"Natural Networking: Making People Your Priority"

Hear career coach and motivating, entertaining speaker, Jody Eriksen present focused and personal solutions to remove the blocks that keep job seekers from meaningful networking.

Come on Tuesday, January 25th, 7:00pm, to the Employment Ministry meeting in the St. Mary Immaculate Parish Faith Sharing Room at 15629 S. Route 59 in Plainfield. There is no cost to attend; pre-registration is not required and everyone is welcome.

Jody insists you can be a "natural" at networking by building your understanding, skills, and confidence in making "people connections.” Her positive and "soft sell" approach will help you develop simple and powerful strategies that will open doors and create opportunities. You will broaden your search possibilities and leverage your existing networks with ready to go scripts, easy conversation starters, and specific tools and ideas for elevating a casual opportunity into a networking success story!

If you are new to networking, come for a 6:30 pm introduction to networking tools like the Handbill and the Elevator Speech.

Volunteer Employment Ministry coaches (each an experienced hiring manager) are also available for a one-on-one work session to get your resume and handbill reviewed, develop networking or interviewing skills, or talk with a person who cares about your spiritual/emotional/financial help needs.
