Have you sent a Thank You message to people who have helped you in the past year? Whether you've landed or not, there are people who've been there for you. They've listened, they've made suggestions, they've helped you. Now is a great time to reconnect with them and just say thank you. No request for leads, meetings or to "take one more look at your resume." Just a simple thank you for being part of your network, and part of your world.

It's a great way to show them the professional you are and always will be. 
I hope you can take the time this week to be with family and friends and have a happy Thanksgiving.
Only the best,
Ron

Why December Is Prime Time For Your Job Search
Companies often 'find' money they must spend by year's end
* By Miriam Salpeter | Posted Nov 20th 2013 @ 5:00AM
You think the holidays are a great time to kick back and take a break
from your job search. "No one is hiring now, anyway." Think again! Year
after year, research shows December can be a great month for landing
opportunities, so it is a big mistake to take a break now. Here are six reasons to ramp up your job search at this time of year.

1. Companies sometimes "find" money they need to spend at this time of year.
Wouldn't it be nice to suddenly discover money you didn't know you had?
That happens more often than you think at large companies. They realize
at the 11th hour that they have enough in the budget to fill extra
positions, but they need to get the people in seats before the end of
the year, or the money will disappear. If you stop looking for a job or
get lackadaisical about checking emails, you may lose an opportunity and
never even know it.

2. A lot of people think December is a good month to stop searching for jobs.
Not everyone is keeping up with the latest and greatest when it comes to
job search like you are! A lot of your peers are taking the easy road
and sitting back this month. As a result, the competition is a little
less fierce, and it could mean you have an opportunity to jump on a job
before your otherwise more qualified colleague stops to check job
listings.

Anyone in the careers industry, including resume writers and job search
strategists, will tell you that January is typically a very busy time,
because that's when many people try to fulfill their new year's
resolutions that involve getting out of jobs they hate. Don't sit back and wait to re-enter the pool with everyone else! Get
ramped up now to take advantage of possible opportunities.

3. Unexpected openings.
Some companies give big bonuses at this time of year, and employees who
were waiting for those big checks to clear before giving notice will
begin to announce their intention to leave – or, in some cases, just
walk out the door. When you make yourself available, you will give
yourself potential opportunities that would otherwise pass you by.

4. Surprise projects during an otherwise slow time may yield temporary gigs.
We all know a lot of people take time off during the holidays. If the
organization finds itself in need of extra, warm bodies to get the work
done while their typical team is vacationing and decking the halls, it
gives you an opportunity to step in as a contract or temporary worker.
This gives you the chance to audition for a role in the company, even if
you know the regular employee is coming back. If you are impressive
enough, the organization may find a place for you.

5. Being available may get you half-way there.
When recruiters are in a hurry or hiring managers have an urgent need,
the fact that you get right back to them during a holiday period will
make you stand out and give a good impression. There aren't a lot of other times during the year when just being prompt makes such a difference.

6. Networking opportunities increase.
Networking is the best way to find a job and the holidays are nothing if
not a good opportunity to network. While it's best to touch base with
your network throughout the year, now is arguably the time when you can
feel comfortable writing a note to someone who hasn't heard one word
from you all year long. Don't turn all of your holiday notes into pleas
for a job, but you can subtly incorporate your future plans into a note
wishing your colleagues well. Many people do have a little less work to
do at this time of year and may be willing to meet for coffee or lunch.
If you can finesse a reason for one of your contacts to meet with you,
when opportunities come up early in the year, you will be top-of-mind.
 
All the best,

From: Schulman, Sylvia <sschulman@westportlibrary.org>

Hello everyone,

In December, The Westport Library will offer two jobseeker seminars and
one business workshop. In addition, I'm passing along to you the
attached document that announces an upcoming seminar, sponsored by two
private groups, at the Trumbull Marriott.

Here's the information on the library programs:

*Jobseeker Special: Ending Sweaty Palms and Awkward Answers---a Better
Way of Preparing for Job Interviews*

Tuesday, Dec 3, 2013 7:00 PM - 8:30 PM
The Westport Library McManus Room

Career coach *Melanie Szlucha* of Red Inc. teaches effective techniques
for excelling in interviews. Many times candidates feel like they don't
have anything to say in a job interview, or are overwhelmed by looking
at a shopping list of questions they might be asked. It can be difficult
to understand how experiences that seem insignificant to them can really
be crucial to an employer's hiring decision, and then how to concisely
structure answers to those questions. Participants will learn to make a
better impression on an employer by being prepared with topics to discuss.

This talk also covers the finer points of an interview such as
establishing rapport, avoiding the Walk of Silence from the receptionist
desk to the interview, negotiating the offer, and preparing for the 5
questions ALWAYS asked.

*Business Special: Trademarks, Copyrights and Patents*

Tuesday, Dec 10, 2013 6:00 PM - 8:00 PM
The Westport Library McManus Room

*Jonathan Winter,* a patent attorney and an Associate at St. Onge,
Steward, Johnston & Reene in Stamford, and *Will Tennant,* a trademark
and copyright attorney and SCORE counselor present this workshop on what
a small busineess needs to know about trademarks, copyrights and patents.

Advance registration with SCORE at scorenorwalk.org
<http://www.scorenorwalk.org> is suggested. Sign-in at 5:30 pm; workshop
at 6 pm. /Co-sponsored with Fairfield County SCORE./

*Jobseekers: Energize Your Job Search*

Wednesday, Dec 11, 2013 10:00 AM - 11:30 AM
The Westport Library McManus Room

Gain an advantage by using valuable online tools such as /Reference USA,
LexisNexis /and /Plunkett Research. /Learn how to identify your key
companies, spot industry trends, and get in-depth background information
for greater success in networking and interviewing.

Regards,

*Sylvia A. Schulman*
