Our next meeting is on Saturday, March 19 @ 11:00am at the Peets Coffee in Palo Alto (Embarcadero & El Camino Real) in the Town & Country shopping center. Even if you are currently employed, you can add to this group with your advice, suggestions, passing on the word, and by bringing your friends to the event.  Please RSVP no later than Monday, March 14 so we will know how many people to expect.  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Our Guest Speaker: Ken Yap ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Mr. Yap spent 17 years in tech and has owned a business in financial services for 7 years now. Mr. Yap often speaks about career development to professional groups and at Santa Clara University's MBA program.  Quote from Mr. Yap: "I find that the majority of people are looking for the next salaried job and only a few are looking for long term career/business goals. The mindset and requirements on skill sets are very different between these groups."   [IMAGE]  Ken Yap   I look forward to seeing you at the next meeting! Sincerely, Sheree M. Marlowe, Esq.
