Topic: "Get a Happiness Advantage for Your Job Search"
This month's speaker, Kevin Muller, has learned a lot since losing his job during the recession twelve years ago. An avid "infovore", he recently devoured a book on the advantages of happiness techniques, including how one may capitalize on positivity to improve on productivity and performance. He returns to EARN to encourage attendees to apply, and leverage, many of the key take-aways in one's job search.
Kevin is an EARN alumnus, and was an active member of the leadership team for almost ten years, during which he presented on a variety of topics, to encourage and enable job searchers to be more effective.

Organized by
is one of Westchester County's perennial faith-based groups specifically designed to assist the unemployed, underemployed and others in a state of career transition. EARN been holding monthly meetings since 1989.
The program was established by a small group of parishioners with human resources backgrounds with the intent of educating attendees about the job search process and by providing them opportunities to develop their networking skills. Essentially, EARN's coordinators help individuals to learn what it takes to uncover job leads and to increase their number of potential contacts. Not an employment agency, EARN provides valuable resources to connect attendees to work, but does not provide job placement.
The monthly meeting has four phases. Initially, there is News You Can Use -- an update on events. This is usually followed by a knowledgeable guest speaker who delves into various aspects of the job search, such as resume preparation, networking, negotiating and interviewing. Third, a coordinator facilitates a formal networking process whereby each participant tells of his/her background, aspirations and job search successes/setbacks experienced over the last month. Finally, informal networking takes place. Attendees do a one-on-one or small group interactions, for example, depending upon what transpired in the earlier networking phase.
EARN also publishes a monthly newsletter entitled Employment Exchange which lists job openings and situations wanted.
