This job market continues to be one of the most competitive in a very long time affecting nearly every profession and industry. If you have been affected by workforce reduction recently, you may be among the ‘too many’ struggling to find a new job

The Chicago Southland Job Hunters Network, facilitated by Sundance Group since 2008, reaches out to individuals (and small groups) affected by workforce reduction, layoffs or company closure. This is an ideal group to get involved in if you are serious about your job search. You will not only improve your networking skills, you’ll learn to polish up your resume & cover letter, and sharpen your interview skills along the way.

Currently, our meetings are held in Palos Heights, IL on assorted Tuesdays. They begin at 9:30am sharp and end by 11:30am. A more intimate group than some, our meetings are lively, supportive, and full of dynamic discussion. There is a mutual sharing of job leads and job hunting experiences. Even if you are in career transition, or returning to the workforce after a long absence, you'll find this group to be time well spent. Learn what others in your community are doing to find work.

Surrounding yourself with an empowering community will help you focus and increase your self-worth while connecting with others through social networking and even mentorship.

You will learn from an insider’s perspective, about what companies look for when recruiting and making hiring decisions. We’ll discuss everything from the major online job boards, niche sites and other avenues to job hunting. Meetings have included topics such as using LinkedIn for your job search, how to request and supply references, when and how to contact an employer after an interview has taken place. Additionally, structured workshops have been offered to address some of these topics in more depth.

There is a fee of $3 member / $5 non-member for the remainder of 2011.
Members always receive a discount on meetings/events.
We do ask that you contact us directly and register in advance of any session you may want to attend (email to jobclub@sundancegp.com, or call 708-687-4878). This group is ideally suited to adults with prior experience in the work-place. To get the most from this supportive group, please be sure to have an active email account.
