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. There is no guarantee of employment either directly through this group or as a result of association with SJN. 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.

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.

I called a friend of mine, John, and asked him if there was an opening at his company. 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!

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!

Interview Questions

2008-05-08T09:54:00.001-07:00

Interviewing Skills are critical to the job search process and Scottsdale Job Nework members are encouraged to practice informational interviews, networking interviews, telephone interviews and face to face interviews including individual interviews, panel interviews and behavioral interviews.

Sample Interview Questions for practice by job seekers, hiring managers, employers and recruiters.

Use these examples of common questions used during interviews to practice your interviewing skills. You can write out your answer, leave it here as a comment, or practice with a friend or colleague.

Would you be willing to relocate if required?

You should be clear on this with your family prior to the interview if you think there is a chance it may come up. Do not say yes just to get the job if the real answer is no. This can create a lot of problems later on in your career. Be honest at this point and save yourself future grief.

What is your management style?

You should know enough about the company's style to know that your management style will complement it. Possible styles include: task oriented (I'll enjoy problem-solving identifying what's wrong, choosing a solution and implementing it"), results-oriented ("Every management decision I make is determined by how it will affect the bottom line"), or even paternalistic ("I'm committed to taking care of my subordinates and pointing them in the right direction").

A participative style is currently quite popular: an open-door method of managing in which you get things done by motivating people and delegating responsibility.

As you consider this question, think about whether your style will let you work hatppily and effectively within the organization.

Passions Workshop Rescheduled

Job seeker Seminar - Finding Your Passion

Putting it to Work.

Join us on Tuesday May 27, 2008 for a special workshop for job seekers titled "Exploring Your Passion Putting It To Work"

NOTE: THE DATE FOR THIS WORKSHOP WAS RECENTLY CHANGED FROM TUES, APR 29, 2008.

NEW DATE: TUES, MAY 27

9 AM - 4 PM at Temple Chai

4645 E. Marilyn Road

Phoenix, AZ 85032-4839

Description

Do you love what you do? If youre one of those lucky ones who can answer a resounding Yes! to this question, then this seminar is not for you. But, if youre not, then youve probably asked yourself if theres a job or career out there thats a better match than what youve experienced - one that can be more satisfying and have more meaning in your life - and how you might go about finding it.

This workshop is designed to help people who have asked themselves those questions. Job seekers often limit themselves to what they have always done because it was the career that defined them for many years. They tend to lose sight of their many gifts, interests, strengths, and wealth of skills developed through life experience. This workshop utilizes proven tools to help individuals identify their strengths, talents and preferences - what theyre basically good at and really enjoy doing, and can prove to be useful in opening up job search options.

Presenter

Maria Wojtczak has 20+ years of organization development (OD) experience and worked with a wide range of organizations. She has worked with Chris Vicari, Director of the Scottsdale Job Network, offering the Passions workshop and Job Transition workshops for the last five years. She currently serves on the SJN Board and is a member of the Curriculum Development committee. Maria is a graduate of the University of Michigan. She is also the owner of DrivingMBA, a driver tutoring facility here in the valley http://www.drivingmba.com

Seating is limited to 30 participants and there is a minimum enrollment of 12 participants to run the workshop. Because SJN provides assessment booklets, binder and printed materials, there is a fee of $25 for this event. To register and make payment: http://www.eventbrite.com/event/106918797

Maricopa County Board of Supervisors' Auditorium

205 West Jefferson, Downtown Phoenix

This month AZIGG is featuring an important perspective from John Barry of the Phoenix-Mesa Gateway Airport on how Arizona is competing for global business. Learn how local developments can help you grow your business.

Have you noticed that Arizona doesn't have a port? That we started realizing how important global business is a few years behind the leaders? That our economy may still be too dependent on real estate?

Is Arizona doomed because we came to the table late, don't have direct access to international ports and don't have enough direct international air connections?

John Barry of Phoenix-Mesa Gateway Airport will shed light on these important questions. He'll update us on what's happening and piece it all together for us, and hopefully find some hope for Arizona Business.

Self-Promotion: IS IT THE missing ingredient in your job search?

Some of the most highly-paid and powerful people did not attain their positions by being the most technically competent. They did it through purposeful self-promotion. Some people are natural promoters. They are born with the instinct to self-promotion. For others, often the most loyal, motivated and deserving self-promotion is emotionally difficult. They are rendered invisible by a spirit-crushing condition called fear of self-promotion. You will learn the three keys to visibility management in your job search.

Guest speaker, Connie Kadansky, is the President of Exceptional Sales Performance, LLC an international consulting and performance improvement practice. She is a nationally recognized expert in identifying and eliminating Sales Call Reluctance. Call Reluctance can neutralize any career.
