COMBINED DINNER MTG – TUESDAY, November 5th

Abby Kohut
Raffle: Donated by Razzino Associates
On Tuesday evening, November 5th, 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
dinner meeting for members, alumni, friends, and guests at The Holiday Inn in Totowa,
NJ. Our
speaker will be Abby Kohut who will speak on the use she makes of LinkedIn as a
recruiter. The presentation will be the view from the other side of the table. Abby's
presentation will be an update of her previous comments on her use of LinkedIn
by a recruiter.
Otherwise known to job seekers
as "Absolutely Abby", a leader in corporate recruiting for the past 16
years, Abby has held positions such as Senior Director of Recruiting &
Career Development for Kaplan, Inc., Employment Director at Sabert Corporation,
and Manager of Global Recruiting for Alpharma, Inc.
She is currently the President of Staffing Symphony, LLC, a staffing consulting
company, and over the past 6 years has had clients in the healthcare,
pharmaceutical, non-profit, legal, and publishing industries. A leader in
her field, and a well-known speaker on campaigning to get connected, Abby can
help you find the position you are striving for. She has facilitated
employment for attendees at over 200 events like this in the recent past, and
has set a personal goal to help one million job seekers.
The schedule for the dinner
meeting on November 5th will be:
- 6:00 to 6:45 pm – Registration, "speed dating", and cash bar
- 6:45 to 7:15 pm - Introductions
- 7:15 pm - Dinner
- 8:00 pm – Abby Kohut's Presentation on the use of
LinkedIn
- 9:30 Approx – Raffle – You Must Be There To Win
The informal networking groups are
so helpful in networking that we will do the "speed dating" again on the 5th
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, November 4th 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 November
2ndand 3rd for initial review and correction. The RSVP list will facilitate networking at
the November 5th meeting 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 5th. 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 November 10th.
We will accept a LIMITED number
of walk-ins on the 5th. Anyone who
attends on the 5th and whose check has not been received by COB on the 4th will be charged $60 WITHOUT EXCEPTION. There will be NO refunds and no
shows WILL be billed.

evening of November 5th.
