Just a quick note to let you know that our own Dan Lenhart, Assoc. Director, will be our guest speaker for the July Meeting. Dan is an HR professional and has been on both sides of the fence in the job search process. Dan will speak on "How to Navigate the Telephone Interview."
Just a reminder that though St. Mary sponsors the St. Mary Job Search Support Group, it is open to anyone that would like to attend regardless of parish or religious denomination. We are a job knowledge and networking group and work to deliver value to all of our attendees!

A Big Thanks and Looking Ahead!
I want to thank all of you who attended our May Meeting. Our guest speaker was not able to make it but I thought Linda Cella did an outstanding job given the last minute change!
One of the things I had hoped would happen and did was more peer to peer interaction with the group. My apologies for having gotten away from that important part of the meeting. Moving forward time will be put aside for peer to peer discussion.
I mentioned that a friend of mine, Super Julie Braun has company called Super Interns. I mentioned Super Interns in the meeting last night. I spoke to Super Julie today and she plans to share more details of how her intern program could benefit you.
I'm not sure when I'll get the information as Julie's calendar is beyond crazy over the next two weeks. When I do get the information, I will post it here and send an email blast to our members. Stay tuned!

Interesting Job Search Article - May Meeting Information
Greetings!
There was an excellent article in the CT Post on Sunday titled "Relearning how to find a job in the digital age."
If you did not see it or have a change to read it, here is the link...

Our next meeting will be on Tuesday May 20 at 7:30 pm. Our guest speaker will be Kathlene Gerrity who owned her own recruiting firm and will talk about the job search from the recruiters perspective.
At 6 pm, I'll lead a 30 minute work shop on how to set-up a Referral system for a job search. It will be along the lines of the workshop I gave in March.

April Meeting Information
Greetings!
Our next meeting is Tuesday April 15 at 7:30 in the St Mary Milford Rectory basement meeting room.
The regular meeting will begin at 7:30 p.m. Al Tonry will be our guest speaker and his topic is commission based jobs. Al has over two decades of experience in hiring, training and working with people in commission based jobs.
Commission based jobs aren't always the ideal alternative but can sometimes be the only real opportunity. Al will give us his insights!
At 7 p.m. for you early birds, I will be giving a short workshop on relational side of the job search, much like I did in February if you attended that meeting.
Remember if you are having a bad day on the job search, do one thing that will move you forward and never stop trying...

March Meeting + Workshop
Greetings!
Our next meeting will be on Tuesday March 18.
Our guest speaker is scheduled to be Xavier Gordon from the Conn Dept Labor. I've been told by those that have attended his workshops that he is amazing! I've spoken to Xavier and can easily see why people would have that opinion. He is passionate about what he does.
Xavier was originally scheduled to be our guest in December, then January then February. Mother Nature had other ideas as we were snowed out all three months so say your prayers that she doesn't sneak a mid March surprise snow storm on us!
I am going to give a 45 minute workshop on putting together a Referral Program starting at 6:45for anyone that might like to arrive early and participate in the workshop.
Thanks for visiting!

Tonight's Meeting CANCELLED!
CANCELLED! CANCELLED! CANCELLED! CANCELLED!
Our meeting tonight (Tuesday 18 February) is cancelled.
Our meeting tonight (Tuesday 18 February) is cancelled.
As a general rule, when St Mary School is closed, which it is today, meetings in the parish are canceled. I don't think it is a good idea to meet on a day like today anyway. So mother nature has scored her hat trick as they say in hockey, this being the third straight meeting that has been cancelled due to weather.
I will see if I can find the space and time for a make-up meeting I will give a workshop on referrals. Most people can get referrals from people they know, the challenge is to get a sustained flow of referrals over time long after you've exhausted your supply of friends, family and acquaintances.
Xavier Gordon has put us on his calendar for our March 18 meeting and Al Tonry who was suppose to speak tonight has put us on his calendar for our April 15 meeting. Get your taxes in the mail before our meeting in April. :)
Take care,
Andy
