Another networking group to consider is Professionals Referral Organization (PRO) developed by Mike Short here in Richmond. [url=www.professionalsreferralorganization.com]


I have heard many of the same networking concepts advocated at both PRO and VCN meetings. If you have found the VCN group to be helpful, you may want to consider attending a PRO meeting as a visitor. PRO could continue to be a resource after you have landed your next position.


PRO seems to offer many of the same networking benefits as the Business Network International (BNI) organization without some of the rigid requirements that some find objectionable from BNI.


I suspect Mike would be willing to give a presentation to the VCN group if there was an interest.


Good Luck with your search for the next right opportunity.
