Thursday, September 28 - Career Networking Group Meeting, A JSN Partner
9:00 AM - 11:30 AM IN PERSON OR ZOOM MEETING
This week's topic will uncover and hopefully de-mystify what is happening "behind the scenes" in a company when they are recruiting for an open position. We will answer common questions like:
- Why do I have to fill out this application?
- What is the purpose of these questions about my gender and ethnicity?
- What can I expect during the interview process?
- How do I handle a question about my salary expectations?
- What is the process for references and background checks?
- How should I negotiate my offer?
CNG members and HR Directors Jody Parry and Wendy Middlebrook will be LIVE in the Cafe to share these secrets.
Join us in person for coffee and tacos and bring your laptop!
Join us at Austin Ridge Bible Church at 9300 Bee Cave Road - Building B in the Cafe or on Zoom! Zoom program begins at 9:30 AM.
