Subject: April 2014 Networking Events
Ramsey JSWT Members:
Listed below are the upcoming April 2014 Networking
Events. All meetings are open to the public, plus you are welcome and strongly
encouraged to attend.
Many of the organizations listed below offer networking
meetings that convene monthly, semi-monthly, or weekly. Try to attend at least
one or two meetings a week. Many of these groups convene in the evening, so it
will not take time away from your daily job search activities. Plus, they have
interesting speakers who offer valuable tips on: 1) Resume preparation, 2)
Effective job search techniques, 3) Interviewing, 4) Post Interview Follow-up, 5)
LinkedIn, 6) Branding, 7) Time Management, and various other helpful job search
related topics.
Think of these meetings as opportunities, sort of like
going to school, to learn something that can reduce your time in transition by gaining
knowledge in job search and interviewing skills needed to excel and standout
from your competition.
Also, in order to maximize your network, try to attend
meetings in different geographical areas, but especially in towns where you are
targeting companies that you would like to work for. Not only will you learn
valuable job search skills, but greatly expand your circle of friends. Who
knows, the person you meet at one of these networking events may be able to
introduce you to a hiring manager at one of your target companies.
In traveling to these events, consider car pooling. Not only will it reduce the cost of driving
there, but the friendly conversation will make the ride seem to go much faster.
For a list of networking groups in your target areas,
check out Alex Freund's The Landing Expert Listat www.landingexpert.com. This outstanding
compilation of both Small Job Search Work Teams and Large Networking Groups
contains 80 pages of information, listing hundreds of transition support
organizations in the surrounding five states. Make it a point to join a few
groups in your area; what you learn at these meetings will definitely help
shorten your time in transition.
If anyone is aware of an upcoming meeting that you would
like to share with the group, please let me know and I will gladly include it
with my weekly updates. Also, if any
transition support group would like to receive this list of upcoming networking
events to share with your members, please let me know and it would be my
pleasure to add your group to the distribution list.
In the event of snow or inclement weather, please check with the
meeting organizer if the presentation will be canceled or postponed before
traveling there. Your safety is
important! Please rely on your best judgment before venturing out on slippery
roads.
Thank you,
Tom Donohue
