I am not one to wait for the ‘Mountain’ to come to me!

Landing for a full-time job in today’s economic environment is challenging. I guess you already know this. Interestingly, if you have a job, you’re probably working like a slave. We all have crosses to bare.
During my seven month job search, I have tried old tricks and a few new tricks to land a job. Seems as though I’ve tried to all. I’d do the hokey pokey if it’d help. I’m not one to give up because opportunities come to those who take action. Sitting on my hands is not an option.
In keeping with my philosophy, I’ve launched an new venture, People-2-People — A JobSeekers Meetup. My MeetUp leverages the job seeking skills and knowledge of its members to help group members land a job.
I am confident that so long as I push the ‘job search’ envelope I will land a great position. Also, I’ll have gained new skills that’ll help me rise above the rest.

Person-2-Person — Job Seekers MeetUp
Person-2-Person is a “group member” led MeetUp to help its members land employment positions in today’s tough employment
environment.
Our informal meetings will be filled with fun, information swapping, job search war stories, member led discussions, resume tips,
networking techniques and other useful job search techniques and strategies.
Today’s job market is tight. Information is power. Since Person-2-Person is a member led club, active participation amongst our members
is critical to the clubs success. Person-2-Person is for you if you are a professional or you are attempting to land your first professional
