Join us every 3rd Thursday at the Mason's building downtown Wheaton (120 W. Wesley) to learn advanced networking tactics, while Job Seekers find leads, Job Givers (employers) share jobs, and everyone builds their network for current, and future career advancement.

This monthly networking group is free to attend, and relevant for people from all industries and job types.

Each presenter will close each meeting with an exercise for the attendees to use with each other after leaving to help strengthen their networks. This is a very real opportunity to build a trusted network in your community!

August 17th Topic: How to CONNECT Strategically through Phone Calls and Follow Up
Presenter: Laura Cognato. Laura is a former member of www.SpeedUpMyJobSearch.com who was between positions for more than a year, was changing careers, and hadn’t been on a single interview in more than a year. Throughout her life, Laura successfully changed careers. Two years ago, she had doubts if her luck would hold out when faced with the "FourFecta" of job search hurdles. After changing her approach, she interviewed with 16 companies and got 3 job offers within 90 days. Laura will share a strategy you can use to successfully "Connect", and land your dream job. She will share specifically how she did it and help you apply her tactics directly to your search.
