The informal networking groups are so helpful in networking that
we will do the "speed dating" again on May 13thbefore 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 40 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, May 12th 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 and AWC, the ETP Network, TENG, The Breakfast Club of NJ,
Monmouth Ntwkg, IT-Net, CIT and other interested parties the weekend of May
10/11 for initial review and correction. The RSVP list will facilitate
networking at the May 13th 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 13th. 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, 15 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
May 20th.
