Partnership with North Coast Job Seekers

11

We are pleased to announce an exciting evolution of the ‘Recession Proof Your Career’ group. Effective Sept 1, PMINEO will be partnering with North Coast Job Seekers (NCJS) – a newly formed organization that is focused on career advancement for all professions in the NE Ohio area.

NCJS has a diverse and engaged Advisory Board who are committed to becoming the premier job seeker network / support organization in NE Ohio. NCJS provides tools, tips, resources, techniques, and networking opportunities through dynamic speakers – to help job seekers maximize their job searches.

This alignment brings many benefits to PMINEO members: n  Access to a larger network, enhancing the opportunities to make connections and find

opportunities in fields not normally represented at RPYC meetings. n  Direct contact with HR professionals to gain the inside track on hiring practices and tips. n  Increased frequency of meetings doubles networking opportunities, leading to personal

and professional development with a focus on job seeking. n  Larger group will draw higher quality speakers. n  Publicity and branding outside the ‘traditional circle’ of PMINEO members. n  Additional volunteer opportunities within NCJS.

NCJS meets twice a month on the 2nd and 4th Monday from 7:30-9:00pm at the Pioneer Memorial Presbyterian Church (35100 Solon Road, Solon, OH 44139).

October Meeting…

Topic: Today’s Strategies for a Satisfying Career

Speaker: Dr. Sunny Lurie

Date: Thursday, October 16, 2014

Location: Progressive Insurance 300 North Commons Blvd Mayfield Village, OH 44143

If you’re looking to advance into a more satisfying career, you’ll need the latest proven strategies in identifying strengths, networking, social media, and launching a career. According to a survey by Gallup, an astonishing 72 percent of American workers are not engaged in their work and do not feel they are reaching their full potential in their career.

Dr. Lurie says, “I’m obsessed with helping people pursue work that’s fulfilling. We each have greatness inside-- find it, focus on it, feed it. You have so much to offer. Don’t stay stuck in an unhappy career. I help people get excited about their work.”
