COMBINED DINNER MTG â€" TUESDAY, June 29th
Recruiter Night Out
Raffle: 2 $100 Amex Gift Certificates donated by Razzino Associates
On Tuesday evening, June 29th, MIS Network Associates (MNA), IT-Networking, the ETP Network, TENG, The Breakfast Club of NJ, Monmouth Networking, and Careers In Transition (CIT) will host a combined Recruiter Night Out dinner meeting for members, alumni, friends, and guests at The Holiday Inn in Totowa, NJ. The Recruiter Night Out will include a dialogue with a panel of four recruiters from the venues listed below responding to pre-published questions and ad hoc inquiries from the dinner meeting attendees:
- Corporate: Diane Briggs - KPMG
- Corporate: John McKinley â€" Marotta Control Systems
- Contingency: TBD
- Consulting: Joe Stefanelli â€" Mitchell/Martin
The panel will be moderated by Joe Gadino CSC
Unedited questions for the panel are included below. These questions are subject to editing until Friday, June 25th, when the final list will be published electronically to the previous recipients. Please return your comments on the questions to John Sampson at jcsspike@yahoo.com ASAP. The final questions will be available in hard copy at the registration desk the evening of the dinner meeting on June 29th. Again, ad hoc questions will be accepted by the moderator during the discussion with the panelists and Joe Gadino may have a few questions for the panelists himself.
The schedule for the dinner meeting on June 29th will be:
- 6:00 to 6:45 pm â€" Registration, “speed datingâ€, and cash bar
- 6:45 to 7:15 pm â€" Personal Introductions
- 7:15 pm - Dinner
- 8:00 pm - Panel discussion moderated by Joe Gadino
- 9:30 approx - Raffle â€" You must be present to win
The informal networking groups are so helpful in networking that we will do the “speed dating†again on the 29th before we sit down for dinner and the general introductions. Briefly, these informal “dates†consist of up to 4 people and last for 5 to 10 minutes. At the end of the 10 minutes, the groups break up and new ones are formed with different participants. Suggested dialogues for your “speed dating†encounters will be provided at the registration desk in case you are at a loss for what to say during these conversations.
There will be an opportunity to circulate up to 75 copies of your resume, personal bio, leads, or other appropriate material in a handout for each participant from the dinner.
The cost will be $45 for everyone if forwarded by mail or other to John Sampson by COB Monday June 28th at 2 Blackfoot Cir, Wayne NJ 07470. Checks should be made out to John Sampson who can be reached by phone at 973-248-3251 or via email at jcsspike@yahoo.com . Reservations can also be made by contacting Lizanne Fiorentino at adminedg@optonline.net but checks must be sent directly to John.
An initial list of attendees will be emailed to all the RSVPs, members of MNA, the ETP Network, TENG, The Breakfast Club of NJ, Monmouth Ntwkg, IT-Net, CIT and other interested parties over the weekend of June 26th. The RSVP list will facilitate networking at the June 29th meeting and can be used to communicate with attendees in advance or after the dinner meeting. For those attendees who are working, current work affiliation, email address, three previous companies you’ve worked for/consulted at, professional job interest or position availability must be included in your RSVP.
For those attendees who are in transition, three target companies should be included in your RSVP as well as the type of position you seek.
A “final†numbered RSVP list of attendees will be available along with the pre-published questions and an ID badge at the registration desk on the 29th. Your number on the final RSVP list should be part of your introduction: “I’m number x on the RSVP list …â€. All attendees should have their sharp, crisp, 30 second elevator speech at the ready. Too many “ahs, dees and doeses†will be cut off unceremoniously. Remember, you and your introduction will be between the rest of the attendees and dinner!
A final RSVP list of the actual attendees will be emailed to everyone who participated by July 4th weekend.
We will accept a LIMITED number of walk-ins on the 29th. Anyone who attends on the 29th and whose check has not been received by COB on the 28th will be charged $60 WITHOUT EXCEPTION. There will be NO refunds and no shows WILL be billed.
Again, bring 75 copies of your bio/resume, leads, or materials you wish to be included in the handout the evening of June 29th.
Directions to the Holiday Inn at One Rt 46 Westbound in Totowa can be found at www.holiday-inn.com/totowanj . Traffic congestion on Rt 46 at rush hour is always substantial, so allow an extra half hour to get to the Holiday Inn.
Dues are due for MNA Members.
If you would like to help out at the meeting on the 29th, volunteer to be a “Meeting Marshallâ€. Call John Sampson at 973-248-3251 for details. We can use your help!!!
Please join us for what always is a well attended evening of lively discussion, great networking opportunities, and a chance to just catch up.

#1 FREE TRIAL Jobseeker Mastermind Group: Tuesday, Jun. 15, 2-3PM EST
A new type of teleseminar specifically geared to YOUR needs.
1 ½ hour sessions, no more than 5 participants per call. The first 30 minutes we'll talk about a subject that the group feels is important—resumes, job interviewing, networking how-to's—anything. The rest of the call, we'll talk about the challenges you faced last week.
Yes YOU! What bugged you? What didn't go your way? What's your stumbling block? What issue came up that you weren't sure how to handle? We'll talk about and solve YOUR problem, and you'll learn from the 4 other callers.
How can you NOT get something out of this program?
So just to show you the power of this format, I'm offering a free call, this Tuesday, Jun. 15th from 2-3 PM EST.
Benefits:
Versus a regular teleseminar--the smaller class size allows you to get to know your classmates, share ideas, and potentially job leads.
You learn from eachother--so if you eventually are faced with the same situation, you know how to handle it.
Your specific questions are addressed. You get the benefits of classroom learning combined with individual coaching.
Sense of accountability. At each weekly check-in, we'll expect progress, and will provide you the support to make sure you get there.
SIGN UP HERE FOR THE FREE CALL: http://www.eventbrite.com/event/ 485728828? ref
=elink
I will choose 5 attendees beforehand to discuss what's going on in their search. They will unmute their phone during the call, but other attendees will remain muted. So I can't manage as much open discussion
You'll receive the information on the call after you register.
If you like what you hear--prices are below.
All 4 weeks: $180
Try it for 2 weeks: $90
1 week: $45
Testimonials from last session's participants:
"I would highly recommend Melanie to anyone involved in a job search. She has great ideas and practical suggestions on how to market yourself to potential employers for all industries and experience levels." Stacie Zimmerman -- Seeking Family Law Positions in CT.
"I found Melanie to be very personable and gave really good points on learning to be a better job seeker.." Peter Brot -- Seeking Actuarial Positions Anywhere in the US.
#2 In-Person Meetup for CT Jobseekers
Job Interview Challenge: This is meant to simulate what an employer faces when hiring candidates. Here's how it's going to work.
For those who wish to participate, they need to let me know basically what types of jobs they are looking for: (i.e. Marketing, Project Management, IT, Administrative Assistant) Broad categories.
I'll then group candidates to be interviewed. Everyone else who attends the meeting (or who isn't competing in that group) will rate the candidates on basic interview skills. I'll provide a score sheet with common interview qualities--clarity, descriptiveness of answers, eye contact, body language, etc. We'll discuss those qualities and basic guidelines on what to look for. Constructive feedback will be shared so everyone learns from the experience.
Since there won't be job descriptions that people are applying for, I'll ask questions that apply to anyone to level the playing field. No worries that a more junior marketing person will be interviewing in the same group as a senior marketing candidate.
Winners in each group will receive a gift certificate to Silver Star Diner (of course).
If you've always wondered how your competition interviews and what it's like to be a hiring manager and have to make that judgment call--then you MUST attend this meeting.
If you'd like to be a contestant--please email me your information at Melanie at interviewcoaches. com. You have nothing to lose, and will definitely improve your job interview skills.
One session: Silver Star Diner in Norwalk on Wed. June 16th at 7:30 PM
Another session, St. John the Evangelist Catholic Church in Stamford on Monday, June 28th at 7:30 PM.
Please sign up here so I have a rough count of attendees. http://www.meetup.com/CareerHelp/
Let me know if you have questions. Thanks!
