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.

Bronxville Public Library
The Bronxville Public Library traces its origins back to 1875, when it was a small lending library housed in a room attached to the “Bronxville Model School.” The Library was officially chartered in 1906 and moved into the Village Hall Building. The needs of the library grew with the town and, in 1942, a new standalone building was erected, which is where the Library is today. Over the years, the Library was renovated and expanded to meet the needs of the community.
The Library has wonderful resources for adults and children and offers a comfortable and relaxing environment. The Library also houses a fine art collection, consisting principally of Bronxville painters and sculptors.
The Library offers special events, art exhibitions, and programs for adults, young adults and children. All events are open to the public, unless otherwise indicated.
