North Coast Job Seekers Meeting
Job Search
Troubleshooting Roundtable
We've all been there in our job searches... those times when we hit a speedbump or roadblock and need help talking it through. We have discovered in our virtual NCJS meetings that in addition to networking, some of our most valuable time is when we bring our issues to the group and ask for troubleshooting help. This meeting is a Roundtable of Experts -- ALL of us helping one another.
• Troubleshooting Help
• Tools & Tips
• Resource Sharing
• Networking
We will make the best use of this face-to-face time to help one another in a roundtable format. We will always have members of the community who have extensive experience, including our facilitators and board members. All are welcome and all are encouraged to seek input for solving those speedbumps and roadblocks.

Networking and the Job Search
Speaker: Christopher Gentry
Christopher Gentry became interested in this topic when his position was eliminated in 2003. At the time, his company provided him "outplacement services." Through this experience, he was introduced to the world of networking, job search groups, and techniques he had never heard of, all of which have helped him stay employed.
