June 29, 2011: "The View From Across the Table--How Hiring Managers Operate" is the topic of a presentation by recruiter Dan Johnson at the next meeting of the Bronxville Career Network (BNC) on Wednesday, July 6, at 7:15 pm at The Reformed Church of Bronxville.

Johnson will discuss his many years of experience as a recruiter (headhunter) for NYC financial services and consumer products companies.  He will share useful information based on his close working relationship with hundreds of HR managers and share the key strategies job seekers need to "get a foot in the door."  Specific discussion topics will include:

• The skills and qualities hiring managers are seeking in candidates
• How to get past the resume screening process
• Interview preparation
• Most common interviewing mistakes
• Follow-up after an interview

BCN meetings are free and open to all and are generally held on the first and third Wednesdays of each month from 7:15 to 9:30 pm at The Reformed Church of Bronxville.  Meetings are generally held in the Edwards Room.  Between meetings, members post to the BCN group on LinkedIn.

At the July 20 meeting, there will be group discussion about the July 6 presentation as well as an open discussion of various topics suggested by attendees.
