When things get quiet
Every once in a while, things get quiet. There is no email (except for our newsletter), and there are no phone calls or Zoom meetings to attend.
If you are actively looking for work, it can be a maddening experience.
Instead of sitting with your hands folded on your desk, this is a good time to visit our website.
After you sign in, go to Resources, Documents Library. Here you will find some very useful items to download.
1. Resume Review Guidelines. This document was created by our Resume Review Committee Co-Chairs, Lew Bader and Cheri Phillips. This alone should keep you pretty busy.
2. 90 Second Announcements. This document was created by Peggy Bud (a noted communications expert) based on my best advice given during meetings of the Westport Chapter.
3. Networking Tips from Peggy Bud.
4. Killer Candidate Questions.
5. Trick Interview Questions.
Next go to: Resources, Video Resources.
Under “Chat with Matt” you will find two new videos:
