 AUGUST  2010 SCHEDULE

August 2 – “READING CAN PROMPT CREATIVE IDEAS”-We will discuss a list of recommended readings related to the career transition process.  Summer is a great time to settle with a book at the beach or in the backyard.  Bring your ideas and favorite list of books to share with the group!

August 9 – “NETWORKING-THE ROAD TO SUCCESS IN THIS TOUGH ECONOMY” – We will discuss what is working for the group with their networking and the importance of keeping your networking skills going during your career search.  This is one ball that you don’t want to drop.

August 16 – “RECRUITING USING SOCIAL NETWORK MEDIA” – We will have a guest speaker, Katie S. Nix, Human Resource Manager for McKonly & Asbury, LLP. She will discuss the relatively new practice of utilizing social media in the recruitment of staff.

August 23 – “UNUSUAL INTERVIEW SITUATIONS” –When we envision ourselves in an interview, it probably involves an office, desk and one other person.  What if it is at lunch, or outside in the courtyard or over the telephone?  We will talk about what to do when your interview is not typical and how to handle these unusual interview situations.

August 30 – “THE PRODUCT IS YOU!”- A job search is a marketing campaign that involves a product that you should know very well - yourself.  We will discuss the importance of always presenting yourself in a positive manner and strategies to use when selling yourself to a potential employer.

 Please note: 

·         Our sessions begin promptly at 10:00 a.m. and end at 11:30 a.m.  All clients are welcome to stay, spend extra time networking and/or using the resources in the office.

·         To help us plan and prepare, please register with Evelyn or in the book at the front desk.

  Enjoy the final days of summer noticing the positive and maybe trying

a little golfing, picnicking, swimming and job hunting.
