Ramsey JSWT Members:

Listed below are the upcoming October 2015 Networking Events. Allmeetings are open to the public, plus you are welcome and strongly encouragedto attend.

Many of the organizations listed below offer networking meetingsthat convene monthly, semi-monthly, or weekly. Try to attend at least one ortwo meetings a week. Many of these groups convene in the evening, so it willnot take time away from your daily job search activities. Plus, they haveinteresting 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 jobsearch related topics.

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.

Also, in order to maximize your network, try to attend meetings indifferent geographical areas, but especially in towns where you are targetingcompanies that you would like to work for. Not only will you learn valuable jobsearch skills, but greatly expand your circle of friends. Who knows, the personyou meet at one of these networking events may be able to introduce you to ahiring manager at one of your target companies.

In traveling to these events, consider carpooling. Not only will it reduce the cost of drivingthere, 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 List at www.landingexpert.com.
