COMBINED DINNER MEETING
Tuesday, May 4, 2010
 
LinkedIn  "301"
 
 
On Tuesday evening, May 4th, there will be a combined dinner meeting for current members, alumni, and guests of IT-Networking, MIS Network Associates (MNA), Monmouth Networking, The Breakfast Club NJ (TBCNJ), ETP Network, and Careers in Transition (CIT) at the Holiday Inn, Totowa, NJ.  Ed Steinberg will present on the current status and use of LinkedIn.
 
Ed joined LinkedIn in 2008 where he is a Sr Relationship Manager responsible for handling all renewals for clients. His job is to make sure that each client gets the most out of LinkedIn.
Ed provides unique recruiting solutions for employers that improve the quality of their hires while maximizing  their productivity and effectiveness. He leverages his knowledge of staffing to help other organizations utilize the LinkedIn network of over 60 million members to meet their hiring goals.
 
Prior to joining LinkedIn, Ed held positions at StarCite, Synygy, and Strategic Management Group.
 
In this difficult job market, there is no more basic tool for assisting you in your campaign to get connected than LinkedIn. Ed will discuss LinkedIn from the point of view of job hunters as to strategies for successful use of the system, brand establishment and management, and current capabilities with some hints about future enhancements.  Did you know that LinkedIn.is being updated every two weeks?
Ed will also be available to answer your questions on current technical use and personal strategies. Whether you're an novice or an expert, in transition or not, you'll want to come and hear Ed speak about this very powerful software to enhance your networking activity.
The schedule for the dinner meeting on May 4th 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 – Ed Steinberg's  presentation with appropriate Q & A
-         9:30  Approx Close
 
Following our usual meeting format, after you have registered and added your resume, etc. to the handout piles, everyone will participate in a series of informal networking groups 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 $30 for everyone if forwarded by mail or other to John Sampson by COB on April 23rd at 2 Blackfoot Cir, Wayne NJ 07470.  Checks should be made out to John. 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 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 the 4th and can be used as part of your general introduction …"I'm # x on the RSVP list". Your number will also appear on your name badge which will be available at the registration desk on the 4th.
 
 The cost will be $45 for everyone after EOB Friday, April 23rd up to EOB on Monday, May 3rd.
 
Since there will be walk-ins on the 4th, the final RSVP list will be emailed to the attendees as quickly as possible after May 4th.
 
We will accept a LIMITED number of walk-ins on May 4th.  Their cost will be $60 without exception as well as for RSVP's whose checks have not been received by COB on the May 3rd. 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 May 4th.
 
If you would like to help out at the meeting on the 4th, 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    Traffic congestion at rush hour is substantial on Rt 46, so you should allow an extra half hour  to get to the Holiday Inn on the 4th.
