Saturday, January 10th from 7:30 - 10:15 am: The Breakfast Club will host Rod Colon, A Career Coach, who will give a presentation titled: Keep the Faith and Networking Alive. All of us are entrepreneurs, not because we should start companies, but because the will to create is encoded in human DNA, and creation is the essence of entrepreneurship. Rod will discuss that in order to adapt to the challenges of professional life today, we need to rediscover our entrepreneurial instincts and use them to forge new sorts of careers. Whether you are a lawyer, doctor, teacher, engineer or even a business owner, today you need to also think of yourself as an entrepreneur, at the helm of at least one living, growing start-up venture: your career, the CEO of Me, Inc. You future success depends on understanding and deploying these entrepreneurial strategies. More broadly, society flourishes when people think entrepreneurially.

The meeting is FREE and free bagel to first 50 who show up!


How TBCNJ Uses Social Networking and Media

Our vision was by having so many individuals in a concentrated geography that we could provide our members an edge to turn unknown to known opportunities, find out about targeted companies and opportunities, and better network into targeted firms by using technology to our members advantage. The following sites are available to help our members:

1. Website - www.thebreakfastclubnj. com - our main website with overall info and a link to become a member of the group by providing your contact info - name, phone and email

2. Yahoo Group - TheBreakfastClubNJ - is our primary communication channel. Members will receive and can post job transition and career management related info - job opportunities, introduction notes, notes for help in search, share job fairs, latest employment info, etc. Once a member by sending from email that they joined group to thebreakfastclubnj@yahoogroups.com

3. LinkedIn Group - TheBreakfastClub - NJ - once a member of our Yahoo Group one of our volunteers creates and sends an invite to join our LinkedIn Group. Once a member of LInked In Group, you then have to take the time and effort to link to each member directly

4. Facebook Group - TheBreakfastClubNJ - Once a member of TBCNJ you can join our Facebook group. Why Facebook? 5 times as many contacts on Facebook than LinkedIn - any questions contact Adrienne Roman at adrienne1204@optonline.net

in Princeton ( <http://www.trinityprinceton.org/> trinityprinceton.com) in
the form of a Résumé Tune-up and LinkedIn Profile Workshop. Participants
will walk away with knowledge about such things as the résumé read by humans
versus the résumé scanned by software, how to avoid common résumé mistakes
that put yours into the proverbial black hole, the elements that constitute
an effective résumé, and where to look for the right keywords for your job
search. In addition, you'll learn many pertinent tips for résumé
improvements. And we'll discuss what constitutes an effective LinkedIn
profile.

Who is this workshop for? It is recommended mostly for those currently in
transition and those considering changing jobs.

Where: Trinity Church, 33 Mercer Street, Princeton, NJ 08540

When: TUESDAY, January 13, 2015, from 1 p.m. to about 4 p.m.

Tuesday, January 6th from 7:30 - 9:30 pm: The Danbury Area Computer Society(DACS) will host John Barry, Owner and President ofITech Consulting Partners, who willgive a presentation titled: Trends in the Employment Market and Finding a Job. The economic recovery is progressing and IThiring is up, according to many industry observers. Finding a job appears to begetting easier, especially for IT professionals with certain skills. This isencouraging news for some but if you are stuck in a dead-end job using the sameold skill set, under employed or worse, how do you get started with aneffective job search? What skills are in high demand now and in the foreseeablefuture? John will answer these and otherconcerns that many of us have, in this informative and timely presentation thatwill answer the following questions: 1) What computer and technology jobs aretrending now and into the foreseeable future? What is the best way to obtainthose in demand skills for better paying jobs, i.e. formal training, on-lineclasses, self-study, certifications, volunteer work, or something else, 2) Whatare some of the pros and cons of choosing between contract, part time, or fulltime employment opportunities, 3) How to best use job boards such as CareerBuilder, Monster, ZipRecruiter.com and others? Should resumes be publiclyavailable for all recruiters to scrutinize (mass marketed), should contactinformation by hidden so they will contact you through the job board, or shouldcandidates review job postings based on keyword searches and initiate contactwith recruiters, 4) What is the role of networking, such as LinkedIn, businessmixers, local Chambers of Commerce, seminars, user groups, and others, 5) Whatis the best way to respond to a recruiter with a job opportunity, 6) Whatshould be in a cover letter?
