[itroundtable] FINAL REMINDER: DINNER MTG - ABBY KOHUT - LINKEDIN ROMANCE - TUES NOV 5th

 

COMBINED DINNER MTG – TUESDAY, November 5th
A Recruiter and LinkedIn -- A 21st Century Romance
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 2nd and 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.
 
Again, bring 50 copies of your bio/resume, leads, or materials you wish to be included in the handout the evening of November 5th.
Directions to the Holiday Inn at One Rt 46 Westbound in Totowa can be found at www.holiday-inn.com/totowanj.
Dues are due for MNA Members.
 
If you would like to help out at the meeting on the 5th, volunteer to be a "Meeting Marshall".  Call John Sampson at 973-248-3251 for details.  We can use your help!!!
 
Please join us for what always is a well attended evening of lively discussion, great networking opportunities, and a chance to just catch up.  Remember this is NOT just an IT event. Anyone in transition or not should be interested in a Recruiter's views on the use of LinkedIn.  Abby will present these views on Nov 5th.

The Breakfast Club NJ Presents:  Mike Palestina - "When We Need to Understand
Others It Is Important To Know What They Are Feeling and Thinking."
Saturday November 9, 2013 at 8:00 am
Please share with other groups you may be in.
The Presentation - "When We Need to Understand Others It Is
Important To Know What They Are Feeling and Thinking"
A recent Harvard University
study on career success concluded that emotional skills mattered twice as much
as IQ and technical skills.  Emotional
awareness of ourselves and others is critical to overall organizational
effectiveness including recruiting (81% of job candidates lie about themselves
in job interviews), employee engagement (70% of American workers are
disengaged), and retention of top performers (48% cite lack of trust as reason
for leaving) to name just a few.  Come
learn the science and myths of non-verbal communications and how your lack of
awareness might be negatively impacting your performance in interviews.
About the speaker:  Mike is an International Coach Federation
Certified Executive Coach & Leadership Consultant who partners with senior
executives, managers and leaders to inspire and enhance individual's attitudes,
behaviors and performance.
Mike combines more than 28
years of practical Fortune 500 business leadership experience with more than
250 hours of accredited coaching training and 8+ years of actual coaching
experience at senior levels.
Mike's 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.

 To all the Friends of the GenYNetworking Group - Thank you again for your continued support!

Please pass this invite to all younger adults who are in job search or who are seeking a unique networking opportunity.

Regards,  Joe f

**************************





The next GenY Networking Group session will be held Wednesday, November 6th, 7 PM, Library of the Chathams (see flyer attached).
 
We are pleased to welcome to or meeting – for the first time – Meg Dennison.
Meg Dennisonplayfully coaches 20-somethings to explore meaningful work, turn down anxious white noise they want in work, life and love.  Check out a favorite Ted Talk for 20-somethings- http://www.ted.com/talks.  She also coaches women who are ready to reinvent themselves in their personal lives and/or small businesses. She speaks to groups about emotional intelligence, playfully demonstrating the link between feelings and everything, including business performance. Together, she and her husband Tim Peek coach executive couples in revitalizing their relationship, which often comes from more fun and less talk. Visit Meg at http://www.brownbagcoaching.com/ or click to schedule a free-30 minute Discovery Session.  Email Meg at meg@brownbagcoaching.comto connect in person or via Skype.   Meg lives in South Orange with her family.  She'll soon be celebrating her children's' flight to adulthood and an empty nest.
Did you know that FEAR is the biggest roadblock to innovation, engagement and growth? And that fear keeps us in the Drama Triangle, playing some role of victim, villain or hero?
During this session, Meg will lead us to:
·         Explore the elements of the Drama Triangleand learn how staying there keeps us stuck and prevents us from fully accessing our creative power and making clear and informed decisions
·         Review the Big Three of the core emotions: Anger, Sadness and Fear. We'll learn what those emotions actually feel like when we experience them
·         Find out why learning your feeling "hits" and labeling them helps you stay present in interviews and on the job
·         Discover specific tools -- including apps and the power of appreciation -- to settle your mind, reduce worrying thoughts, and change your perception of the problem
·         Learn why the Harvard Business Reviewis paying attention to Emotional Attention in the workplace
So come out and join us – please plan to attend and spread the word.  I am confidentthat Meg will not disappoint, and that you will enjoy this evening.
 
Meeting Agenda –
 
- Introductions - hone your 'elevator pitch'; master this basic element of job search, networking, interviewing
- The Drama Triangle – Meg Dennison
 
*** 2013 Calendar - Future meeting dates – Nov 20, Dec 4 & 18 ***
 
If you have attended this group in the past and found the evening to be both rewarding and informative please spread the word, and invite a friend.
Finally for all cc'd on this message - if you know a twenty-something (or early thirty-something) who could benefit from a forum dedicated to the specific dynamic of Generation Y please forward this email.  For more information see the group's Facebook - GenY Networking Group, or contact me.
 
Regards, joe f
