Thank you for your interest in the Virginia Career Network where job seekers network weekly. We are a grass-roots, volunteer-driven support group to benefit Virginian's who have recently been laid off.

The Virginia Career Network encourages networking as a strategy for finding unadvertised jobs, getting a leg up for landing advertised positions and simply, for developing strategic habits in your quest for future employment. Our intent is to help you bridge the layoff with your next job. We are providing tools and techniques for you to meet the people who might actually be hiring you for that next position or influencing the hiring decision. Our members members represent multiple business and engineering disciplines. We are in programming, project management, sales, marketing, hr, operations, management, support, finance, accounting, chemical engineering, advertising, mechanical engineering and more. We share effective coaching, networking and resources with area job seekers at organized networking events.

GROUND RULES ... CAN'T BELIEVE WE NEED THESE, BUT WE DO!


Please RSVP!
RSVP - means let us know if you are going to be there. Most of these networking events are restricted to a specific number of people. Only those who RSVP may attend. Do not just drop in. This is unfair those who registered and to the organizers.

Friends
We have a business purpose of networking for jobs and thrive on getting more and more people out to events to keep our network fresh and new so the same rules apply on the Meetup site as in "real life". That said, our members as well as your organizers, are looking forward to meeting you in-person and not just as an "online personality" here. Zero tolerance policy for those who habitually add friends without permission or randomly email/post shouts to members they haven't had the pleasure of meeting.

Check out our calendar and message board for events both planned or in the works. We will try to post as early as possible! And yes, we will be organizing some monthly or quarterly fun events, just to lighten things up a little.

Message Board
The Message Board is means for members to communicate about upcoming events, volunteer opportunities, jobs, speakers and other event related topics. It's okay to post what you're looking for in a new job but it is NOT to be used to advertise multilevel marketing opportunities or to SPAM the group in any way and such posts will be deleted without any notice.

AND PLEASE REMEMBER, IF YOU HAPPEN TO GET ANY UNWANTED/UNCOMFORTABLE EMAIL OR WEBSITE CONTACT WITH ANY MEMBERS OF MEETUP (WITHIN OUR GROUP OR ANOTHER) PLEASE CONTACT ABUSE@MEETUP.COM.
