Did you know that there is a Monthly Meeting of ProNet Career Resources coming up on Monday September 23rd? The new location is 231 Live Oaks Blvd (near 17/92 and 436) at Succeed, Inc. It will go from 5:30 to 7:30. Topic: Teresa Walsh from Seminole State will discuss "Re-Inventing the Wheel, taking advantage of Plan B and other options to Re-invent your Career".
This meeting is FREE.
Also, now there are TWO LinkedIn Seminars for Job Seekers coming up? Due to popular demand from job seekers wanting to learn how to use LinkedIn more effectively, I've found 2 venues. September 26th at the College Park Baptist Church, 1914 Edgewater Drive (free resume reviews from 9-10am and Seminar is from 10-noon). On September 30th there will be a Seminar at the library in Lake Mary from 3-5pm. All these events are FREE. Please RSVP to hra246@gmail.com as there is limited seating.

What are the 4 most important parts of an effective job search?
1. A top notch resume that will "float" to the top of the pile on the recruiters' desk.
Replace "objective" with "summary". Make sure your LinkedIn Profile is on the resume below your email address. Are you a Veteran? Say so. Using US Army (for example) doesn't work in a key word search. Any typos? Have you had someone else proof read it?
2. A top notch LinkedIn Profile. The recruiter wants to see you as you "really" are, including a quality headshot. What? You're not on LinkedIn? We will need to fix that!!
3. A cover letter that drives the point home that you qualify for this position (yes, even if the resume doesn't clearly show that you do.....especially for career changers. Need a sample of a high quality cover letter? Email me (hra246@gmail.com) and I'll provide one for you.
4. Your interviewing style, both on the phone and in person. What do we mean by style? Are you confident? Do you smile alot? Do you answer questions that are posed in a Behavioral Based Interview style, using the S.T.A.R. technique? When was the last time you were interviewed? Have you ever had a "mock" interview?
Which of these areas are you deficient in? Which do you need to sharpen up on? Write me at hra246@gmail.com and include your resume. We will address these in a ProNet meeting as well. Need your input though. Ladies and Gentlemen...."step to the plate".....we'll get you "to the trough", now "drink" from it!! In this economy you need to become the aggressor. ProNet can help you....but you need to want it!! Need coaching? Email me and we can discuss your needs. Remember, we are here to help!!
