The Technical Forum.
The Technical Forum.
The Technical Forum is a new, weekly program of the Minneapolis Job Support Workshop for Managers, Professionals & Others. The Technical Forum is exclusively for job seekers in the engineering, manufacturing, software, hardware, and scientific fields.
The meetings are meant to be different from anything that is being done now to our knowledge for job seekers.
Welcome. First there is an introduction to the group, a brief “check about what each participant has been doing in her/his job search since the last meeting and then an opportunity to discuss any issues in job search. (approx. 15 minutes)
Large Group Presentations. In the second part of the meeting, participants present to the group actual activities/accomplishments from a past job using the white board or a computer projector much as one might do in an interview, then handling questions and suggestions. Thus participants are keeping up their technical skills and seeing and hearing how other people present technical information. (approx. 45 minutes)
Small Group - Triads. In this segment, there are three roles within the group: interviewer, interviewee and observer. After a few questions, the roles are rotated. (Approx. 30 minutes)
As the meeting evolves it will decide issues about how it can best operate and may refine the processes.
The TECHNICAL FORUM is meant to be an enlightening complement to whatever else a job seeker is doing in her/his search.
The meeting is held every Friday in Room 116 at Christ Presbyterian Church (70th Street and Highway 100) Edina,
The time is 10:00 A.M. to about noon.
Like other programs of the Minneapolis Job Support Workshop, the program has refreshments and is free although a donation is appreciated ($3 is suggested).
If there are any questions, please call Stan Brown at 952-943-0718, who is one of the hosts of the meeting.
