SAVE THE DATE
 
COMBINED DINNER MTG – TUESDAY, December 17th
 
Body Language
 
Raffle Provided by Razzino Associates
 
 
On Tuesday evening, December 17th, 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 and Mike Palestina will discuss body language in your campaign.
 
Mike Palestina is an Executive Coach and Managing Partner at People Intell Institute. 
 
People Intell Institute is the first Paul Ekman International licensed delivery center in the US offering training on emotional awareness and truth and deception detection.  At the heart of their programs is this core message: 

WHEN WE NEED TO UNDERSTAND OTHERS, IT IS IMPORTANT TO KNOW WHAT THEY ARE FEELING AND THINKING.
 
The schedule for the dinner meeting on December 17th 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 - Presentation by Mike Palestina
 
The informal networking groups are so helpful in networking that we will do the "speed dating" again on December 17th 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 30 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, December 16th 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 December 14/15 for initial review and correction.  The RSVP list will facilitate networking at the December 17th 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 17th.  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
Dec 21st. 
We will accept a LIMITED number of walk-ins on the 17th.  Anyone who attends on the 17th and whose check has not been received by COB on the 16th will be charged $60 WITHOUT  EXCEPTION. There will be NO refunds and no shows WILL be billed.
 
Again, bring 30 copies of your bio/resume, leads, or materials you wish to be included in the handout the evening of December 17th.
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 17th, 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.

Subject: Hey David! Lets discuss potential career opportunities.

Hi David,

My name is Jessica Lasorsa and I am a technical recruiter with Brooksource,
an IT Staffing Firm servicing the Greater New York City area. I am emailing
you today in regards to your resume. I came across it on CareerBuilder and
am very impressed with your experience as a Project Manager. Do you happen
to be on the job market? If so, I may have the perfect opportunity for you!

I am currently looking for a Project Manager for a healthcare/insurance
client of mine in Northern New Jersey. This position is a 3-month contract
to hire position with the end goal of bringing the contractor on full-time.

I am specifically looking for a Project Manager with experience managing
both technical and non-technical projects of various size and complexity. I
am looking for someone who comes from a healthcare and/or insurance
background who has the desire to stay in the industry. The contractor must
have knowledge of premiums, fees, reimbursements, etc. as it relates to
insurance and healthcare.

This contractor must have experience with both Agile AND Waterfall. The
client is currently between Waterfall and Agile methodologies right now. The
current documented process is in Waterfall, but they use agile when able and
are looking to move more towards agile. Experience with Agile tools used to
calculate velocity and burn downs is necessary. The candidate must be able
to provide examples of user stories.

I would love to discuss this position with you further. Please feel free to
give me a call at your earliest convenience. I can be reached at
201-499-7501. I hope to hear from you soon!

Best,

Jessica
