Ramsey JSWT Members:
Recently I have been havingproblems with AOL categorizing my messages as spam and not letting medistribute it to a large number of recipients. To ensure that you receive mylist of Upcoming Networking Events, please join the following Yahoo Group thatI set-up at: upcoming_networking_events-subscribe@yahoogroups.com. Individuals,as well as other transition support networking groups, are welcome andencouraged to join.
In addition, mylaptop computer stopped working, so I cannot access my distribution list. Therefore, I can only send this message to myYahoo Networking Groups, until my PC is fixed.
Listed below are this Week's Upcoming Networking Events.All meetings are open to the public, plus you are welcome and stronglyencouraged to attend.
Think of these meetings as opportunities, sort of likegoing to school, to learn something that can reduce your time in transition bygaining knowledge in job search and interviewing skills needed to excel andstandout from your competition.
In traveling to these events, consider car-pooling. Not only will it reduce the cost of drivingthere, but the friendly conversation will make the ride seem to go much faster. Also, In the event of snow, ice, or inclement weather, pleasecheck with the meeting organizer if the presentation will be canceled orpostponed before traveling there. Your safety is important. Please rely on your best judgment beforeventuring out on slippery roads.
If anyone is aware of an upcoming meeting that you wouldlike to share with the group, please let me know and I will gladly include itwith my weekly updates.
