Helping Job Seekers Succeed January 11, 2011

We invite all job seekers to our meeting on the Tuesday, Jan 11th. We meet in the St. Mary Immaculate Parish, 15629 S. Route 59 in Plainfield.

We support, listen, coach and help job seekers succeed. There is no cost to attend, pre-registration is not required, and everyone is welcome. Our members represent all ages, work backgrounds and future desires. Dress is casual.

If you are new to networking, come for a 6:30 pm introduction to networking tools like the Handbill and the Elevator Speech. At 7:00 pm, you can participate in a structured "Networking Session" to practice skills and expand your network. Bring at least 20 copies of your handbill or resume.

You can also meet with our volunteer coaches (each an experienced hiring manager) for a one-on-one "Work Session" to get your resume and handbill reviewed, develop networking & interviewing skills, or talk with a coach about spiritual/emotional/financial help needs.

Our future programs include:

Feb 22 Speaker, Becky Brillon / “LinkedIn - Facebook - Twitter”
