Strategies to get to talk to the key person in your Job search


Sometimes it is difficult to ID or talk to key people you need to talk to for an effective search. If you believe that people hire people and not emails this is the session for you. As a past skip tracer for a major national collection group, I can tell you how to find folks and talk to them direct!

Recap of HNG Meeting of November 6, 2015


Our 156th meeting had 14 people, this is 12 less than the previous meeting; 4 signed the New Member list. Gil Krispien was our facilitator. There were 3 introduction speeches.

We made a formal presentation of the new Wireless Transmitter/Receiver System to Maureen Belger, Parish Hall Manager. The cost of the system was $549.00, and the sound of the system is incredible.

We had a speaker, Tom Alessi, who talked about "Financial Answers in Career Transition."
This included discussing the following:
* F.A.C.T. – Financial Answers in Career Transition
* Budget & Cash Flow Strategies – “The biggest fight is always about the money”
* Learn how to take control during a career transition
* The more prepared you are now the better off you will be later
* It’s not about your budget, it’s about where you spend your money.
* Financial Planning – “Don’t walk away…Just Run”
* Why doing a financial plan now probably isn’t in your best interest

General Information


The networking group meets in Hopkinton, at St. John the Evangelist Church parish hall. The meeting occurs, from 10 to 12 noon, and will meet the first and third Friday of the month. The parish hall has a capacity for 250 people and there is plenty of parking spaces in the parking lot and on the street. Around the perimeter of the parish hall are rooms to allow us to have focused network groups or for any other purpose we need. We chose the first and third Friday to allow everyone to attend the Acton Networking Group or any other networking group, if they wanted, on the Friday we do not meet.

We will maintain our close affiliation with Acton Networkers by using the same list-server to share information between the groups. Any e-mails specific to the Hopkinton Networking Group (HNG) will be indicated in the subject line either by "Hopkinton Networking Group" or "HNG"; this way anyone attending these meetings will know the e-mail is intended for them.

We will follow the following agenda items:
* Welcome
* Landings (with doughnuts)
* Announcements
* New member introductions
* Needs and Leads
* Speaker(s), Workshop, or Focus Group
* Cleanup

For those new members who give their introductions, this is what we would like to know:
* Name
* Skills and Value Statement
* Where have you been?
* Where are you going?
* Your title
* Your target companies
* Geography of search
* Name and e-mail address

If anyone wants to join our team, please let one of us know; we could always use the extra help and input for ideas.
