50+: Practice Interview Group News & Updates

To Acton Networker group, Tatnuck group, and several others via BCC.

If you haven't looked at my website recently, I invite you to take a look.  I made some big updates yesterday, including:

* Two new service packages--Practice Interview and Career Transition.

* Simple funnel quiz on the home page directs you to the page that addresses your answer.

* My personal news includes how I passed the Strong Interest Inventory certification test. It's a well-known and respected assessment. A lot of college career centers use it.

It's the last week of June; so this coming Wednesday (June 29th) the virtual practice interview group meets at 7pm. I've provided the Zoom link below.

Next week will be the first week of the month; so the virtual practice group will meet on Wednesday July 6th at 10am.

In addition, the virtual Framingham Library monthly group meets on Thursday July 7th at 2pm. I've provided the Zoom links below

* The first in-person practice group meeting of the year will be Wednesday July 20th, 4pm at the Framingham Public Library.

Got any questions?  Send me a note!

Have a great day.
