“ I have tried other networking groups (WIND [Wednesday Is Networking Day - so the meetings were of course held on Tuesday....] mostly) and been discouraged.

“ It is an opportunity to meet recruiters, or potential employers. Conversely, if you are a recruiter, it is an opportunity to meet a fair number of job seekers all at once in a relatively relaxed setting. It is an opportunity to practice your 30 second commercial and network or learn to network. I particularly enjoyed helping a person form a more clear expression and understanding of his job seeking goal and what he had to offer to satisfy the needs of a potential employer. ”
— Alfred Wheeler on Apr 24, 2008.
“ If you are looking to hire people looking for jobs or if you are looking for one yourself. ”
