  Upon your arrival, you will add your resumes, etc. to the handout piles and then everyone will participate in a series of informal networking groups of 3 to 5 participants (i.e., “speed dating”), before we sit down for dinner and the general introductions begin. Briefly, these informal groups last for approximately 10 minutes. At the end of the 10 minutes, the groups disperse, and new ones are formed with different participants. Suggested dialogues for the groupings will be provided at the registration desk.
  
  After dinner, we will welcome guest speaker, Rod Colón, Founder and CEO of ETP Network.
  
  Networking is having resources at your disposal—people that you can call on to connect you to companies, individuals or information that you need to turn a “cold call” into a “warm call.” How do you develop such resources whether in transition or not? On the 9th, Rod Colón, who has a real passion for networking, will tell you how.
  
  About the Speaker
  ETP Network Founder and CEO Rod Colón has a unique perspective on what it takes to succeed in today's global economy. Rod shares his 24 years of experience as a corporate HR management insider, outside agency recruiter, professional networker and career coach through an unusual yet common sense approach to networking and career management. His in-depth knowledge of international staffing, recruiting and networking gives Rod a unique ability to both coach and consult today’s professionals and executives around the world.
  
  Today the ETP Network (9000 associates and 12 million LinkedIn professionals) leads the way in the education of networking as a core career management activity through networking events, career coaching programs, conference calls, training seminars, job openings, channel partnering and networking libraries. Rod encourages ETP Network members to share their networking experiences and questions through a Q & A-style conference call and urges each members to become proficient with networking-oriented applications such as LinkedIn, Yahoo Groups, and Facebook. Rod is currently working on his first book, Win the Race for 21st Century Jobs: Put CEO Power Into Your Job Search and Your Career, which discusses the need for networking and human relationships as a major part of any job search strategy.

  Tweet yourself to a job or business opportunity
  140 characters at a time? People are doing it everyday. How about you?  Statistics show that job search and business networking is much more effective when you make “loose” connections - touching base with people beyond your immediate circle whose networks and contacts are much different from your own. With over 5 million users, Twitter offers an unparalleled opportunity to create an extended network.
  
  This webinar will show you how to attract targeted jobs / business opportunities using Twitter, while creating income at the same time"

  Potential of Using Twitter as a Business Tool
  In November 2008, Forrester Research estimated that Twitter had 4-5 million users. A February 2009 Compete.com blog entry ranked Twitter as the third most used social network (Facebook being the largest, followed by MySpace), which puts the number of unique monthly Twitter visitors at roughly 6 million and the number of monthly visits at 55 million. In March 2009, a Nielsen.com blog ranked Twitter as the fastest-growing site in the Member Communities category for February 2009. Twitter had a growth of 1,382%.
