We work hard to get interviews and often it is multiple layers, with recruiters, Talent Acquisition, hiring manager, and or team members in any combination. Interviewing effectively with all/most is critical, virtually, and of course, in-person. This 60+ minute interactive workshop will help you understand your style and determine who you are dealing with to apply versatility for success. Research has shown that the model we will be using is the easiest to apply and most effective back on the job… and it is fully applicable in your personal life as well. This has actively been used for people in recruitment/talent acquisition to also help match candidates with hiring managers for success. Come prepared to be fully engaged and ready to learn things within 60+ minutes that have positively changed peoples’ views and skills, personally and professionally.

WEDNESDAY, DEC. 11, 2024 FROM 7:00P – 9:00P, HILLSDALE CAREER NETWORKING GROUP – – “NETWORKING DURING THE HOLIDAYS”.
THE SEASON is HERE! It’s CHRISTMAS and HANUKKAH and all the greatest HOLIDAYS abound! Let’s make this last month of 2024 SPECTACULAR, GRATIFYING and FUN!
On Wednesday, December 11th, starting at 7:00p to 9:00p, the Hillsdale Career Networking Group will be meeting at The Saint John’s Parish Center in Hillsdale, New Jersey. Join us and BRING A FRIEND. ……..do not forget the Christmas cookies ! Ho-Ho-Ho!
We have a wonderful speaker this month and I’m sure a lot of you know him from so many network meetings, Mr. Marty Latman, to show us the way to “NETWORK DURING THE HOLIDAYS”……and he doesn’t need reindeer to show us the way.
There is a widespread misconception that the holiday season, from Thanksgiving through the first weeks into the New Year, is the worst time of the year to be active in a job search. According to this view, most senior managers who hire have their minds on other things like a Holiday vacation or other holiday activities with their families. Though these issues do affect some hiring managers, they do not influence most senior executives. Marty Latman discusses why this time of year is the best time of the year to job hunt and provides you with examples to help you improve your networking techniques. Marty is innovative, has a great sense of humor, joyous in what he does for others, and we are honored to have him with us for our December holiday meeting. Bring a friend, spouse, college grad or whoever would like to see our group.
Janelle Razzino will be on hand to discuss the 2 HOUR SESSION and the 3-Week accelerated success program. WE are in full swing. It’s fun and fast and a great time to ramp up on techniques, knowing what the company wants to know about “who you are”, getting “un-stuck” in your search, get your confidence back, how to answer those interviewing questions, acquiring the leads and contacts you need and so much more. Your resume may need a facelift or a refresh. Let Janelle help you Get IT DONE, Get IT RIGHT!
The group leaders are John F. Carvelli, Janelle Razzino and Gary Gabaccia. John and Janelle are both parishioners at St. John’s. Janelle is an Executive Recruiter located in Westwood, New Jersey and Gary is a former Recruiting Leader for IBM and a parishioner at Our Lady Mother of the Church. This is a job search networking group that is suitable for everyone in transition. The group will discuss networking, landing the job on the first interview, new ideas for resume campaigns, identifying target companies, changing careers and a whole host of other topics. The group will meet on the second Wednesday of every month in the Sheen Room of the Parish Center.
We will present guest speakers on such topics 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 that you think would benefit from joining us. Or, better yet, just bring them with you! Everyone is welcome, and each month we try to cover a range of topics suitable to anyone in transition, including networking, resume preparation, interviewing and 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.
Networking will begin at 6:30 if you would like to get a jump start on connecting with members that will be attending during our “speed dating.” We will also have a raffle, good food, and some other exciting surprises for the event. Please bring copies of your resume(s) and business cards to exchange with others. Bring your great and positive attitude. Refreshments will be served.
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.
