Ramsey JSWT Members:
Listed below are next week's upcoming networking events. Allmeetings are open to the public, plus you are welcome and strongly encouragedto attend. Try going to at least one or two meetings a week, what you learnthere will definitely help shorten your time in transition. Also, many of thesegroups convene in the evening, so it will not take time away from your dailyjob search activities.
Think of these meetings as opportunities, sort of like going toschool, to learn something that can reduce your time in transition by gainingknowledge in job search and interviewing skills needed to excel and standoutfrom your competition.
In traveling to these events, consider car pooling. Not only willit reduce the cost of driving there, but the friendly conversation will makethe ride seem to go much faster.
If anyone is aware of a meeting that you would like to share withthe group, please let me know 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's e-mail address to my distributionlist.
Wishing everyone a Merry Christmas, a Happy Hanukkah, andmost importantly, a Health New Year,
