Join us on Tues, March 4, 9 AM, when Martha Rockwell, member of the SJN Curriculum Development Committee, will deliver a presentation that will take you through the steps of writing a resume. Learn the components of a well-written document that gets results! She will cover the following areas: types of resumes, headings and what to include, how to write an effective summary and accomplishments and posting your resume on the Internet. Bring your resume and you will work to improve it.

Job seekers are offered the opportunity to network, learn new job seeking skills, and work with people who genuinely care about you and your job search. See our website http://www.scottsdalejobnet.com/ for future meeting dates and programs scheduled.
Employed SJN Members and Recruiters Attend SJN Meetings - Take the opportunity to speak with recruiting agents and company HR representatives who attend our meetings. They are available from 9 AM and some stay until the end of the meeting.
Resume Reviews - At each meeting, a representative from the Resume Writers Council of Arizona will be available to critique resumes and offer improvement suggestions from 9-9:30 AM.
Web site - Additional resources are provided online through our website http://www.scottsdalejobnet.com/ including resources for basic needs, links to key job boards, map quest to our meetings, articles that have helped others, a list of volunteer opportunities, a reading list and more.
Volunteering - Whether you are a current job seeker or you are working and want to help people in job transition, there is a place for you to volunteer. Member participation is essential. It helps establish a stronger support program for those who follow. We encourage members to take part in the operations of the program in whatever way they can. See our website http://www.scottsdalejobnet.com/ for more about ways to make a contribution.
Open Invitation! Anyone interested in the support we provide is welcome. We do not require membership dues or meeting fees to allow everyone who is in job transition to be able to participate. Since our program is unfunded, we suggest that participants make a voluntary donation of $5 per meeting. When we have an all-day workshop, we do need to pass the costs along to participants.

Wish I Found this Group Months Ago!
Job seekers who attend their first Scottsdale Job Network (SJN) meeting or workshop are often surprised at the support offered by a community group of volunteer professionals. One participant recently commented, "I wish I found this group months ago!"
This week's meeting on Creating Your Vision and Developing a Personal Marketing Plan was attended by over 80 people--a record for SJN. Participants responded well to the message of speaker Jim O'Hara, President of Kellen James www.kellenjames.com and the SJN Director of Curriculum Development.
Feedback gathered after the session suggested that the SJN Curriclum on the Job Search Process www.scottsdalejobnet.com/sjn-curriculum/ is serving a real need for job seekers in the community.
SJN is open to all in the Greater Phoenix area, and participants join us from as far away as Florence and Surprise. We meet on the first and third Tuesdays, 9 AM - 11:30 AM, at Temple Chai in Phoenix, 4645 E. Marilyn Road, Phoenix, AZ 85032.
Job seekers are invited and encouraged to join us and take advantage of the support offered to boost their job search efforts!
Employers and recruiters are welcome to join us for free access to a variety of highly skilled people who are looking for work and you. Employers and recruiters can tell the room what kind of people they are looking for as well as network with them one on one.
Meetings in March will cover two valuable subjects for job seekers: Developing Your Resume and Creating Leads and Networking. Both programs will be presented by SJN supporter, Martha Rockwell, A+ Resumes & Career Coaching ttp://www.confidencebuilder.net and a member of SJN's Curriculum Development Committee.

CREATING LEADS AND NETWORKING
“I called a friend of mine, John, and asked him if there was an opening at his company. He said he wasn’t sure, but didn’t think so. I also called three other friends and told them I was looking for work. I asked them that if they heard of anyone who was hiring, would they please let me know.” I spent the whole morning on the phone networking.” Sound familiar? Most people know what networking is—and don’t do it OR some think they are networking, but aren’t doing it correctly. Did you know that 75-80% of jobs are attained through networking? Believe it or not—it is true!
Join us when Martha Rockwell, member of the SJN Curriculum Development Committee, delivers a presentation that will take you through the steps of the networking process! It is not as difficult as you might think. The best part about networking is that it gives you more control of your job search. Learning to network correctly will change your attitude toward this very important area of the job search process. Martha will give you a way to put some “AIR” into your search--- come and find out how!
Meetings: first and third Tuesdays, 9-11:30 AM
Temple Chai, 4645 E. Marilyn Road, Phoenix, AZ 85032

Networking at SJN Meetings
Networking is an important part of what we offer at SJN meetings, and it starts at 9 AM, a half hour before the program starts. This 30 minutes offers a great opportunity to speak with recruiters, employers and other members who are interested in you. Many employed supporters attend from 9 AM, and are not able to stay through the meeting to network after the meeting ends.
Starting 9 AM, it is the time to pick up contacts, job leads, offer help to others, get your resume reviewed and develop relationships with others in the group.
Don't miss the opportunity! Bring a business card, your resume, a smile and a firm handshake and make some great connections starting at 9 AM!
