Lisle Township Job Club
Welcome!
INTRODUCTION TO NEW MEMBERS
WHAT WE DO?
Welcome to a place where job seekers and job movers come together to encourage, cajole and support each other’s job
search. In a relaxed, friendly atmosphere, we learn effective interviewing techniques, networking strategies, how to break through the
Human Resources Departments’ barriers and other mechanics of the job campaign.
HOW WE DO IT?
- We meet every Wednesday at the Community Career Center in Naperville (2nd floor) at 9:30 and again at
11:30. And on the last Friday of every month downstairs at the Lisle Library Conference Room (Coffee is always provided) from 10:00
a.m. to 1:00 p.m.
- A spouse group is also available the First Thursday evening of each month at Indian Prairie Library in Darien at
6:30 p.m.
- Each person will be asked to give a brief two-minute verbal resume about positions desired & target
companies. This is a good experience in selling yourself to a group of people.
- Job opportunities and leads are circulated, including national job sources. Other people will supply leads and
contacts, so bring a pad and pencil.
- After a mid-morning break (when ”networking” is encouraged), occasionally a speaker will give us insight on a
variety of topics (i.e. internet job search, interviewing, resumes, etc.).
AGAIN, WELCOME!
