Mt. Bethel's Career Ministry will meet on Tuesday, September 11, at Mt. Bethel's Community Center (4608 Lower Roswell Road near the corner of Woodlawn Drive). Resume reviews begin at 6:30 and the presentation starts at 7:30pm. The evening's topic is Leveraging Technology.  Don't just hit apply, use technology as a networking tool to meet hiring managers. By now you know that the Internet has changed job search strategy completely. Use this to your advantage by ensuring that you can be found online easily by recruiters and hiring managers and that your brand is clear.  This session provides an inside look into how Recruiters search for job seekers and how you can leverage job boards, search engines, and social networking to expand access and boost your odds of success in your job hunting expedition. We'll also cover what your information looks like to recruiters when they're trying to fill an open position.  Last, after attending this session, you will know how to go beyond just the company website by researching your target companies and open positions via Google, Facebook, and LinkedIn.
