Ramsey JSWT Members:
Listed below are next week's upcoming networking events. Allmeetings are open to the public, plus you are welcome and strongly encouragedto attend. Try going to at least one or two meetings a week, what you learnthere will definitely help shorten your time in transition. Also, many of thesegroups convene in the evening, so it will not take time away from your dailyjob search activities.
Think of these meetings as opportunities, sort of like going toschool, to learn something that can reduce your time in transition by gainingknowledge in job search and interviewing skills needed to excel and standoutfrom your competition.
In traveling to these events, consider car pooling. Not only willit reduce the cost of driving there, but the friendly conversation will makethe ride seem to go much faster.
Next week I will be distributing the list of November 2014networking events. If anyone is aware ofa meeting that you would like to share with the group, please let me know and Iwill gladly include it. Also, if anytransition support group would like to receive this list to share with yourmembers, please let me know and it would be my pleasure to add your group'se-mail address to my distribution list.
