SJN - Scottsdale Job Network

HOW OUR MEETINGS ARE RUN

Our meetings are opportunities for networking, learning new job seeking skills, and working with people who genuinely care about you and your job search. Arrive at 9:00 a.m. to start networking with others in the room, including job seekers, supporters from the business community, recruiters, hiring managers and volunteers.

At 9:30, the meeting facilitator welcomes everyone and shares information on the program.  We ask for announcements, and hear from “former” job seekers who accepted a job offer.
 
The highlight of our meetings is a guest speaker – always interesting and informative!  Speakers share their experience and insight engaging the job seekers in an interactive session involving different job seeking skills and techniques.  We wrap up with feedback and announcement of the next meeting.

Generally, the time is managed as follows:

9-9:30    Registration, resume reviews and networking
9:30       Welcome, announcements, Accelerated Networking
10:00     Short break
10:10     Speaker begins
11:25     Speaker ends, feedback collected
             Networking continues until 11:45

At our meetings you have the opportunity to meet others, share your needs and get individual attention from the guest speaker and other professionals attending the meeting.  Often connections are made and individual support is given as requested or required by the job seeker.  What sets our meetings apart are the special connections you’ll make and the personal help you’ll receive that will help you in your job search, and more.
