Make Your Uniqueness Work For You


from Rod Colon's blog

Since the right job flows directly out of all the elements of your personality type, you need to spend some time figuring out what makes you tick. By making a conscious effort to discover the “real you,” you learn how to focus your natural strengths and inclinations into a career you can love for a long as you choose to work.

This is where “type” is so helpful. It provides a systematic, effective way to evaluate both your strong points and your probable weaknesses or blind spots. Once you have these figured out, you’ll know how to make sure you are always operating from a position of strength.  Read more . . .

Jersey Shore Networking Group History

Our next free job search training and networking session is October 28, 2010 at 6:30PM - Register now
Thomas E. Kenny, Jersey Networking Group Founder

Empowering Today's Professionals (ETP) was founded by CEO, Rod Colon.  After graduating from ETP's job search and career management educational training programs,  in 2008 Tom Kenny pioneered  the Jersey Shore Networking Group (JSNG) located in Tom's River.  As a result of his outstanding accomplishment in developing the JSNG, Tom was awarded the Most Valuable Player (MVP) award by the ETP executive committee in 2009.

Following the adage "each one teach one", ETP members Michele Battista and Peter Hansen took Tom Kenny's lead and started another Jersey Shore Networking Group in Manalapan, NJ.  This expansion was also necessary, as the economy has greatly impacted the job market for many people in the Jersey Shore area.  In addition to being a JSNG leader, Michele also takes photos at the training sessions. Click here to see more photos on Facebook of JSNG career management training sessions in action.

With the aggressive expansion of meeting attendees to monthly career management and job search training sessions, Tom, Michele and Peter were inducted into the membership Who's Who Hall of Fame by the ETP executive committee in 2010.  "JSNG has truly been an effective, action oriented leadership team in contributing to their "community at large" states Carl E. Reid, Chief Operations Officer of Empowering Today's Professionals.

Testimonials from previous attendees . . .

"Yesterday was the first meeting that I have attended, and I must commend you (and the rest of the group) on a very enjoyable and worthwhile meeting. Having others to support you (and to interact with at a professional level), whether you are "in between assignments" (as I like to call it), or "currently working at", is wonderful since it gives the individuals a new perspective on alternatives possibly available to them , by hearing what others are going through in their lives." - Shevi  Batsheva Ph.D., Industrial / Organizational Psychology.

"Thanks very much for arranging everything. You did a fantastic job." - Michael Procopio, Web Services Developer.

"What a powerful group, and a great first meeting for me at JSNG. Thank you Rod and Tom for caring and giving so much energy and enthusiasm -- it is contagious.
To everyone: If you all have not read through Tom's LinkedIn FAQs, you probably should. Although I have been in LinkedIn for 3 or 4 years, mostly as a passive user, I have been using LinkedIn heavily the past two weeks since my position was eliminated. It is pretty intuitive, yet can be complex. For example, do you all know that you can simply ask your network a question? I did not until reading Tom's FAQs. ...
In my first meeting with ETP, I learned how to suggest ways I can help others while giving my introduction. I will have a more interesting intro for the group in October." - Bob Zimel, OD and Learning Executive.
