Success # 353 –(11.4.13) Victoria from NhN Westwood and Ridgewood said. “I am thrilled to announce I have returned back to work at my previous employer, KPMG. I'm sending greetings to all, and also, thanks to NhN for such a terrific source of encouragement, support and knowledge sharing.

Stay positive!
Success # 354 –(11.8.13) Nomi from NhN Cranford said. ”Just after the meeting I attended on Oct 23rd I went in for an interview and got a job. It is not my ideal career position but it will help put some money in the bank and keep my family going. I will not be able to attend the meeting tonight because the new job is taking a bit more of my time right now since I have to learn a whole new industry as well as some new responsibilities. So for now I have not set any new goals. However, I do still intend to attend the weekly meetings and continue working toward getting my ideal position. I appreciate what the group has given me so far and I hope to be a productive member going forward.
I heard about the position through a friend of my husband and member of our synagogue. The day he gave me the information I called the contact person and told them about myself. They asked me if I could come in that very day for an interview. I only had a half hour between the time I made the call and the time I arrived for the interview so I didn't have much time to prepare. I walked into the interview and 35 minutes later walked out with the job. I started work the next day. It was quite a whirlwind experience for me. I have never had an experience anything like it.”
Success # 355 – (11.23.13) Nancy from NhN Warren said” Thanks for all you do with the group. I have finally obtained permanent employment after 2-1/2 years of temping.
Success # 356 -(12.1.13) Cathy from NhN Wayne is starting a six month job at the Newark Workforce development authority this week. It is especially rewarding to try to help the people that live in your town. Also, I've met some very talented people all sharing the challenge of finding a job in a difficult economy. Thanks for your efforts supporting the group.
Success # 357 (12.6.13) San-San from NhN Monmouth Co said.” I just got accepted by AT&T for a contract position. Well, all jobs are temporary, transition is permanent. Thank you so much for all the support and help. Please stay in touch.

Our leaders tend to land at a higher rate than the members, this is due to the fact that they are stepping up and taking on this responsibility, which is a great item on your resume and your LinkedIn Group., and the second and very important fact is that they attend meetings every week.
The current job search market I really difficult and one must work hard at it and must find ways to expand your network to help you land a job. Today all jobs come from networking. Many companies do not even post jobs “ the hidden Job market” due to their desire to avoid the deluge of resumes. Many jobs see 800-1000 resumes submitted when a job is posted. While we have over 1200 members of NhN we do know that about 25% of they follow the program and implement the concepts we talk about every week at meetings.
Only a serious and concentrated effort to find a job will bring success in today’s market.
We also know that unfortunately jobs are more short term so even when our members and leaders land it is wise to stay up to date on your skills and networking.
We are always looking for new members and volunteers to help facilitate our weekly meetings. Please contact me if you are interested in being training on our program.
Our LinkedIn group is a great networking tool and our web site has very valuable information.
