Blog Post: 9/18 Matt Moran's Visit to SJN

We were also given a short presentation by Karen England and Al Walsh, Gould Intelligent LLC, www.gouldintelligent.com on the role of the recruiter in the job search. 

Read feedback offered by some participants in answer to the question, "What did you like best about the meeting?"

Job seekers, employers and recruiters are welcome to join us for our NEXT MEETING:  OCT 2

Presenting: 

Conversational Rituals

How can we overcome frustrations and avoid misunderstandings that result from gender differences in conversational style?  When conversational rituals are not understood, we tend to interpret them literally = misinterpreting the speakers intentions and abilities.  In every office, no matter what part of the world, and no matter what kind of business, there's one activity without which no work could ever get done ...... Talking.  In any job search, effective talking at an interview can result from knowing conversational style to apply whether the interviewer is a man or woman.  

Happy Networking!
