PLEASE BRING YOUR RESUME for mindful consideration, and active participation. So come out and join us – please plan to attend and spread the word. I am confident that you will enjoy this evening. MeetingAgenda – -General Networking --> arrive early to meet new contacts, catch up with old friends -Introductions --> hone your 'elevator pitch'; master this basic element of job search, networking, interviewing -Group Introspection --> Your Resume – What it is, What is Isn't, and Then Some *** 2015 Calendar - Future meeting dates – Jun 3 & 17, Jul 15, Aug 19*** If you have attended this group in the past and found the evening to be both rewarding and informative please spread the word, and invite a friend.
