SAVE THE DATE

 

COMBINED DINNER MTG – TUESDAY, October 19th

Recruiter Night Out

 

Raffle of 2 Amex Cards --- Razzino Associates

 

On Tuesday evening, October 19th, 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:          Daria Palestina - Emispere

-         Contingency:       Joe Hauser – Search EDP

-         Corporate           Mary Anne Kennedy – Riverside Church

-         Consulting:          Mike Szot -- KPMG

 

The panel will be moderated by Bill Belknap – Performance Leadership.

 

Bill Belknap has thirty years of senior management and human resources experience in a variety of industries including:  high tech, medical cost containment, consumer products, office products and financial services.

 

Fifteen years ago he co-founded Performance Leadership, a management-consulting firm, where he focuses on executive and career coaching.  He has been coaching managers and executives for over 25 years.

 

He is a certified Five O'Clock Club Career Coach and last year The Five O'Clock Club published  his first book, For Executives Only…Applying Business Techniques to Your Job Search.

 

On the personal side Bill is an amateur magician and fitness enthusiast; he has completed over 20 

Triathlons.  He is a graduate of Denison University

 

Unedited questions for the panel are included below. These questions are subject to editing until Friday, Oct 15th, 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 October 19th.  Again, ad hoc questions will be accepted by the Moderator during the discussion with the panelists and Bill Belknap  may have a few questions for the panelists himself.

 

 

The schedule for the dinner meeting on October 19th will be:

 

-         6:00 to 6:45 pm – Registration, "speed dating", and cash bar

-         6:45 to 7:15 pm - Introductions

-         7:15 pm - Dinner

-         8:00 pm - Panel discussion moderated by Bill Belknap

-         9:30 pm Approximate – Raffle 2 Amex Gift Cards – You must be there to win

 

The informal networking groups are so helpful in networking that we will do the "speed dating" again on the 19th 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 Friday, October 18th 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  October 16/17th.  The RSVP list will facilitate networking at the October 19th 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 19th.  Your number on the final RSVP list should be part of your introduction:  "I'm number x on the RSVP list …". 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 October 23rd.

 

We will accept a LIMITED number of walk-ins on the 19th.  Anyone who attends on the 19th and whose check has not been received by COB on the 18th 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 October 19th.

Directions to the Holiday Inn at One Rt 46 Westbound in Totowa can be found at www.holiday-inn.com/totowanj.  Expect substantial traffic congestion on Rt 46 at rush hour.  Attendees should allow an extra half hour to arrive at the Holiday Inn on time for the event.

Dues are due for MNA Members.

 

If you would like to help out at the meeting on the 19th, volunteer to be a "Meeting Marshall".  Call John Sampson at 973-248-3251 for details.  We can use your help!!!

 

Please join us for what is always a well attended evening of lively discussion, great networking opportunities, and a chance to just catch up.

LEAD: Meet Up is Hiring!

Posted by: "Ron Katz" ronhrkatz@yahoo.com   ronhrkatz

Fri Oct 15, 2010 11:12 am (PDT)



Meet Up is one interesting group. And they're hiring. Most positions require
some degree of familiarity with social networking. Others, some serious
programming chops. But you gotta love an organization that posts a job title,
"Product Manager, Secret Projects to Imperialize the Internet with Earnest
Intent to Spawn Mass Local Community Organizing", no? I love an organization
that refuses to take itself too seriously.
Link below.
Have a good weekend.
