Tuesday’s Tip: Mark Your Calendars

Posted by Kevin Crews - The Career Strategist on December 14, 2010 in Job Tip |
Starting on January 5th, 2011, there will be a new kind of networking club in town. Do you want to attend a club that has training about all aspects of your job search? Do you want to meet with live recruiters? Do you want Hiring Managers from your target companies present to network with and sell your skills to?

Recurring on the first and third Wednesday of each month, these exciting events are opportunities for everyone to network, learn, and have fun. Open to everyone regardless of employment status, our networking groups bring together people currently in transition, those thinking about changing jobs, those who are employed and even those who are doing the hiring.

Each event is slightly different but will follow a basic agenda:
1st Wednesday of the month format:
* The evening opens with a training session on any variety of topics from resume tips and tricks to negotiating salary to using social media in a job search.
* We then move into a comprehensive Q&A session to directly address any issues or problems you may be having in your job search.
* After a short break, we get right back into the thick of things with a group session aimed at peer-to-peer communication. A very powerful part of any evening!
* Finally, we'll wrap up each "First Wednesday" with a roundtable networking session. Remember to bring your rolodex!

3rd Wednesday of the month format:
* The evening opens with a training session on any variety of topics from resume tips and tricks to negotiating salary to using social media in a job search.
* We then do a detailed review of the latest tools and techniques for job searching. This can include new ways to use online resume and job boards, social media sites, new resume techniques, etc.
* After a short break, we get right back into the thick of things with a reverse job fair; that's right, we bring the recruiters to you! Be prepared by bringing your resume, rolodex, and elevator speech.
Throughout the year,look for guest speakers, reviews of new search tools and techniques, and more!
