Monday is Wonderful Weirdos Day! Yes, you read that right—Monday is the day we celebrate all the quirky, unique, and wonderfully weird qualities that make you, YOU! In the job search world, these distinctive traits can often be the very things that set you apart and help you land the role of your dreams. Remember, employers aren’t just looking for someone to fit in; they’re searching for someone who stands out! Join me on our 116th Career Wake Up Call on September 9th to explore how embracing your uniqueness can become your superpower in the job market.
Being “weird” isn’t just okay—it’s essential. Whether it’s a unique hobby, an unconventional career path, or an outside-the-box way of thinking, the things that make you different are the very things that make you valuable. You need to highlight these traits on your resume, in interviews, and on LinkedIn, turning what might seem like quirks into qualities that will captivate hiring managers. After all, it’s not about fitting into a mold; it’s about breaking it and showing the world what makes you exceptional.
So, mark your calendar for September 9th and join me as we celebrate Wonderful Weirdos Day by embracing our individuality and learning how to let our true selves shine in every step of our job search. Turn your wonderful weirdness into a winning strategy!
Looking forward to seeing you on the call!

Whether your gainfully employed or currently in transition, navigating the environment, culture, and climate within an organization has become more challenging in part due to various return to office policies.
Please join us for this highly interactive discussion designed to help the participants raise their self-awareness and position themselves to consider modifying long held perspectives on their career objectives.
Maggie Pazian is an internationally accredited specialist in the science of nonverbal communication, behavior, and emotion. She has more than fifteen years of experience coaching and training others in the skills of accurately perceiving and interpreting emotional information. Maggie is passionate about approaching issues with an emotional intelligence framework and practical application of scientific tools and techniques that help leaders modify behaviors and elevate not only their leadership, but also their well-being. She coaches clients in the process of discovering default tendencies, beliefs, and perceptions, and becoming more conscious of how these guide decisions and actions. By introducing choice into an automatic process, clients can consistently choose how to respond to their environment, in turn becoming more aware and connected, and achieving the results that drive business and personal success.
Mike Palestina has 20+ years of experience as an Executive Coach along with more than 20 years of Fortune 250 business leadership experience (in a variety of non-HR related functional areas including Marketing and Business Development, Client Implementation and Services, IT, Project Management, and Operations).

Monday mornings – The Ramsey Job Search Work Team meets every Monday morning. Networking starts from 9 to 9:30am and the meeting starts at 9:30 to 10:30 while virtual. Members are expected to hold each other accountable at weekly (virtual) meetings for conducting a job search in earnest. Historically, the team has enjoyed a very high rate of “landings” by those conducting an active and vigorous job search.
Based on the Lee-Hecht-Harrison model, it’s more of a project management team made up of people committed to helping each other in the job search. By attending regularly and staying focused on key tasks, meetings serve as an advisory panel that knows you and your search and can offer answers to the questions that come up in job hunting.
Help others to help you (especially for the first few meetings) by having a prepared “elevator pitch” to introduce yourself. Jobs open up because there’s a problem to solve or a need to fill.
Please contact Beth Berkenfeld at bberk2@optonline.net or 201-797-4342 if interested in joining the group.
