WORKING THE ROOM: HOW TO SUCCEED AT NETWORKING EVENTS
- When you attend networking or business meetings, are you successful in promoting yourself?
- Are you unsure of the best ways to do this?
- Would you like to improve your technique?
- Do you leave the meeting feeling that you really accomplished something?
If you would like to improve your networking skills and get better at "working the room", you should attend our May EARN meeting.
Our speaker for the event is Marty Latman. Called by some people as the Best Networker they know, Marty will present the basic tools you need to use when attending networking events.
Marty is the chairman of the Bergen Chapter of Financial Executive Network Group (FENG). Since its inception, FENG-Bergen Chapter has successfully helped more than 1,100 of its members find gainful employment. He is also the chairman of NJ Strategic Executive Networking Group (NJSENG), a FEI member, and a member of over 20 other career networking groups.
Join us for an exciting evening, to learn what you really must do to make your presence at a networking event successful.

Organized by
is one of Westchester County's perennial faith-based groups specifically designed to assist the unemployed, underemployed and others in a state of career transition. EARN been holding monthly meetings since 1989.
The program was established by a small group of parishioners with human resources backgrounds with the intent of educating attendees about the job search process and by providing them opportunities to develop their networking skills. Essentially, EARN's coordinators help individuals to learn what it takes to uncover job leads and to increase their number of potential contacts. Not an employment agency, EARN provides valuable resources to connect attendees to work, but does not provide job placement.
The monthly meeting has four phases. Initially, there is News You Can Use -- an update on events. This is usually followed by a knowledgeable guest speaker who delves into various aspects of the job search, such as resume preparation, networking, negotiating and interviewing. Third, a coordinator facilitates a formal networking process whereby each participant tells of his/her background, aspirations and job search successes/setbacks experienced over the last month. Finally, informal networking takes place. Attendees do a one-on-one or small group interactions, for example, depending upon what transpired in the earlier networking phase.
EARN also publishes a monthly newsletter entitled Employment Exchange which lists job openings and situations wanted.
