Search 4 U — Your Talent and Career Transition Solution

Practice Interview Team (The PIT Crew) – You must have an appointment in order to have a practice interview.

Panels of interviewers are ready to help you practice for that real interview. The practice interview team is made up of volunteers from multiple industries and they attempt to ask the questions that your potential employer might ask.

The team will need research time so “Appointments are taken on a first-come basis, for proper preparation no appointments will be accepted after 6 pm the previous day.” You must have an appointment in order to have a practice interview.

Observers are welcome and no appointment is required to be an observer.

We meet each Wednesday from 1 – 2:45pm. Send your resume and a current job description to: DallasPitCrew@gmail.com or call 972-861-CREW (2739)

Just a reminder for executives in the job search. We’re having a networking meeting for executives actively looking for their next position or even dipping their toe in. We have these meetings in other places in the country, and have received a number of requests to put together something for the DFW area. This meeting is for C-level, VP or Director level only – all functional areas/all industries.

We’re getting together the 2nd Tuesday of each month. People who show up to the meeting are realizing the benefit of the conversation in the room. It’s amazing what you can learn about the Dallas/Fort Worth market and what’s going on. If you’re not there… you’re definitely missing out!

We’re a loosely organized, talented group of folks, headquartered in Plano, Texas, with members all over the country. We all are (or have been) in the same boat and are serious about helping others with networking, leads, and job search information.

We are a networking and lead sharing group, not a recruitment agency, although we have a number of recruiters who work with us routinely.

We meet weekly, Thursday mornings at 7:30 a.m., at the SMU campus in Plano. It’s West of Preston Road (Hwy 289) on Tennyson Parkway. That’s between Legacy Drive and Spring Creek Parkway. It’s in a 2 story office complex on the South side of Tennyson. We meet in Building 4, Room 117.

We’re a low overhead group, so if you would like something to eat, we suggest you bring it with you. Meet with us weekly for networking, or, if you prefer, you can be a member “at large” and stay connected through our daily emails.

The only obligations of membership in LCNG are that you need to be willing to:
1) share leads (that you aren’t personally pursuing) with the rest of the group, and
2) agree to take calls from others in the group to help with networking and referrals.

For more info go to http://groups.yahoo.com/group/lcngroup/ Dick Ivey is our CEO and Fearless Leader Eric Sluder is our Sr. VP of Roster Services and CIO/CTO Wayne Stewart is our Highly Paid Secretary and Director of Lead Management.
