SPECIAL EVENT!

CAREER NETWORKING GROUP

Tuesday, March 29, 2011

7:30 - 9:30 PM

Somerset Hills YMCA

"Speed Networking"

Moderator: John Hadley

TOPIC

This is a joint session of the Career Forum and the Career Networking Group.

Our moderator, John Hadley, will show us how to make the most of this opportunity, sharing simple tips that will make us more effective, and guides us through a series of speed networking mini-meetings.

Networking provides you access to new perspectives and resources you can draw on throughout your career, and is absolutely critical to an effective job search. However, many of us don't know how to do it well, and therefore find it uncomfortable. John will provide pointers you can apply on the spot to create a fun and productive evening.

Our goal is to equip and encourage you to proactively build a powerful network to accelerate your job search, career or business development, and to measurably increase your network right on the spot!

Try to bring a name tag, and a supply of business cards!

Note: Before the "Speed Networking" actually begins, everyone will do a 20 second introduction

MODERATOR

He also works with professionals struggling to achieve the visibility that leads to new opportunities at work and in the market.

The 4 Killer Job Search Mistakes – Mistake #4

Posted by: "Judi" judi@rightchanges.biz   judi.adams@ymail.com

Wed Mar 23, 2011 5:54 pm (PDT)



Mistake #4 is a must read for all people - employed and unemployed.

This is a very tough job market. Many highly skilled, extremely professional job seekers are taking an unprecedented amount of time to find a job. There are, though, four killer mistakes that job seekers are making that turn a long job search into an even longer one. This multiple part series will cover these mistakes and give the job seeker (you) tools to overcome them.

In the first part of this series, we covered Mistake 1: conducting the search with a bad attitude. We learned the realities about the new job market so we can successfully navigate in it. We learned what it takes to process the loss, we have a way to deal with pressure points and we have chosen to look for the opportunity

In part two, we covered mistake 2: Not Knowing Your Product and Your Target Market. Job seekers must understand the product they are selling and the market they are targeting before they update their resume and begin their search.

Mistake 3 was searching the wrong way. The majority of job seekers apply for jobs on-line yet only 10% or less of job seekers get their jobs that way. The right way to search for a job is through networking.

Mistake 4: Stopping When You are Employed
