[KITlist-Tech] From Sue: Job Fair next Wed. 11/4 in San Jose

Hi Everyone,

I want to share news about job fairs, networking events, and other free career resources that are available in the greater Bay Area and beyond. If you hear of something, please email me and I will share it with our KIT List community!

It's really worth it to go to job fairs, since I can speak from personal experience -- I found a job myself early in my career at a job fair. Meeting the HR teams personally is a tremendous advantage.

So, put on your best professional attire, print out a bunch of resumes, give yourself a positive pep talk for confidence building, put a smile on your face and…GO!!!

There are a series of job fairs coming up through HIREevent in San Jose (11/4), San Francisco (12/7), Modesto (11/17), and Sacramento (12/8). The full list can be found at www.hirevents.com.

Here are the details for the San Jose job fair:

Silicon Valley HIREevent

Wednesday, November 4th

Noon - 4:00 PM
Biltmore Hotel
2151 Laurelwood Road

Santa Clara, CA 95054

Even if you think you may be too senior to go to some of these events, I always think it's worth it to just get out and interact with new groups of people with whom you'd never have exposure. Also, the companies there have jobs all levels, so you just never know what might be the perfect fit for you!

If you aren't an extroverted type of person (and even extroverts feel uncomfortable at these types of events, by the way!) grab a friend for mutual moral support and make the effort to go.

Half the advantage of doing this is simply getting out of the house. If you are in between opportunities, it's always important to just...get...out!

Take advantage of the many opportunities for networking groups and professional organizations to get exposure to people in your particular field. It's worth it to go to the lunch or dinner for your local professional business organization.

A different way to look at networking

I firmly believe in the concept of what I call "Friendworking" since I am not fond of the word networking. Like most people, I feel uncomfortable with usual way of networking, even though most people would consider me an extrovert. In truth, everyone feels uncomfortable and awkward at these types of events, and I somehow felt that it seemed self-serving.

I found a way to turn it around in my own mind so that I could feel authentic and really tap into the true power of helping people. It creates this magical momentum that actually ends up attracting good things for yourself as well.

The idea of Friendworking is to go instead with an attitude of "I'm going to go there to help and connect others." It puts you in a stronger role of a host, looking out for others and making THEM feel more comfortable, introducing them to other people at the event, and having a "What can I do to help YOU?" attitude. This actually changes your demeanor and body language, and you'll actually feel more relaxed! I wrote more about it in a previous blog post:

https://kitlist.wordpress.com/2009/06/06/it%E2%80%99s-your-%E2%80%9Cfriendwork%E2%80%9D-not-a-network/

Try out the concept of Friendworking yourself, and remember that even in a room full of strangers...that a stranger is just a friend you haven't met yet!

Have some fun with the process, go with an attitude of helping others, and see what happens!

Warmly,

Sue
