Making Yourself Indispensable At Your Job

Matt Moran, Business Consultant http://www.KreativeKnowledge.com, will offer proactive career ideas that cross industry boundaries - taken from his book, “The IT Career Builder’s Toolkit.”

Matt’s presentation will address the attitudes and aptitudes to help you have maximum impact on your job. Learn pragmatics like simple organization and time management, how to self-promote without hype, and how to position yourself as the go-to resource for ideas and projects. Matt will also share a simple flow chart to deal with criticism - even when delivered unconstructively; why your job title is not your role, and how to verbalize and identify your value to the organization.

NEXT MEETING: TUES, AUG 21

Jobing.com’s Holly Schor, Community Relations Manager for the East Valley, is joining us at the SJN meeting on Tuesday, 8/21.  Holly is planning to videotape at the meeting, and capture members who she approaches to speak about SJN.  The video will be used to feature SJN on the Jobing.com website–which will help market the group in the community.

Along with Holly Schor, these great SJN supporters will be with us on Tuesday: Recruiters with openings!
Martha Rockwell, resume reviewer (9-9:30)

Exploring the Opportunities of Franchise Ownership Advantages

Advantages and pitfalls of franchise ownership are addressed as well as “hot” trends, myths, investment and income expectations and how to evaluate the over 2000 franchise businesses available in the market today. Ms. Moser is a firm believer that “fit” is the most important aspect of identifying the best business opportunities for any individual.
