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.
If anyone is aware of an upcoming meeting that you would like toshare with the group, please let me know and I will gladly include it with myweekly updates. Also, if any transition support group would like to receivethis list of networking events to share with your members, please let me knowand it would 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.
Thank you,
Tom Donohue
