COMBINED DINNER MEETING
Tuesday December 1st, 2009

Gaming The System

Gerry Crispin SPHR

On Tuesday evening, December 1st, there will be a combined dinner meeting for current members, alumni, and guests of IT-Networking, MIS Network Associates (MNA), Monmouth Networking, Bergen FENG, The Breakfast Club NJ (TBCNJ), ETP Network, and Careers in Transition (CIT), and TENG at the Holiday Inn, Totowa, NJ.

The dinner meeting will include a presentation by Gerry Crispin on "Gaming The System".

Gerry Crispin is a consultant, HR practitioner, thought leader and author of 8 books and 100 articles. His views on employment strategy, hiring process and staffing technology are sought by many of the world's most competitive corporations.
Acknowledged as one of the most influential leaders in the staffing industry, Gerry and his business partner, Mark Mehler, founded CareerXroads in the mid 90's and today their firm facilitates intense, small-group meetings with staffing leaders at 80 of the world's largest multi-nationals. They create experiences that probe cutting-edge employment issues, contrast staffing best practices, and contribute to the evolution of the recruiting function.
It was during graduate school studying organizational behavior after receiving his Bachelor of Engineering from Stevens Institute of Technology that he awakened a keen interest in how Job Seekers 'game' their next career move while Employers tout their latest opportunities…everywhere in the world. In the 40 years since, Gerry has pursued his life-long passion about how firms design and build staffing processes, the technology to enhance them and the systems to manage them.
Gerry has worked in nearly every facet of the staffing Industry and the HR profession – from Career Services in College (1972-1975), HR leadership in major corporations like Johnson and Johnson (1975-1985) to boutique search firms (1984-1987) and recruitment advertising agencies (1987-1999).
Sought after as a speaker, Gerry has presented in a dozen countries and continues to be ranked among the top speakers at US national conferences for professionals in Human Resources, College & University Relations and Staffing services.
Gerry still sees himself as a student and, in the last several years, he interviewed and observed job seekers and employers in China, Canada, Japan, Australia, Russia and the UK to examine how cultural differences impact recruiting practices. He was in Australia in May and is headed to India next month.

Gerry is also a long term volunteer leader with the Society for Human Resource Management and will be leading a Task Force formed in April 2009 to develop American (ANSI) and International (ISO) standards in Staffing and workforce Planning.
Finally, Gerry returns to his alma mater each month as a volunteer to assist students and alumni in career transition. He has done so for more than 30 years.

The schedule for the dinner meeting on December 1st will be:

-         6:00 pm          Registration, cash bar, and "speed dating"
-         6:45 to 7:15    Individual introductions with RSVP list reference – see below
-         7:00 pm          Dinner
-         8:00 pm          Gerry Crispin's presentation with appropriate Q & A

Following our usual meeting format, after you have registered and added your resume, bio, etc. to the handout piles, everyone will participate in a series of informal networking groups of 3 to 5 participants i.e. "speed dating", before we sit down for dinner and the general introductions. Briefly, these informal groups last for approximately 10 minutes. At the end of the 10 minutes, the groups disperse, and new ones are formed with different participants. Suggested dialogues for the groupings will be provided at the registration desk.

There will be an opportunity to circulate up to 50 copies of your resume, personal bio, leads, or other appropriate material in a handout from the dinner.

The cost will be $45 for everyone if forwarded by mail or other to John Sampson by COB on Monday, November 30th at 2 Blackfoot Cir, Wayne NJ 07470. Checks should be made out to John Sampson. He can be reached at 973-248-3251. John's email is jcsspike@yahoo.com. Reservations can also be made through Lizanne Fiorentino at adminedg@optonline.net.

An RSVP list of attendees will be created and can be used to facilitate your networking activity. Current or last work affiliation, email address, and membership organization should be included in your RSVP. If you are in transition, please include the names of three target companies and the kind of position(s) you are seeking. If you are currently employed, you should provide the name of your last three employers. The preliminary RSVP will be distributed to the recipients of the initial mailing of this announcement and to all those on the list the week end before the dinner meeting for editing and informational purposes. A "final" numbered RSVP list will be available at the registration desk on Tuesday the 1st and can be used as part of your general introduction …"I'm # x on the RSVP list".

Since there will be walk-ins on the December 1st, the actual final list will be emailed to the attendees as quickly as possible after the 1st. The RSVP # will also appear on your name badge which will be available at the registration desk on the December 1st.

We will accept a LIMITED number of walk-ins on December 1st. Their cost will be $60 without exception as well as for RSVP's whose checks have not been received by COB on the November 30th. There will be NO refunds and no shows WILL be billed.

Again, attendees should bring 50 copies of their bio/resume, leads or materials they wish to be included in the handout for the evening of December 1st.

If you would like to help out at the meeting on the 1st, volunteer to be a "Meeting Marshall". Call John Sampson at 973-248-3251 for details. We can use your help!!!

Directions to the Holiday Inn at One Rt. 46 Westbound in Totowa Park can be found at www.holiday-inn.com/totowanj The venue, located on Rt. 46, has substantial traffic at rush hour; therefore, you should allow at least 30 minutes additional time for your trip to Totowa on Tuesday, December 1st.
