Understanding the Emotions of a Career Change

Join us to understand the emotions that may surface during the job transition period and learn coping strategies. Moving forward, you'll find it easier to focus energies on your job search and next employment opportunity.

Creating Your Vision and Personal Marketing Plan

Having a vision and creating a personal marketing plan is one of the best ways to start a job search or career transition. Assessing your skills inventory, deciding who you want to “dance” with and considering whether to relocate are addressed in this thought-provoking presentation. This program will offer insights and guide you to develop a personal marketing strategy and a tactical plan for getting visibility.

Evening Networking: Mon, September 22, 2008 – 7 PM – 9 PM

SJN will be practicing social networking in two forms: first online and then as a mixer. Bill Austin will spend the first hour demonstrating the LinkedIn platform focusing on the how-to's. It should be noted that Bill Austin is not a certified or accredited trainer, not associated with LinkedIn, and LinkedIn is a trademark. After Bill's presentation, we'll have open networking, socializing and light refreshments. Should be a fun time! We'll expect many of our working members to join us for this evening event.

There are no fees to participate, and donations to SJN are appreciated.

No sign-up needed for these events being held at Temple Chai in North Scottsdale. See our website for more information http://www.scottsdalejobnet.com/

We hope you’ll join us soon!
