Wednesday, March 12th from 7:00p-9:00p, the Hillsdale Career Networking Group is hosting an exciting and distinguished guest speaker.  Our own Gary Gabaccia !

At our January meeting, you may recall that when our featured speaker cancelled at the last minute, Gary stepped up with a presentation he had given previously to other groups, but not in its entirety to ours.  “Confessions of a Corporate Recruiter” provided an insight into the recruiting process from the perspective of the employer, walking step-by-step through the recruiting process starting from creation of the job post all the way through the presentation of the offer. The group’s reaction was so positive, and the questions asked were so good, that we simply ran out of time before we could complete the entire presentation. So our topic for our March meeting will be “Confessions of a Corporate Recruiter, Part 2″. 

 

Gary’s experience comes from spending the last 13 years of his 37-year IBM career in recruiting, progressing from a hands-on recruiter to a Recruiting Manager to a Recruiting Executive. He has recruited for every level of IT professionals. The stories he’ll tell are from real life and will give you a perspective about interviewing that you may not already have. Bring all your questions for a frank and open discussion about how employers look at and evaluate job candidates.”

 

Please join us on Wednesday evening as Gary shares all the secrets. Bring a friend or college student or a spouse for an incredible evening!!

As always, our meeting will be held in the Parish Center of St. John the Baptist Church, 69 Valley Street, Hillsdale, NJ.

 

Networking will begin at 6:30pm if you would like to get a jump start connecting with members attending our “speed dating.” We will also have a raffle, coffee and desserts, and other exciting surprises for the event. Please bring copies of your resume(s) and business cards to exchange with others.

 

As always, reach out to Janelle at any time for even more help with ramping up your job interview skills, knowing what the hiring company most wants to know about you, getting “un-stuck” in your job search, regaining your confidence, answering tough interview questions, acquiring the leads and contacts you need, and so much more. 

The Hillsdale Career Networking Group presents guest speakers on topics such as boosting your confidence and energy, creating a positive daily attitude, meeting others in a network group for the exchange of valuable insights, helping others to help each other and successfully overcoming the speed bumps that afflict everyone’s job campaign.

 

Please feel free to forward this note to ANYONE  you think would benefit from joining us. Better yet, bring them with you! Everyone is welcome, and each month we cover a range of topics suitable to anyone in transition, including networking, resume preparation, interviewing and a variety of others. Our speakers come with a passion for their topics and a genuine desire to help, so let’s all help each other in the pursuit of that life-changing opportunity. And remember, it’s all about what YOU find valuable, so please let us know the subject matter of most interest to YOU.   

 

ALL ARE WELCOME! BRING A FRIEND!

More Information: 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 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.

The Breakfast Club NJ Presents: Conquering Job Transition – A Panel Discussion (w/ US Army Ret. Lt Col. Don Weyler, Ellen Polansky, Haresh Keshwani) Led by Frank Kovacs and Mark Beal

Please share this with other groups you may be in.  Join us on Meetup.com at: http://www.meetup.com/The-Breakfast-Club-NJ/ to RSVP for the meeting.

Presentation: Conquering Job Transition is the third book in trilogy that Mark Beal & Frank Kovacs have authored to help those in Job Search. In this book a unique approach of identifying TBCNJ members by gender, age, level, profession, industry & type of transitions faced were carefully selected to provide a breadth of experiences that are presented through inspirational stories that have insights & lessons learned that will help the reader while leaving them with hope that they too can successfully conquer job transitions. We will have authors from 3 of the chapters on a panel and discuss different aspects of their personal journeys.

About the Speakers:

Frank Kovacs has been a technology business executive for more than 30 years leading and directing large, complex, global operations and transformations for some of the largest Fortune 100 firms as well as NASA.  

Frank has been recognized as recipient of the Gartner CIO Choice Award, Visionary Award from Business Finance Magazine & Internet World, and the Ovation Award at Comnet. Frank was named a visionary for his 12 years of work at AT&T Bell Labs and has a patent for Smart Card Technology.

Following the attacks of September 11, 2001, Frank wanted to help those who lost their jobs due to the tragedy and formed a group, The Breakfast Club NJ (TBCNJ). More than 24 years later, TBCNJ has grown to more than 6,000 members and is the premier job search and career networking group in the New York/New Jersey region. As TBCNJ extensively leverages social media, many of the job posts and career transition advice routinely go viral and TBCNJ has helped more than 9,000 individuals secure jobs all with a “pay-it-forward” volunteer approach.

Frank is very proud to capture many of the learnings from 24 years of leading TCNJ and share them through this book in hopes that even more people will be helped with their respective job search as we all work through the challenges of today’s digital disruption and reskilling.

 For more than 25 years, Mark Beal served as a public relations practitioner and marketer for one of the nation’s leading consumer public relations agencies developing and executing marketing and public relations campaigns for leading companies and brands around such major sports and entertainment properties as the Olympic Games, Super Bowl, World Series, US Open Tennis and The Rolling Stones.

 Today, he collaborates with Gen Z as a full-time professor of practice, communication in the Rutgers University School of Communication and Information. Mark’s ongoing research of Gen Z has led to keynote speeches to the American Marketing Association, Association of National Advertisers (ANA) and the Public Relations Society of America (PRSA)

 It was Mark’s Rutgers students who inspired him to author his first book in 2017, 101 Lessons They Never Taught You In College, which provides tips to college students preparing for their transition to a career. Media and readers nationwide responded so positively to the book that Mark authored 101 Lessons They Never Taught You In High School About Going To College which was published in 2018.

 Mark’s book, Decoding Gen Z: 101 Lessons Generation Z Will Teach Corporate America, Marketers & Media, was published in 2018 and captured the attention of media, marketers and employers nationwide as Gen Zers were starting to become a focus of corporations and brands. In 2020, Mark co-authored Engaging Gen Z with Harvard University student Michael Pankowski. In 2022, Mark authored Gen Z Graduates To Adulthood. Mark’s latest book, ZEO, was published in 2023 as more Gen Zers transitioned from college to their career. The Gen Z books have led to invitations from conferences, corporations, brands, agencies, universities, industry associations and pro sports leagues and teams for Mark to deliver keynote speeches featuring his Gen Z research and insights.

Mark has also co-authored a trilogy of job search/career transition books with Frank Kovacs including Career In Transition, Win The Job & Thrive In A Multigenerational Workplace, and Conquering Job Transition published in 2025.

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.

You step into an elevator. After you, a well-dressed person also enters. You recognize the person as the President of the Company you always wanted to work at. The person hits the 7th floor elevator button and says “hello” to you.

With a well-crated and practiced elevator pitch you sure can.

Please join Marty Latman, FENG Co-Chairman, as he presents “How to Develop a Powerful and Rememberable Elevator Pitch”. During this presentation, Marty will discuss the following things you need to know about an elevator pitch:

1. What it really is and what is its purpose?

Tues Feb 25th, 6:00-8:30pm CT In-Person Meeting on “HOW TO NETWORK TO YOUR NEXT JOB” plus a Round of Networking & access to a presentation recording. This event is limited to the first 75 registrants– our last event sold out within 2 weeks. If you have any problems with registering, just email mgilbert@nsenginc.com immediately. 

Networking” plays a significant role in over 75% of the jobs that are acquired. Unfortunately, it’s also an activity that most job seekers don’t enjoy doing and, consequently, many individuals don’t network very well. Effective networking requires a combination of online research (to identify the individuals) and offline human interaction techniques that engage your audience and provide them with ways in which to help you. It’s a fact that when you are networked into a company, you have a 60% better chance of getting an interview. During this webinar I’ll discuss several techniques that you can apply immediately and I’ll share specific scripts that you can use to turn your network into a sales channel that accelerates your job search.

Here are a few of the topics that I will cover:

– Where most job seekers fail in their networking efforts and why

– How to prepare for networking opportunities

– How to find valuable networking contacts on LinkedIn

– How to make it easier for your network to help you with key introductions

– How to access the “hidden job market” through your network

– How to create advocates inside a company that’s of interest to you.

The presentation will be followed by a round of networking where you will have an opportunity to share your background with other attendees who may be in a position to make valuable introductions into companies that you are targeting. Please bring 10 copies of your handbill or resume with you for this exercise. Each registrant will also receive access to a previous recording of the presentation.

JVS Job-Seekers Virtual Workshop

Acing the Interview

Join us to learn more about behavioral interviewing:

“Tell me a time when you…”. Sound familiar? Behavioral interview questions can often catch you off guard when you aren’t prepared with your example or your story to share with the person interviewing you.

In this interactive workshop, Robin Amster will share tangible tips on how to prepare for these questions for your next interview BEFORE the interview.

In the first part of this workshop you will learn about behavioral interviewing and prepare responses to commonly asked questions. The second part will feature ROLE PLAYS (we said it would be interactive!) that will enable you to bring more confidence to your interviews going forward.

There will be 20 minutes of open networking

with fellow job seekers after the presentation.

The Breakfast Club NJ Presents: Conquering Job Transition – A Panel Discussion (w/ US Army Ret. Lt Col. Don Weyler, Ellen Polansky, Haresh Keshwani) Led by Frank Kovacs and Mark Beal

Please share this with other groups you may be in.  Join us on Meetup.com at: http://www.meetup.com/The-Breakfast-Club-NJ/ to RSVP for the meeting.

Presentation: Conquering Job Transition is the third book in trilogy that Mark Beal & Frank Kovacs have authored to help those in Job Search. In this book a unique approach of identifying TBCNJ members by gender, age, level, profession, industry & type of transitions faced were carefully selected to provide a breadth of experiences that are presented through inspirational stories that have insights & lessons learned that will help the reader while leaving them with hope that they too can successfully conquer job transitions. We will have authors from 3 of the chapters on a panel and discuss different aspects of their personal journeys.

About the Speakers:

Frank Kovacs has been a technology business executive for more than 30 years leading and directing large, complex, global operations and transformations for some of the largest Fortune 100 firms as well as NASA.  

Frank has been recognized as recipient of the Gartner CIO Choice Award, Visionary Award from Business Finance Magazine & Internet World, and the Ovation Award at Comnet. Frank was named a visionary for his 12 years of work at AT&T Bell Labs and has a patent for Smart Card Technology.

Following the attacks of September 11, 2001, Frank wanted to help those who lost their jobs due to the tragedy and formed a group, The Breakfast Club NJ (TBCNJ). More than 24 years later, TBCNJ has grown to more than 6,000 members and is the premier job search and career networking group in the New York/New Jersey region. As TBCNJ extensively leverages social media, many of the job posts and career transition advice routinely go viral and TBCNJ has helped more than 9,000 individuals secure jobs all with a “pay-it-forward” volunteer approach.

Frank is very proud to capture many of the learnings from 24 years of leadingTBCNJ and share them through this book in hopes that even more people will be helped with their respective job search as we all work through the challenges of today’s digital disruption and reskilling.

 For more than 25 years, Mark Beal served as a public relations practitioner and marketer for one of the nation’s leading consumer public relations agencies developing and executing marketing and public relations campaigns for leading companies and brands around such major sports and entertainment properties as the Olympic Games, Super Bowl, World Series, US Open Tennis and The Rolling Stones.

 Today, he collaborates with Gen Z as a full-time professor of practice, communication in the Rutgers University School of Communication and Information. Mark’s ongoing research of Gen Z has led to keynote speeches to the American Marketing Association, Association of National Advertisers (ANA) and the Public Relations Society of America (PRSA)

 It was Mark’s Rutgers students who inspired him to author his first book in 2017, 101 Lessons They Never Taught You In College, which provides tips to college students preparing for their transition to a career. Media and readers nationwide responded so positively to the book that Mark authored 101 Lessons They Never Taught You In High School About Going To College which was published in 2018.

 Mark’s book, Decoding Gen Z: 101 Lessons Generation Z Will Teach Corporate America, Marketers & Media, was published in 2018 and captured the attention of media, marketers and employers nationwide as Gen Zers were starting to become a focus of corporations and brands. In 2020, Mark co-authored Engaging Gen Z with Harvard University student Michael Pankowski. In 2022, Mark authored Gen Z Graduates To Adulthood. Mark’s latest book, ZEO, was published in 2023 as more Gen Zers transitioned from college to their career. The Gen Z books have led to invitations from conferences, corporations, brands, agencies, universities, industry associations and pro sports leagues and teams for Mark to deliver keynote speeches featuring his Gen Z research and insights.

Mark has also co-authored a trilogy of job search/career transition books with Frank Kovacs including Career In Transition, Win The Job & Thrive In A Multigenerational Workplace, and Conquering Job Transition published in 2025.

More Information: 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 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.
