I'm here, I swear!!

Finally got a laptop so I can keep this page constantly updated!

Tomorrow morning I will be at GraceWorks networking and enjoying some much needed human-interaction!

If you haven't heard about GraceWorks it is a weekly meetup for "career transition support for unemployed and underemployed professionals of the San Francisco Bay Area." And has been enormously helpful in my search and how I approach people while searching for a job.

Here is what will be happening tomorrow morning-

Success Teams-Facilitated by Robb Anderson & Jim Dowling

Date:	Monday September 14, 2009
Time:	8:30 am - 11:00 am
Location:	Grace Cathedral - Wilsey Room

School¹s back in session! With Labor Day in the rear view mirror it¹s a good
time to polish up the job search skills and to partner with hardworking
others in order to hit the ground running for the fall hiring season. On
Monday GraceWorks will have two members presenting on topics vital to
raising the level of your effectiveness in the job search.

Jim Dowling will lead the group on a collaborative excursion into developing
an elevator pitch that you will want to hang your hat on. He will devote
extended time to drafting (with small group support) an elevator pitch that
is punchy, concise and compelling. Then you¹ll get to share your spiffy new
pitch with others. It will be great fun!

For the second half of the presentation Geoff Wing, our resident success
team specialist, will facilitate a discussion and Q&A focused on best
practices and next steps for those looking to expand their efforts and start
a success team.

It promises to be a value packed day, rich with community involvement,
practice time and networking opportunities. See you on Monday!


Be there tomorrow morning at 8:30 AM!
