Ramsey JSWT Members:

Listed below are next week'supcoming networking events. All meetings are open to the public, plus you arewelcome and strongly encouraged to attend. Try attending at least one or twomeetings a week, what you learn there will definitely help shorten your time intransition. Also, many of these groupsconvene in the evening, so it will not take time away from your daily jobsearch activities.

Think of these meetings asopportunities, sort of like going to school, to learn something that can reduceyour time in transition by gaining knowledge in job search and interviewingskills needed to excel and standout from your competition.

Intraveling to these meetings, consider car pooling. Not only will it reduce the cost of drivingthere, but the friendly conversation will make the ride seem to go much faster.

NextSaturday I will be distributing the list of July Networking Events. If anyone is aware of an upcoming meeting thatyou would like to share with your colleagues, please let me know and I willgladly add it to the list.

Thankyou,

Tom Donohue
