting dressed as you do for an interview. A few audience volunteers (both male and female) will be offered the opportunity to have their interview attire discussed and constructively critiqued by Linda, as well as the audience, based on the information shared during the evening.

Job candidates can prepare for interviews, but if they don't understand what's hiding behind the interviewer's questions or what they're being tested on, chances are that at times they'll miss their targets. The audience will learn about: 1) What's behind interviewers' subtle and often hidden agendas, 2) How to think like an interviewer, 3) What are typical interview questions and what their purpose is, and 4) What are good interview answers to common questions. This is a highly interactive presentation with the audience. Attendees will gain a significant amount of knowledge regarding how to answer well certain common interview questions. The meeting is at 2600 Mt. Ephraim Avenue, Camden, NJ 08104
