What does AIR have to do with it?
Join us on Tuesday March 18, 2008 as we roll out the fourth session of the SJN CURRICULUM on the Job Search Process.
I called a friend of mine, John, and asked him if there was an opening at his company. He said he wasnt sure, but didnt 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 isand dont do it OR some think they are networking, but arent doing it correctly. Did you know that 75-80% of jobs are attained through networking? Believe it or notit is true!
Join us when Martha Rockwell, career coach and 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!
Having graduated from Arizona State University, Marthas background includes career advisement, education, and sales.

What does it cost to participate?
We do not require membership dues or meeting fees to allow everyone who is in job transition to be able to participate.

9:30 Welcome, announcements, introductions
10:00 Speaker begins
11:15 Speaker ends, feedback collected

Scottsdale Job Network (SJN) is a non-profit community group of business leaders and volunteers. We are not a job placement forum, and we do not match candidates to openings nor do we send resumes to employers or recruiters. There is no guarantee of employment either directly through this group or as a result of association with SJN. We do, however, provide education in the job search process and all attendees have the opportunity to meet and work with people who offer support and guidance during employment transition.
The value of SJN lies in the skills, business networks and personal passions of our members. Membership is open to everyone willing to share their skills and anyone interested in local networking or in need of employment transition support.
