North Coast Job Seekers is a job search support group for professionals in transition or those who are currently employed but seeking new career options. We provide tools, tips, resources, techniques and networking opportunities to help maximize a job search. If in transition, or want to explore new career options, we encourage attending North Coast Job Seekers meetings.

"North Coast" refers to the geographic region of NE Ohio, particularly the metropolitan Cleveland area (which is on the shores of Lake Erie, hence the "North Coast" of the U.S.). However the resources available here are offered to any who might benefit from them.

NEXT MONDAY NIGHT MEETING:

Monday, September 24, 2018

7:30 - 9:00pm

North Coast Job Seekers Meeting

Presentation: "Resumes: Current Trends"

Speaker: Katherine Burik

Katherine Burik is the founder and owner of The Interview Doctor, helping candidates and employers navigate the job search with a plan, interview coaching, and tools to help people tell their stories and make a great match.

Job search is tough under any circumstances, whether you are the hiring manager or a candidate. You need a combination of inner strength, good skills, and the strategic ability to know what you want and why you should have it. Being pretty good is not good enough.

It is essential to start with the right tools: Career Coaching, Resumes, and LinkedIn. You need to be strategic with a job search. It is “More than a Resume.” You must tie your resume to LinkedIn for effective job search. Then you can create a job search or career marketing plan to grow your career. Using Linked In and networking, you can turn job ads into networking experiences so your search is more than sending off a resume to a black hole. But having that well-crafted resume is essential, and what worked a decade ago won't necessarily work in today's job market. In this presentation we will explore current trends in resumes and offer practical tips and strategies to best position your resume in front of hiring managers.

We look forward to welcoming Katherine to North Coast Job Seekers and learning from her experience. Her LinkedIn profile can be found at Katherine Burik.

PLAN AHEAD - FOLLOWING MEETING:

Monday, October 8, 2018

7:30 - 9:00pm

North Coast Job Seekers Meeting

NETWORKING AND JOB SEARCH "JOYS & CONCERNS"

Job seekers are invited to join with other NCJS members and leaders for constructive networking, job search troubleshooting, sharing what's going well and what is not, and collaborating on job leads.

Networking is part of "Job Search 101," yet many job seekers lack the actual network of "people with connections" during a time of job transition. Networking is one of the cornerstones of North Coast Job Seekers and we are very intentional about providing face-to-face time to explore connections, be introduced to new contacts, discover new opportunities, and share the people resources that YOU have to help another job seeker. Join with other NCJS members for this face-to-face time of constructive networking, job leads, and issue sharing.

NOTE: MEETINGS ARE NOW HELD IN UPSTAIRS ROOM
USE MAIN ENTRANCE AND FOLLOW SIGNS.

North Coast Job Seekers

Career transitions are seldom easy. The many pieces of a job search can be overwhelming, and fitting those pieces together to find your next position can be tricky. North Coast Job Seekers wants to provide support, training, and resources as you go through your job search.

NCJS is a completely volunteer organization bringing together those in job transition with leaders, presenters, resources, and other job seekers. Job seekers themselves bring a multitude of resources to NCJS with knowledge, experience, skills, and professional networks. Together we share a mission to help motivated people succeed through career changes.

North Coast Job Seekers meets in the Gym/Fellowship Hall of Pioneer Memorial Presbyterian Church in Solon, Ohio at 7:30pm on the second and fourth Monday of the month. We actively network, discuss job search issues, and get terrific tips from job search experts. If you are in transition or want to explore new career options, we encourage you to start attending North Coast Job Seekers meetings.
