The holiday season is the best time to accelerate your job search for many reasons. Companies are planning for 2013 and will want to get the new year started off with full staffing. This is also the time when too many other job seekers pull back, making the the market a little less competitive. Watch your target companies on Twitter; build your LinkedIn network and contribute to your LinkedIn groups; get out to any and all face-to-face networking opportunities; and prepare for those tough interview questions. Let’s get you working on January 2, 2013.

Here’s a great opportunity to hnetwork with other job seekers in an informal setting.

SOCIAL 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, SJN Vice President and social networking expert, 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.
