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 going to 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 asopportunities, sort of like going to school, to learn something that can reduceyour time in transition by gaining knowledge in job search and interviewingskills needed to excel and standout from your competition.
In traveling to these meetings,consider car pooling. Not only will it reduce the cost of driving there, butthe friendly conversation will make the ride seem to go much faster.
Next Saturday I will be distributing the list of FebruaryNetworking Events. If anyone is aware ofan upcoming meeting that you would like to share with the group, please let meknow and I will gladly include it. Also, if any transition support group wouldlike to receive this list to share with your members, please let me know and itwould be my pleasure to add your group to the distribution list.
In the event that snow or inclement weather is forecasted, pleasecheck with the meeting organizer if it will be canceled or postponed beforetraveling there.
