Princeton, NJ (MMD Newswire) June 9, 2010 -- The Career & Professional Boot Camp to be held on Thursday, June 17th from 11am until 4pm at the Wyndham Princeton Forrestal Hotel & Conference Center is a FREE event for unemployed professionals and those looking to make a career change. This is NOT a job fair, but rather an event to introduce unemployed professionals and career changers to new ideas as well as serve as a way to meet fellow comrades in the job hunt.
Kevin Graham, Principal at Princeton Retirement Planning & Wealth Management took the initiative to coordinate this high impact event when he saw that many people in transition needed to hone their job seeking and networking skills. "I've helped many clients, friends and relatives through the roller coaster ride of being unemployed." says Graham. Graham learned that there were similar "boot camp" events held in San Francisco and in several other cities earlier this year. "This got me thinking on a larger scale of how I might be able to give back to the community and I decided to make this Boot Camp happen" states Graham. "We're very excited about the speakers who've donated their time" states Graham. They will be sharing some great advice and strategies to help the Boot Camp attendees stand out from the crowd during their job search. Topics to be covered are: Resume Writing, Interviewing Strategies, Entrepreneurship, Personal Branding, Financial Strategies While Unemployed, Business/Life Coaching, Utilizing Social Media and Effective Networking. Benefits of the Boot Camp. The goal of the Boot Camp is to have the attendees leave in a better position than when they entered. An unemployed person can feel very isolated and alone. This event will give the attendees a place to share ideas, vent and network with those who are in the same boat. "We want every attendee to walk away with a renewed sense of optimism" continues Graham." A positive attitude permeates EVERY interaction a person has whether they are networking or interviewing. It comes through in their writing, speech and body language. It conveys a sense of calm and confidence." This positive attitude is a powerful differentiator when searching for the next job opportunity. The Career & Professional Boot Camp is presented by the Princeton Regional Chamber of Commerce, Princeton Retirement Planning & Wealth Management and The Wyndham Princeton Forrestal Hotel & Conference Center and is free of charge. Space is limited and pre-registration is required. To register, visit http://careercampprinceton.eventbrite.com.
