COMBINED DINNER MTG – TUESDAY, September 24th
Recruiter Night Out
Raffle: Donated by Razzino Associates
On Tuesday evening, September 24th,
MIS Network Associates (MNA), IT-Networking, the ETP Network, TENG, The Breakfast Club of NJ, Monmouth Networking, and Careers In
Transition (CIT) will host a combined
Recruiter Night Out dinner meeting for members, alumni, friends, and guests at The
Holiday Inn in Totowa, NJ. The Recruiter
Night Out will include a dialogue with a panel of four recruiters from the
venues listed below responding to pre-published questions and ad hoc inquiries
from the dinner meeting attendees:
- Contingency: Brad Schweon – Schweon
Associates
- Consulting: Rick Kilcoyne -- CM Select
- Conslt/Contingcy Leslie Martin -- Gotham
Technology Grp
- Conslt/Contingcy: Wanda Megaro -- G45 Consulting
The panel will be moderated by Mike
Palestina – Black River Group.
Mike is a Certified Executive
Coach, Leadership Consultant and Facilitator who partners with senior
executives, managers and leaders to inspire and enhance individual's attitudes,
behaviors and performance resulting in increased employee engagement and
retention. These shifts ultimately contribute to successfully reaching desired
goals and exceeding individual and organizational expectations.
Mike combines more than 28 years of practical Fortune
500 business leadership experience (in a variety of functional areas
including Marketing and Business Development, Client Implementation and
Services, Project Management and Operations) with more than 350 hours of
accredited coaching, emotional awareness and non-verbal communications training
and 10+ years of actual coaching experience at senior levels. These diverse
experiences provide Mike with a real-world appreciation of the challenges
senior leaders face throughout their careers and within their organizations.
Mike is passionate about helping
others modify attitudes and behaviors. His style is focused but informal, with
an emphasis on partnering with clients to establish a secure, trustworthy, and
relaxed environment in which to remove obstacles and achieve results. Having
extensive practical business experience he blends coaching practices with
mentoring, advising and counseling as well, thus providing his clients with a
richer interpersonal experience in which to modify attitudes, behaviors and
performance.
Unedited questions for the panel are
included below. These questions are subject to editing until Friday, September
20th, when the final list will be published electronically to the previous

himself.
The schedule for the dinner
meeting on September 24th will be:

- 7:15 pm - Dinner

The informal networking groups are
so helpful in networking that we will do the "speed dating" again on the 24th before we sit down for dinner and the general introductions. Briefly, these informal "dates" consist of up
to 4 people and last for 5 to 10 minutes. At the end of the 10 minutes, the groups break up and new ones are
formed with different participants. Suggested dialogues for your "speed dating"
encounters will be provided at the registration desk in case you are at a loss
for what to say during these conversations.
There will be an opportunity to
circulate up to 50 copies of your resume, personal bio, leads, or other
appropriate material in a handout for each participant from the dinner.
The cost will be $45 for everyone
if forwarded by mail or other to John Sampson by COB Monday, September 23rd at 2 Blackfoot Cir, Wayne NJ 07470. Checks should be made out to John Sampson who
can be reached by phone at 973-248-3251 or via email at jcsspike@yahoo.com. Reservations can also be made by contacting
Lizanne Fiorentino at lizanne@ignitetheflame.com but checks must be sent directly to John.
An initial list of attendees will
be emailed to all the RSVPs, members of MNA, the ETP Network, TENG, The Breakfast Club of NJ, Monmouth Ntwkg, IT-Net, CIT and other interested parties the weekend of September
21/22 for initial review and correction. The RSVP list will facilitate networking at the September 24th event and
can be used to communicate with attendees in advance or after the dinner
meeting. For those attendees who are working, current work affiliation, email
address, three previous companies you've worked for/consulted at, professional
job interest or position availability must be included in your RSVP.
For those attendees who are in
transition, three target companies should be included in your RSVP as well as
the type of position you seek.
A "final" numbered RSVP list of
attendees will be available along with the pre-published questions and an ID
badge at the registration desk on the 24th. Your number on the final RSVP list should be
part of your introduction: "I'm number x
on the RSVP list …". All attendees should have their sharp, crisp, 30 second
elevator speech at the ready. Too many
"ahs, dees and doeses" will be cut off unceremoniously. Remember, you and your
introduction will be between the rest of the attendees and dinner!
A final RSVP list of the actual
attendees will be emailed to everyone who participated by
Sept 30th.
We will accept a LIMITED number
of walk-ins on the 24th. Anyone who
attends on the 24th and whose check has not been received by COB on the 23rd will be charged $60 WITHOUT EXCEPTION. There will be NO refunds and no
