I do not know where you live, but joining GiversAlwaysGain.com is free...and so too is the corresponding Linkedin Group (if there is one in your area). Wouldn't hurt to find out. The REAL POWER in the marketplace today is not technology or number crunching - despite the lame behavior of far too many in the HR industry. So, it is up to caring people to go to bat for caring people. And, one great place to look for caring people is within The Business Connection.

Interesting question! I see so many LI profiles that are clearly out of date, and I always assume that people update their resume first and LI later.

Every day should be an excellent opportunity to seek out a new experience, meet a new person, find out something new that you can share with others. What have you learned today that you didn't know yesterday?

Not politically correct, but given the grim daily life of a caregiver, a little humor is needed.

Thanks again everyone!

Philly Brazen Network Roulette is happening now! If you life in or around Philly, SW Jersey or Northern Delware... or just LOVE Philly...hop on!
Dominique Aubry
Hi everyone the first roulette and meet up is tonight. If you want to start building a brazen network here is your chance. This is our second meet up this year, and it would be awesome to get a brazen showing. IF you need anything at all please let me know, but I hope this event is already on your calendar!
Brazen is supporting this event by managing the network roulette and I am bringing in the rear with the live meet up. So come and chill , smile and laugh , it will be great!

So
The simple message is just come! If you weren't planning on coming, come ! If you tired and want to relax with a drink, come! If you are excited and want to meet new people, come! If you want to learn more about brazen, come! If you want to build community, come! If you want to sit in a lounge with white couches and a nice cool breeze on a warm spring day, come! If you want to eat some free food, come! It you want to be a rockstar, come!
I hope to see you there.... and bring friends : )
Dominique Aubry
Okay, so this is the last one, I know you have seen the event through brazen and the posting, and perhaps even on fb or linked in. I apologize if I was not posting a ton on this page, but I knew you were getting the communication in other ways. However, this is my last ditch attempt and I truly hope we get to come together tonight as the community is what makes brazen so great!
Dominique Aubry
So I met this really cool girl who was interested in health and I connected her with a friend of mine who works in urban farming ...and while all that was going on , I introduce my talented artist friend to my musican friend and my neighbor to my neighbor and two girls that were both wearing pink... odd how matches are made like that... ohh wait... that hasn't happened yet... thats tonight. See you there!
Dominique Aubry
I am slightly bombarding this page bc of the meet up tonight I hope you don't mind:)
Perhaps just try something new today.... throw caution to the wind, come to old city have a drink or two, a laugh, a smile, hear a good story, meet someone cool, meet someone that can help you, come with a friend, make new friends, sit on a white couch, stand in a room of white coaches, try some food, get some dinner, relax in sunshine, relax in shade..... not so cautionary at all, so what are you waiting for?
Dominique Aubry
Have you done any of these lately?
1) Gone to a new hang out place
2) Met new people
3) Had topshelf tequila or vodka drinks for $5
Well todays your lucky day! Come hang out at Positano coast in old city 6-8 pm, at the worst you get to do 3 new things ….sounds like the best worst day ever ;)
Dominique Aubry
Hey Everyone just a reminder that the First Ever Philadelphia Network Roulette and Live Meet up will be held tomorrow, Thursday May 12th starting at 5:00pm. After the Roulette head over to Positano coast in Old city from 6-8 for food, drinks and good conversation.
It would be great to have a strong brazen community showing for this event! I have invited other colleagues to mix it up. Please bring your friends as well!

Do any of you know of a healthcare recruiter in the tri-state area? Specifically, a recruiter that specializes in placing recent Bachelors of Sciences in Nursing graduates? A good friend of mine will have her BSN by the end of August and will be starting her job search. In particular, she wants to find a job in Level 1 trauma center at a large, university-affiliated teaching hospital that has a gateway/training program for new BSN graduates. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Reading a book this morning called Living Your Best Life and came across a question that interested me: When you start something new, how do you determine when you're doing something because you're passionate about it vs. you're enjoying the initial adrenaline?

Is the question you're asking actually, "Am I going to keep doing this new thing, or will I eventually quit doing it, in which case I intend to consider my investment of time and energy a waste?"
Seems kind of funny, phrased that way. My take is that it doesn't matter, especially if you're actually consciously asking the posted question when an interest arises. Sounds to me like you're not really trying to judge the value or quality of the new delight you've found, but rather your own motivations. Something is driving you and you're wondering if it's rooted directly in something significant or superficial reactivity. The interest it represents is a good thing, it's part of real growth and development.
My guess is if you have a genuine interest in something, then it becomes a vehicle for revealing more of what life and self are all about. If your interest is driven by something unconscious, say, an insecurity, a blind attempt to fill a void in your life, or to distract yourself from something that's troubling or painful, then it won't likely sustain or result in any significant benefit. It's like chasing an effect as it trails off in the vain attempt to connect with the cause, i.e, it's not about the thing of interest, it's about your process of "being interested" itself.
Either way, the best thing that can come out of any situation is greater understanding and added depth, and that happens when we bring our full attention to what's really happening.

I am an alumni of City Year and I agree with you that the network is lacking. At the central administrative level they can often provide networks and leads however, building viable networks through the alumni group it self is difficult for various reasons.
I have managed and participated in many alumni boards. Please let me know if I can be of help in any way.
I am also work in workforce development so i am often receiving information on interesting jobs all over the country.

There were some requests from the group for a meet up. What do people think about late March or early April?
Also any ideas on location, do we want a quiet space, or something a little more rowdy as college basketball will be big at that time.
