COMBINED
DINNER MEETING
Tuesday,
April 1, 2014
Managing
the First Impression
Raffle
Donated by Razzino Associates
On
Tuesday evening, April 1st, there will be a combined dinner meeting for current
members, alumni, and guests of IT-Networking, MIS Network Associates (MNA),
Monmouth Networking, The Breakfast Club NJ (TBCNJ), ETP Network, and Careers in
Transition (CIT) at the Holiday Inn, Totowa, NJ.
The
dinner meeting will include a presentation by Linda Trignano on Managing the
First Impression.
In a difficult job market, interviews are a very precious
commodity. I hope we can all agree that critical impressions are formed
in less than the first 30 seconds of the usual face-to-face interview. The way
you look will be a substantial part of the interviewer's impression based
on how you are dressed. Is your appearance at interviews a positive, a
negative, or a neutral attribute to your efforts to secure a job? How
about a professional opinion? Professional coach and career consultant
Linda Trignano will provide guidance to Dressing for the Successful Interview
-- attire, grooming, accessories, and more. If you're up for the challenge,
come to the meeting dressed as you do for an interview. Audience
volunteers (both male and female) will be offered the opportunity to have their
interview attire discussed and constructively critiqued by the Coach Linda as
well as the audience based on the information shared during the evening.
Linda Trignano's
consulting firm, Trignano Consulting, find her at: www.lindatrignano.com helps individuals and
business groups find their potential through change. Linda has spent over
22 years facilitating and working with teams and individuals. As a career
coach, she helps her clients identify their career goal and find their dream

Following
our usual meeting format, after you have registered and added your resume, etc.
to the handout piles, everyone will participate in a series of informal
networking groups i.e. "speed dating", before we sit down for dinner and the
general introductions. Briefly, these informal groups last for
approximately 10 minutes. At the end of the 10 minutes, the groups
disperse, and new ones are formed with different participants. Suggested
dialogues for the groupings will be provided at the registration desk.
There
will be an opportunity to circulate up to 40 copies of your resume, personal
bio, leads, or other appropriate material in a handout from the dinner.
The

An
RSVP list of attendees will be created and used to facilitate your networking
activity. Current or last work affiliation, email address, and membership
organization should be included in your RSVP. If you are in transition, please
include the names of three target companies and the kind of position(s) you are
seeking. If you are currently employed, you should provide the name of your
last three employers. The preliminary RSVP will be distributed to the
recipients of the initial mailing of this announcement and to all those on the
list the week end before the dinner meeting for editing and informational
purposes. A "final" numbered RSVP list will be available at the
registration desk on the 1st and can be used as part of your general
introduction …"I'm # x on the RSVP list". Your number will also appear on your
name badge which will be available at the registration desk on the 1st.
Since
there will be walk-ins on the 1st, the final RSVP list will be emailed to the
attendees as quickly as possible after April 4th.
We
will accept a LIMITED number of walk-ins on April 1st. Their cost will be
$60 without exception as well as for RSVP's whose checks have not been received
by COB on the April 1st. There will be NO refunds and no shows WILL
