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.
If anyone is aware of a meeting that you would like to share withthe group, please let me know and I will gladly include it. Also, if any transition support group wouldlike to receive this list to share with your members, please let me know and itwould be my pleasure to add your group's e-mail address to my distributionlist.

Monday, November 17th from10:30 am - 1:00 pm: ProfessionalService Group of Central NJ will host VictorS. Manganaro, a career coach, who will give a presentation titled: Effective Communication Through ImaginationWorkshop. As career coaches advise, the key to a successful interview isdelivering strong answers without hesitation. Answers must be prepared inadvance but recited without sounding scripted. This is definitely not easiersaid than done. Victor will show theaudience exactly how to do that by getting attendees to step out of the box ofrehearsed or stumbled responses by using improvisational or improv techniquesand exercises. Learn to be in the moment by listening carefully, respondingspontaneously, and thinking quickly in role-playing situations. The key improv elements that are useful whennetworking and interviewing include: 1) Listen with intent. Job seekers shouldalways remain in the moment, or they will miss or mistake important details,questions and even body language. Consequently, their responses may be muddledor off the mark, reflecting negatively on the candidate. 2) Think quickly. Incombination with good preparation, improv helps improve a candidates' responsetime so that what they say at the next meeting or interview is clearer, compelling,and even brilliant, and 3). Make timely effective decisions. Improv helps jobseekers make and implement decisions more quickly and take advantage of veryshort windows of opportunity. Manganaro'snot-to-be-missed, lively workshop uses exercises illustrating these importantelements to give audience-members the needed tools to land their dream job.
