Frequently
Asked Questions
WHY SHOULD JOBSEEKERS
NETWORK WITH OTHER JOBSEEKERS?
If
you’re looking for a job, you probably think of other jobseekers within your
profession as your competitors, and you’re right, they are; however; when you
attend a speed networking event with them, they can be extremely instrumental in
your landing a job. To find out how they can assist you, click

HOW CAN I OBTAIN A "LIST OF EVENTS"? To

Events"
.
WHERE ARE EVENTS HELD? Events are held at restaurants, hotels, and
other public venues in your area.
WHAT DO EVENTS INCLUDE? All events include (structured speed networking time; open
floor time to mingle; complimentary hors d' oeuvres; with cash bar
available).
HOW MANY PEOPLE WILL I MEET?
You
can expect 24 to 50-Total Attendees at most events; and you can expect to meet
approx. 18 to 24-New Contacts during the speed networking segment of most events.
WHAT IS SPEED NETWORKING?
Speed Networking is similar to speed dating. When you attend a networking
event, you'll have
4-minutes to speak with another attendee before a bell is rung, then you'll move
on to the next attendee; whom you'll also have 4-minites to speak with until the
bell is rung again, then you'll move on to the next attendee. (This format is
repeated 18 to 24-times during the speed networking segment of the event; giving all
attendees approx. 18 to 24-New Contacts for the evening.
It's fast, it's fun, takes a bit of stamina, and is a very effective method to building your network.
DO I HAVE TO SHARE MY
PERSONAL CONTACT INFO. AT THE EVENT?
No, attendees have the option of (sharing or withholding) all personal and
contact information at events, with the exception of a name tag.
ARE RESUMES REQUIRED? Resumes
are NOT required to attend events; bring them, or any other printed material to
hand out is at your discretion. Please note: Having copies of a resume, or at
least a brief bio including: 1) Your current networking objective. 2) What
assistance you may have to offer others. 3) Business Card, is great to have on
hand to quickly give to those you wish to network with, because during speed
networking your time will be limited.
