We had a presentation about insurance alternatives in January of 2009. A copy of the presentation can be downloaded here, and there is addtional information I complied in a Word document you can download here.

Our group had a special event for job seekers in April, 2009, and two of the speakers provided files for us. NOTE: Scroll down in each handout and you will find a tremendous amount of information.

Donna Fedor's Handout

Rebecca Keiler's Handouts: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7

Jenny Kahn, PHR presented: "How to use Linkedin to Increase Your Job Search Success." This PowerPoint download (large file - be patient) will be helpful for anyone learning how to use LinkedIn to their best advantage. That includes jobseekers, recruiters and HR people, people just trying to expand their network, and people thinking about looking for work in the next few years.

For selling and job search: "Cold Calling Techniques (That really work!)" by Stephan Schiffman

Great book about job searching, interviewing, general info with lots of sample questions/answers in the back: "Knock 'em Dead" by Martin Yate

Some private coaches with books or mailing lists:

Carol Martin is an interview coach and has written several books.

Patti Wilson runs WednesdayNetwork. This is a network of 1800+ professionals providing answers and advice for job and career questions.

Need focus in your career decisions/job hunt? "What Color is Your Parachute" by Richard Bolles. His website is a supplemental site, not meant to replace the book.

KITLIST: This is an email listing of open positions primarily in the Silicon Valley (Some are outside of California or even the country.) If you subscribe, you are only allowed to post open positions. If you send in anything else you'll be dropped and banned from further participation. Best advise: subscribe to the daily digest and only read. DON'T POST!

REMEMBER THIS: STUDIES SHOW THAT APPROXIMATELY 80-90% OF ALL POSITIONS ARE FOUND VIA NETWORKING! My experience in recruiting and tracking staffing would agree with this data.
