Ramsey JSWT Members:
Listed below are next week'supcoming Networking Events. All meetings are open to the public, plus you arewelcome and strongly encouraged to attend. Try attending at least one or twomeetings a week, what you learn there will definitely help shorten your time intransition. Also, many of these groups convene in the evening, so it will nottake time away from your daily job search activities.
Think of these meetings as opportunities, sort of like going toschool, to learn something that can reduce your time in transition by gainingknowledge in job search and interviewing skills needed to excel and standoutfrom your competition.
In traveling to these meetings, consider car pooling. Not onlywill it reduce the cost of driving there, but the friendly conversation willmake the ride seem to go much faster.
If anyone is aware of an upcomingmeeting that you would like to share with the group, please let me know and Iwill gladly add it to the list. Also, if any transition support group wouldlike to receive this list, let me know and it will be my pleasure to add yourgroup to the distribution list.
