Northern NJ Professionals in Transition meet in Maplewood

The Northern NJ Professionals in Transition group, which meets at the main library, at 51 Baker Street, Maplewood, NJ, will have two Monday morning sessions in February.

 

On February 10th, at 10:00 a.m., our own Michael Dollinger will present “Forming a ‘Job Search Work Team’.”  While networking of all types is helpful in search, a ‘Job Search Work Team’ is also useful to many because it allows them to be part of a small group that focuses regularly on the issues of their individual search.  Members not only receive emotional support but get tips & guidance from fellow jobseekers going through search at the same time.  Michael, who is a (PMP-Certified Project/Program Manager with extensive experience in business/systems analysis, and a) regular participant at the Willow Grove Job Search Team in Scotch Plains, will explain the process (and how rewarding it feels, to give support, information & feedback, to your peers, too).  Find out more about Michael, here: http://www.linkedin.com/in/michaeldollinger

On February 24th, at 10:00 a.m., “Absolutely Abby” Kohut graciously returns to present “Taking Your Job Search by Storm in 2014.”  This dynamic (former H.R. professional and now) longtime career coach has been touring the country with the mission of helping 1 million jobseekers on her journey to help those in search, and is returning to NJ this week!  Now, more than ever, it’s time to take your job search by storm.  Superstorm Sandy taught us the 5 P’s.  We learned to be prepared, persistent, patient, positive and prudent.  Sandy also taught us to develop partnerships with others.  All of these qualities help us during a storm, and they also help us during our employment search.  Join Absolutely Abby—giving her a warm welcome her back to her home turf—as she teaches us the steps we need to take to assure ourselves a successful search in 2014.  More information about this wealth of knowledge: http://absolutelyabby.com/

 

Join us for both of these outstanding presentations!  The meetings go until noon, at least.
