Members are expected to hold each other accountable at weekly (virtual) meetings for conducting a job search in earnest. Historically, the team has enjoyed a very high rate of "landings" by those conducting an active and vigorous job search. Based on the Lee-Hecht-Harrison model, it's more of a project management team made up of people committed to helping each other in the job search. By attending regularly and staying focused on key tasks, meetings serve as an advisory panel that knows you and your search and can offer answers to the questions that come up in job hunting. Help others to help you (especially for the first few meetings) by having a prepared "elevator pitch" to introduce yourself. Jobs open up because there's a problem to solve or a need to fill. Please contact Beth Berkenfeld at bberk2@optonline.net or 201-797-4342 if interested in joining the group. The WNO (Westchester Networking Organization) meets the third Monday of each month.

Age discrimination is described as “treating an applicant or employee less favorably because of his or her age." The Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA) forbids age discrimination against people who are age 40 or older.

But the reality, also, is that it’s still possible, and likely, that you will find an opportunity based on your great knowledge and experience that you’ve gained throughout your career, it just might take a little longer. This talk will focus on helping you minimize the chance that age will be an issue while showing you how to maximize the benefits that come with experience. You’ll also learn how to identify when the hidden objection of age comes up and how to handle it including:

Members of the Tri-State Transition Community:
Listed below is my last message regarding upcoming transition support meetings. Unfortunately, I have been hacked numerous times in the near term by someone who has stolen my LinkedIn account, and now impacting my Internet connection and livelihood. Obviously, this cannot be allowed to continue forever unchecked. Ten year ago, when I was in transition, I started preparing this list for myself, on a much smaller scale, as a way of keeping track of the meetings I was interested in attending. I shared this list with a few of my friends, who shared it with a few of their friends, and it grew for there. When I finally landed, I was not sure if there would be enough hours left in the day for me to continue preparing this list. A good friend of mine, Alex Freund, asked me to try to keep sending the list out because so many individuals did not know where to turn to for help. Well, ten years later, I am glad that I was able to pay it forward and help so may individuals find the support that would teach them how to prepare for and compete for a job. I will be forever grateful to all the transition support groups, the numerous speakers and career coaches at these meetings who helped me in my time of need. It is with a heavy heart that I am reluctantly discontinuing publication of my weekly Transition Support newsletter, but it is something I must do to prevent further damage to my personal life. I thank everyone for your kind words of appreciation over the years, it truly meant a lot to me and made preparing the list ever week most rewarding. Thanks again, I wish all of you the very best going forward. Sincerely, Tom Donohue A83td@aol.com |
