UPCOMING MEETINGS

September 11, 2010 @ 9:45AM to 11:45AM 

My Career Transitions Presents 

Topic: Speed Networking!

Location:   Penn State, Brandywine Campus, Commons Bldg., 2nd Flr.

You must Register for this event

For our September meeting, we are excited to be holding our first full networking meeting. During the first part of the meeting, you will have the opportunity to meet individuals with your area of expertise as we break down our large group into smaller groups. In the second half of our meeting, we will hold a speed networking workshop, where you will have the opportunity to speak with 10-12 people during the session. We encourage you to come prepared with a Value proposition or an Elevator speech for effective networking. Value propositions and elevator statements are brief summaries about the type of work you are passionate about and the value you bring to an organization.

First Session:

This will be a freeform format, where you will have the opportunity to interact freely with people within your area of expertise and related functions, such as Sales/Business Development, HR/Training/ Education, Scientific/Engineering and other groups. You can meet and share any information about recent events, trends, or networking opportunities.

Second Session:

During this workshop you will be given the opportunity to put your learnings about networking into practice. Speed networking is a series of brief, yet meaningful introductions where two individuals will be paired up and have the opportunity to introduce themselves and speak for about 3 minutes each. After time is up, the participants will move onto the next person and to new introductions. After the session is over, you will have had the opportunity to speak with approximately 8-12 people.

Many Thanks to our host, Penn State Brandywine in Media for providing our meeting space!
