Due to unexpected circumstances, Rick Nelles is unable to present tonight's topic "Build Your Own Ladder of Success."
But wait! You've already made plans to come out for a great evening with wonderful colleagues and fabulous food at Stella's Fish Cafe & Prestige Oyster Bar. AMA will deliver all of the above when you join us tonight for another round of Speed Networking!
Last month's Speed Networking event was a huge success! So bring your business cards and get ready to mix and mingle.
Past Speed Networking attendees had great things to say about this event - so will you!
"More events like these!"
"It's a great format for meeting a number of people rather than relying on mingling at traditional networking opportunities."
"The event was Fabulous!"
"I would love to have a speed networking event at least once a quarter - it was great!"

Build Your Own Ladder of Success!
The job market is brutal! This makes it crucial to promote your past achievements and future ideas in the best way possible. A resume alone will often get overlooked in the high-tech world of job searching. Be bold, be original, and get the jobs you are after by promoting your talents on more than just a piece or two of paper! Career Portfolio systems can help you achieve your goals! Come to this unique and informative event and learn how to create a portfolio that will work for you!
The Career Performance Portfolio System™ was developed by Rick Nelles, author of Proof of Performance: How to Build a Career Portfolio to Land a Great New Job (cited as the best job interviewing book of 2000 by nationally syndicated career columnist Joyce Lain Kennedy).
As an independent recruiter for Fortune 500 companies, small start-ups, and practically every type of organization in between, Rick has interviewed thousands of job candidates over his 25-year recruiting and coaching career. In the process, he's learned that job seekers who can prove their resume and interview claims (instead of merely talking about them) by using a career portfolio have a significant edge over their competitors.
Now, as a career coach and nationally recognized portfolio expert, Rick teaches job seekers of all kinds (entry-level to senior-level) how to develop an effective career portfolio and—as importantly—how to use that portfolio to land interviews and get the job.
"Never forget—it's your right to ask for documentation when you have performed well for someone," Rick says. "And the key is to ask at the time of the celebration of the performance. Don't wait—ask now! Then take that proof and make sure it gets in your portfolio so that the next time that emergency interview comes up, you'll be ready to knock'em dead."
