Savvy job seekers know the benefits of maintaining momentum in their job search throughout the holiday season, discovering new personal and professional networking opportunities, thanks to an increase in online and in person events. Take advantage of this time to connect and reconnect with people in a festive, relaxed setting. Tony will discuss how to prepare for and maximize the value of such interactions.

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.
