RamseyJSWT 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 groups convene in the evening, so it will not taketime away from your daily job search 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.

In traveling to these meetings,consider car pooling. Not only will it reduce the cost of driving there, butthe friendly conversation will make the ride seem to go much faster.

If anyone is aware of an upcomingmeeting that you would like to share with the group, please let me know and Iwill gladly add it to the list. Also, if any transition support group wouldlike to receive this list, let me know and it will be my pleasure to add yourgroup to the distribution list.
