Meetup for networking, tips & techniques for the job-hunting, career-changing, and soul-searching in all industries.
According to What Color Is Your Parachute?, a job club has a success rate of 84%—that's how many people using ONLY this method of job searching find jobs—compared to the dismal 7% success rate found by blindly sending out resumes.
I want a good job, and if you're reading this, so do you. Let's pool our resources, contacts, time, and support to achieve that goal.

Weekly meeting concept:
Zak N. started these meetups with an eye to sharing his personal experiences and learnings from the author of "What color is your parachute?"
