Listedbelow are next week's upcoming Networking Events. All meetings are open to thepublic, plus you are welcome and strongly encouraged to attend. Try attending at least one or two meetings aweek, what you learn there will definitely help shorten your time intransition. Also, many of these groups convene in the evening, so it will nottake time away from your daily job search activities.
Think ofthese meetings as opportunities, sort of like going to school, to learnsomething that can reduce your time in transition by gaining knowledge in jobsearch and interviewing skills needed to excel and standout from yourcompetition.
Intraveling to these meetings, consider car pooling. Not only will it reduce thecost of driving there, but the friendly conversation will make the ride seem togo much faster.
