Our next Northern Fairfield Professionals (NFP) meeting is Tuesday,
September 8th.
Our guest speaker Tucker Mayes, Principal of OptiMarket, an executive job
search counseling firm will present on "How to Develop the Right Job
Objective"
The three most important elements in job search are 1. Job Objective, 2.
Networking and 3. Interviewing. A great deal of attention is concentrated on
developing effective skills to support networking and interviewing, but not
nearly enough on creating a carefully crafted job objective.
Your entire job search rests on the foundation of a well-defined objective
that allows the job market to clearly understand what you want and how it
can help you. Unfortunately, most job objectives are too broad, often
unrealistic, and nearly always unfocused. The fact is, however, that the
more focused your objective, the shorter the search. It may seem counter
intuitive, but it has been proven over and over.
NFP is where people meet to expand their network connections, as well as
learn the tools needed to advance their careers. Business professionals from
all industries and career levels are welcome to attend our monthly meetings.
Our philosophy is to build reciprocal relationships where business
professionals can exchange ideas, job leads, and build networking skills.
We usually have a guest speaker discuss a topic of interest for business
professionals.
