GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The Accountant is responsible for performing data entry and management of information ensuring accuracy, efficiency and easy retrieval of processed data and customer billing
Presented by: Gary Pezzuti – North, Central & West Jersey Chapters We have Health Insurance, Life Insurance, House Insurance, Auto Insurance… maybe Dental, Mortgage and Disability Insurance. Career Insurance insures your insurances. Most employees and job candidates listen to WII-FM throughout their entire career… and most employees never reach their potential.
Research shows, and recent history supports, that regardless of an employee's performance or ability, he/she will seek a new position every 4 to 5 years… sometimes within the same firm. Too often, with a myopic perspective, MOST employees / candidates are never given serious consideration… not for lack of ability… but lack of understanding WHAT SPECIFICALLY the management is seeking.
Assuming they know what technical and managerial skills are required, the employee / candidate fires off a litany of outstanding qualifications and accomplishments… and wonders what went wrong???
"The “most qualified” employees are too often passed over for career opportunities… … they talk too much… and about the wrong things." Some of the topics to be addressed include: Our “World of Ex-Change” - What Can You Offer The Firm Employment: A Job… or A Career Being ‘… good at what you do…’ is not enough Personal Evaluation Networking PIZZA Supply Chain Career Planning in the 21St Century "
Who Should Attend:
Those who will sit for their annual review… Candidates applying to ‘Internal Postings’… Employees seeking promotions and / or management positions… Managers / Staff who screen / qualify candidates or conduct interviews… Anyone involved in training / instruction / education… Managers performing employee reviews… Students / Practioners seeking to chart a career path… Those preparing reports / presentations to top management… Anyone ‘thinking of updating their resume’ and / or ‘on the market’…

Laid off professionals in the financial services sector will soon have a new resource to tap into career help. The Workplace, a free resource for Connecticut job seekers sent the following announcement today.
Our Tri-State National Emergency Grant (NEG ) proposal has been approved. Connecticut, New York and New Jersey collaborated and focused this proposal on job loses in the financial activity sector of the workforce.
Most financial sector job loses have been in our region. We began working with our partners on this proposal back in October and it was formally submitted in early November. We have had greater job loses in this sector since then.This NEG is open ended so we can add job loses that occured after the filing and future ones without a new application process.
We will open a new job center in Stamford which will include an out placement facility to serve our professional customers. We will also link the new center to our Community esource Program which offers family support services that can help sustain families during long periods without work.
Our customer first approach continues. The WorkPlace should receive at least $ 2.2 million to serve the nearly 400 workers that were included in this proposal. My commendations to our new Congressman Jim Himes for helping to free up this proposal which was stalled in transition.

State Rep Tony Hwang’s First Forum to Focus on Workplace Transition and Adaption
LOCATION: Sacred Heart University, William Pitt Center Board Rm
TIME: Feb. 7th – 1:00 pm - Panel Discussion
FAIRFIELD- On Saturday, February 7, State Rep. Tony Hwang, R-134, will hold his first ‘Town Meeting’ event for constituents in Fairfield and Trumbull at Sacred Heart University in Fairfield from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. The event, which will take place at the university’s Pitt Center Board Room, will feature several expert panelists discussing workplace transition and job skills.
The first hour of the town meeting will allow the panelists to discuss workplace transition and job skills and take questions from residents. The remainder will allow local elected officials and Rep. Hwang to conduct an open forum regarding local and state issues. Rep. Hwang, who was previously employed in the executive search industry, said the economy dictated the theme of the first town meeting he will host.
“The economy we’ve seen in the past year is much different from past downturns,” said Rep. Hwang. “The major change is that we’re seeing many successful people who’ve held mid-level and high-level jobs realize that other comparable positions in their industry simply aren’t there anymore. It’s my hope that bringing in professionals well-versed in workplace transition and job skills can help some of our neighbors who very much need to rejoin the workforce.”
