May 11, 9:30 AM, PSG of Morris will present Terrence “Terry” Seamon on “A Conversation about Well-Being for Job Seekers”. The pandemic has made these last two years a roller-coaster of uncertainty, stress and strong emotions. If you have been conducting a job search during this time, you know the challenges very well. In normal conditions, a job search is very demanding and can take a toll on you, mentally and physically. To stay healthy during such a transition, it’s very important to look after your well-being. What is wellbeing? In a nutshell, your w ellbeing is a wholistic term for how well you are doing and feeling about yourself and your life. According to Psychology Today, “Well-being is the experience of health, happiness, and prosperity. It includes having good mental health, high life satisfaction, a sense of meaning or purpose, and the ability to manage stress. ” In recent years, a great deal of research has found that enhanced wellbeing contributes to greater happiness, improved health, and higher productivity. Taking good care of your own wellbeing not only helps you, it can help others around you, especially when times are hard. In this informative session, career coach Terrence “Terry” Seamon will share five research-based strategies –maintaining positivity, engaging your strengths, leveraging relationships, clarifying your sense of purpose, and accomplishing goals– to help you keep up your optimism, your motivation, and your wellbeing during a challenging job hunt. Join us for this interactive and engaging presentation. For more information:http://www.psgmc.org/

Fri Jun 24, 2022, 9:45am – 12pm, PSG Mercer County presents John Hadley – Using Stories To Get Hired
The most important thing you bring to the table in any interview is not your resume, your credentials, or your checklist of qualifications, but rather your case studies.
I hire for one reason and one reason only – because I believe you are going to produce the results relevant to me. You can tell me you will, you can draw up a proposed work plan with facts and figures, but what is going to sell me the most effectively is the demonstration of relevant results you have produced in the past. And the more such case studies you can draw upon, the more believable you become. But that only works if your stories are told the right way and include certain key elements!
- Can you give a “2 Minute Pitch” that’s compelling and leaves your interviewer anxious to hear more?
- Do you have concise, engaging results-oriented stories that you use to back up every single point you make during an interview?
Join us as Career Search Counselor John Hadley shows how to tell your HERO story in a manner that’s interesting, that flows and shows the progression in your career, and that leaves the listener with a number of promising places to ask follow up questions. He will then share and demonstrate the To Caretemplate he teaches his one-on-one clients to help them turn interviews into offers.
John Hadley is the principal at John Hadley Associates (www.JHACareers.com). He teaches job seekers strategies and skills to tap into the ‘hidden’ job market and land the job and pay they deserve. He also works with professionals struggling to achieve the visibility that leads to great new opportunities at work. His Career Tips newsletter brings expert advice on marketing yourself to over 9,000 subscribers; find out more at www.JHACareers.com/Newsletter.htm.

The Ramsey Job Search Work Team meets every Monday morning. Networking starts from 9 to 9:30am and the meeting starts at 9:30 to 10:30 while virtual. Members are expected to hold each other accountable at weekly (virtual) meetings for conducting a job search in earnest. Historically, the team has enjoyed a very high rate of “landings” by those conducting an active and vigorous job search.
Based on the Lee-Hecht-Harrison model, it’s more of a project management team made up of people committed to helping each other in the job search. By attending regularly and staying focused on key tasks, meetings serve as an advisory panel that knows you and your search and can offer answers to the questions that come up in job hunting.
Help others to help you (especially for the first few meetings) by having a prepared “elevator pitch” to introduce yourself. Jobs open up because there’s a problem to solve or a need to fill.
Please contact Beth Berkenfeld at bberk2@optonline.net or 201-797-4342 if interested in joining the group.
