This seems like a great resource – they offer free job aids (reference
sheets) for Word, Outlook, PPT, Access, Excel, Project, Visio, Windows 7,
Windows Vista, and more…….. you can also sign on for free training and paid
training….
They state that it’s spam free…..
I’m not
affiliated with them at all, so I’m not recommending them beyond saying that
their content looks good. I just downloaded a few….so I’m new to them as
well.

Be one of the first individuals to learn about potential jobs and help
serve others by volunteering for posting jobs on the Job Board. Without
volunteers, August Group members will miss out on great job opportunities.
Remember, like the Abbott and Costello skit of Who’s on First, if Somebody
thinks that Everybody is posting jobs but Nobody is, then nobody will get
these great opportunities and they will pass everybody by.
To volunteer, send your contact information to
jobs@augustgroup.org with the
subject line Volunteering for job postings.
The undertaking has new life with a new volunteer as Arthur Catalanello
has stepped forward to tweet events, news, undertakings, volunteer
opportunities, networking events, etc. If you wish to tweet and be
re-tweeted connect with @TheAugustGroup on Twitter.
A retired Major General and former Kodak Manager will discuss the
subject of Leadership at the Wednesday, November 10th TAG General Session at
RochesterWorks.
MG (retired) Dennis E. Lutz military career began in
the late 1970's. He achieved the rank of Major General, serving in numerous
Command and Staff positions. In 2005 he was mobilized for 15 months and sent
to South West Asia. Responsible for Army Communications and Computer Network
Defense throughout South West Asia including Afghanistan and Iraq, he
commanded the 335th Signal Command in Atlanta, GA. This command included
more than 8,000 Army Reserve Soldiers and 750 full-time personnel. He
retired from the military in 2010
As a civilian, he joined Eastman
Kodak in 1980 as a Manufacturing Engineer. Among his managerial positions
were Project Manager, PhotoCD; Manufacturing Manager; Worldwide Product Line
Manager, PhotoCD and Film Scanners and Development and Commercialization
Department Head, Digital Cameras for Professional Markets. He retired from
Eastman Kodak in 2006.

If you’re getting resistance when requesting a networking appointment:
-
Position your request in terms of WIIFMS (What’s in it for me) and
GIVES for the person you’d like time with.
-
Be honest with yourself and identify WHY SHOULD that person take
time for you. What’s in it for them?
-
When you contact them, don’t simply say “Jane referred me.” Describe
what Jane sees as the synergy is between you.
-
Do your homework/research. Review the person’s LinkedIn profile,
google them, ask mutual contacts about them.
Networking is a two-way street.
-
Think of networking as paying it forward and GIVING to others first.
-
Don’t simply say “I’d like to pick your brain” or, “I’d like your
advice on my marketing plan.” Your contact is a busy professional, not a
career coach.
-
If you’re not getting the networking results you want, consider: The
Career Navigator thru RochesterWorks, an excellent program and Kathleen
Pringle and Luis Martinez are both fabulous local coaches.

Read MAKE YOUR CONTACTS COUNT – it’s a must! (by Baber &Waymon;
Amacom, 2007).
The Reciprocity Rule (or Boomerang Effect) states that it’s human nature
to want to give back after receiving something. So, “Give first and give
generously.” (Baber & Waymon)

networking knowledge and enter a drawing for a free book – MAKE YOUR
