1. Will participating in Coffee & Conversation find me a job?

Statistics support that a majority of executives that are in transition find their next job through networking. Coffee & Conversation promotes small group, peer-to-peer networking while supporting long-term relationships. Great job leads and vetted connections come from these relationships.

2. How does Coffee & Conversation differ from other groups?

• Coffee & Conversation forums are small to maximize face-to-face interaction.
• We create affinity groups by bringing together executives who are in the same profession and are at a comparable compensation level.
• Experienced facilitators keep the discussions focused.
• We’re interested in your personal career management.
• We emphasize the positive side of a job search — meeting new colleagues, forming trusted relationships, clarity around your values and principles, etc.
• The facilitator will keep in touch with you. The end of the forum is not the end of the relationship.
