Stephen Melanson
Personal Branding: How to use 'Simplicity'
to differentiate, compete, and win
If you're looking for your next professional role, you have to break away from the pack and be clear about your value. And if it's not simple enough, it won't work as well as you need.

| MetroWest Network Group: Stephen Melanson presentation scheduled for Oct 4 |
Why would an employer be crazy to not hire you? Do you know?
Can you verbalize it in about 5 seconds, or describe it in a few words?
Join us to learn how to establish a proper networking relationship. You'll learn:
• The rules for 'Simplicity' as a business tool
• What 'Verbal Branding' is, and how to use it
• How to differentiate and not commoditize yourself
• The mindset you need for selling yourself
Why you should attend: After you attend, you'll feel more comfortable presenting yourself, promoting yourself, and differentiating yourself from the other job seekers---to land the job you want.
Stephen Melanson has been a management consultant, speaker, trainer, Verbal Branding expert, and originator of the only 'Differentiation and Business Simplicity' platform of its kind. He has worked with individuals and small through Fortune 500 firms, and is currently a Multimedia professional and Brand Ambassador for the iconic Keene Sentinel in Keene NH.

Kevin Dickie
How Your Mindset Can Ensure Successful Networking
Friday, June 21
Have you consciously taken control of your life and your career?
If you go into an interview thinking that you will not get hired, you undermine your presentation and your skills, even unconsciously. Interviewers can often tell when you do not believe in yourself.
In turbulent times, confidence can be inspiring. Kevin will show you how to develop a confident mindset without coming off as arrogant or self-absorbed.
Kevin will provide:
· Techniques to overcome self-doubt and limiting beliefs
· How reframing your thoughts changes perspective
· How a Growth Mindset leads to more confidence
Kevin Dickie is a certified Master Life Coach, Confidence Life coach, and Goal Success Life Coach, who successfully transitioned from Program Management and Customer Service into Life Coaching. He specializes in guiding people through challenging life events; helping clients recognize their unique gifts; and attain their goals that seemed unreachable.
Why you should attend: In these turbulent times, your job search and career transition need every edge you can apply. This session will answer many of your questions about networking, confidence, and how your mind influences both.

David Bayuk
The three main ways people look for jobs are by applying online, networking, and working with a recruiter. Most job seekers talk to a recruiter, apply, and then wait for an answer. But, is that best practice? Of course not--You can't simply give a recruiter your resume and expect them to find you a job you covet.
So, what are the best practices? Are all recruiters the same? What are the kinds of recruiters?
And how do you know a recruiter is really good?
Join us to learn the answers from David Bayuk, an experienced recruiter and career professional who has worked for multiple recruiting agencies.
Why you should attend: After networking, the next best strategy for landing a role is to work with a recruiter. If you want the recruiter to really help you, you should learn how to best help them help you. It is vital for you to present your best self, know your responsibilities, and understand the role of the recruiter.
1st & 3rd Fridays of the month: 10 am - Noon
7 Bishop Street, Framingham, MA 01702
At the headquarters for the South Middlesex Opportunity Council (SMOC)
David Bayuk has extensive experience working in the recruiting and placement industries. He has worked on both the company and client-facing sides for notable companies such as The Eliassen Group, Winter Wyman, Alexander Technology Group, and Experis. He is adept at business development, recruiting, employee training, and account management.
