There's a lot of info out there on how to be a better networker, be it online or in person. But let's face it, the goal for those who are unemployed is to meet as many people as possible, so that we increase the chances of meeting that one person who can help get us that job.
Ever hear of "speed dating" types of events for singles, where people spend just a few minutes with everyone in the room? That's the idea here. It doesn't take long to figure out whether you can help someone or whether someone can help you. And even if there is a "match", it's still possible that's not your only one in the room. The goal: spend a few minutes with everyone else in attendance, and hopefully meet a few people that you can help or vice versa.

We realize that at this time of year people are pretty busy, but we're going to go ahead and do this anyway. Hopefully the turnout will be beneficial for everyone!
The key thing to note here is that the December Meetup is taking place on THURSDAY night, Dec 3, rather than the usual Wednesday, due to a scheduling conflict. We are still meeting at Holy Trinity at 7, as usual. Read more
