Marilyn Road is on the west side of Tatum Blvd. between Thunderbird and Greenway Roads&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;p&gt;Scottsdale Job Network (SJN) is a non-profit community group of business leaders and volunteers. We are not a job placement forum, and we do not match candidates to openings nor do we send resumes to employers or recruiters.

He said he wasnt sure, but didnt think so. I also called three other friends and told them I was looking for work. I asked them that if they heard of anyone who was hiring, would they please let me know. I spent the whole morning on the phone networking. Sound familiar? Most people know what networking isand dont do it OR some think they are networking, but arent doing it correctly. Did you know that 75-80% of jobs are attained through networking? Believe it or notit is true! &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Join us when George Fleming will take you through the steps of the networking process! It is not as difficult as you might think. The best part about networking is that it gives you more control of your job search. Learning to network correctly will change your attitude toward this very important area of the job search process. --- come and find out how!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Thank you,&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.evliving.com/" title="Bill Austin"&gt;Bill Austin&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;h4&gt;Attend our regular meetings to learn more about the &lt;A href="http://www.scottsdalejobnet.com/index.php?s=Job+Search+Process&amp;submit=Search" title="Job Search Process"&gt;Job Search Process&lt;/a&gt; and about &lt;a href="http://www.scottsdalejobnet.com/phoenix-jobs/" title="Phoenix Jobs"&gt;Phoenix Jobs&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/h4&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;p&gt;Meetings are held on the first and third Tuesday mornings:&lt;/p&gt; &lt;br&gt;&lt;p&gt;9-9:30   Networking, resume reviews, contact with recruiters&lt;/p&gt; &lt;br&gt;&lt;p&gt;9:30      Welcome, announcements, introductions&lt;/p&gt; &lt;br&gt;&lt;p&gt;10:00    Speaker begins&lt;/p&gt; &lt;br&gt;&lt;p&gt;11:15    Speaker ends, feedback collected&lt;/p&gt; &lt;br&gt;&lt;p&gt;Networking continues until 11:30&lt;/p&gt; &lt;br&gt;&lt;p&gt;We meet at and use space provided by Temple Chai, 4645 East Marilyn Road, Phoenix, AZ 85032-4839.

We do, however, provide education in the job search process and all attendees have the opportunity to meet and work with people who offer support and guidance during employment transition.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;br&gt;&lt;p&gt;The value of SJN lies in the skills, business networks and personal passions of our members.  Membership is open to everyone willing to share their skills and anyone interested in local networking or in need of employment transition support.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="mailto:info%40scottsdalejobnet.com"&gt;Email:&lt;/a&gt; | &lt;a href="http://www.scottsdalejobnet.com/"&gt;Scottsdale Job Network&lt;/a&gt; | Voice Mail: Phone: (480) 513-1491&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.evliving.com/blog/20080427233/passions-workshop/" title="Scottsdale Job Network"&gt;Scottsdale Job Network&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href=http://william-campbell.blogspot.com/&gt;William Campbell&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href=http://www.scottsdalejobnet.com/sjn/&gt;Scottsdale Job Network&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8698872920193900432-8021334069862127731?l=pauldyksterhouse.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://pauldyksterhouse.blogspot.com/feeds/8021334069862127731/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8698872920193900432&amp;postID=8021334069862127731' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8698872920193900432/posts/default/8021334069862127731'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8698872920193900432/posts/default/8021334069862127731'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://pauldyksterhouse.blogspot.com/2008/04/scottsdale-job-network-sjn-open-house.html' title='Scottsdale Job Network - SJN Open House and Social Mixer'/><author><name>SJN - Scottsdale Job Network</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8698872920193900432.post-7565759258227222193</id><published>2008-04-28T10:40:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2008-04-28T10:40:44.898-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Making Yourself Indispensable At Your Job</title><content type='html'>&lt;h1&gt;Scottsdale Job Network Meeting&lt;/h1&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.scottsdalejobnet.com/phoenix-jobs/" title="Phoenix Jobs"&gt;Phoenix Jobs&lt;/a&gt;&lt;h3&gt;Making Yourself Indispensable At Your Job&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;p&gt;Join us on Tuesday May 6, 2008 as Matt Moran, Business Consultant with http://www.KreativeKnowledge.com offers proactive career ideas that cross industry boundaries - taken from his book, The IT Career Builders Toolkit.
