“Thank you! I find the 905 South meetings and relationships very useful. This is the only job-seeker networking group I carve out time to attend. You've made it easy for all of use attendees to roll up our sleeves and give, not just get. Kind regards, Charlie”

(Roadmap, Recommendations, and guidelines)

I pay it forward; I will give as much as I take I share leads and tips with other 905’ers, I have a commitment to other 905’ers I take care of myself mentally, physically and spiritually I prepare and stick to my “Action Plan” as I am now running my own business of ‘selling myself’. I grieve my old job, but then move forward, seeking assistance if needed I network both on line more importantly in person; I will meet ____contacts / week (as 70+% of all jobs are “hidden” or not publically advertised) I attend outside functions I post jobs, questions, articles and suggestions to 905’s LinkedIn group, I ask for referrals and search and use the LinkedIn group as a resource I attend 905 and other networking groups, I have generic business cards made (Vistaprint.com ?) I volunteer in the community and volunteer to guest moderate 905 I have narrowed down what I am looking for and I am specific, not a generalist (Vague is the plague, specific is terrific) I seek training, education and possible government jobs assistance Funding Timeline: I will consider a “C”(cash) job and work into a ‘B” or my “A” job I keep a current list of 5 -15 appropriate targets that I have researched and followed up with I practice and prepare for telephone, Skype (video conference) and in person interviews
