SUMMARY:THE FENG: General Networking
LOCATION:On Line
DESCRIPTION:Here's the planned agenda:\r\n• Pre-meeting chit-chat and wait time for late arrivals. Housekeeping and announcements – 10 minutes or so.\r\n• 20 Second Commercials – everyone gives his / her pitch. I’ll enforce the time. Get to the point and don’t ramble. 15-20 minutes or so depending on participants.\r\n• Any specific questions or items to share? \r\n• TUTORIAL on new FENG website. Joyce will arrange a 10-15 minute review of our new website including tricks how best to use it. \r\n• I want to use the rest of the time to address each job seeker’s needs (ten to fifteen minutes per person on average). Apologies to the veterans, but I will devote this time to those who need it most. I’ll prioritize to new members and those with long-term job searches. \r\n     o A general comment: I have noted that most people have not sufficiently done their individual assessment and cannot articulate their value proposition well. Also, many think they are networking effectively, but are not. \r\n    o We work on “skills for life:” personal branding, presentation, self-marketing.\r\n    o For those of you who have never been to a Princeton or Monmouth/Ocean meeting, we focus on one individual at a time and start by asking, “What’s going on?” and “How can we help you?”\r\n    o We all learn from each other and this format gives our veterans a chance to help those who are in transition. You get input from everyone.\r\no	 We drill down with feedback that is both constructive, well-intentioned, and tough. One of my veterans has described this as “the discussion you don’t want to have but need too.”\r\n     o Be prepared; our questions can be direct. There is a proven method to our madness. I guarantee we will help guide you through a better and shorter job-search, and you will be more ready for interviews.\r\n     o I figure we can address at least 4-5 people given our time constraints.
