SAFETY of all is a priority.
As visitors attend SJN meetings at Temple Chai, we ask that vehicles enter from Marilyn Road approaching the property from the eastern most driveway at the “Temple Chai Entrance” sign, and then exit onto Acoma.  In the parking lot, follow the large arrows painted on the pavement to ensure a safe flow of traffic.  Keep the speed low and watch for pedestrians, including school children, crossing the parking lot. 
Thank you!

SEPTEMBER EVENTS

Interviewing Workshop
Tues, September 9, 2008, 8:30 AM – 11 AM

Sharpen Your Interviewing Skills with Phoenix Executives & Recruiters

Plan to join us for our first Interviewing Workshop! This program is designed to help job seekers practice their interviewing skills and get advice and feedback from local executives and recruiters. NOTE: this is not a job fair, however it is a great networking opportunity.

Meeting: Tues, September 16, 2008, 9 AM – 11:30 AM

Creating Your Vision and Personal Marketing Plan

Having a vision and creating a personal marketing plan is one of the best ways to start a job search or career transition. Assessing your skills inventory, deciding who you want to “dance” with and considering whether to relocate are addressed in this thought-provoking presentation. This program will offer insights and guide you to develop a personal marketing strategy and a tactical plan for getting visibility.

Evening Networking: Mon, September 22, 2008 – 7 PM – 9 PM

SJN will be practicing social networking in two forms: first online and then as a mixer. Bill Austin will spend the first hour demonstrating the LinkedIn platform focusing on the how-to’s. It should be noted that Bill Austin is not a certified or accredited trainer, not associated with LinkedIn, and LinkedIn is a trademark. After Bill’s presentation, we’ll have open networking, socializing and light refreshments. Should be a fun time! We’ll expect many of our working members to join us for this evening event.

For programs through November, see SJN Curriculum
