If you have experience managing a retail store, Dollar General wants to talk to you. This fast-growing chain, which is setting up stores in areas that Wal-Mart hasn't, needs store managers to keep up with their expansion.
If you'd like to become a security guard in a company that might give you a chance to move up, G4S Secure Solutions could be the company for you.
And if you're a virtualization expert -- whatever that means -- some company in Houston has a problem, and they'd like you to come down there and solve it.
How do I know this? From the general announcements at my second session at the Southlake Focus Group last week.
After the orientation I underwent on my first visit to Southlake, I was so tuckered out from the drive, the heat and information overload that I went home and took a nap. But I feel better after my second session at this well-known networking organization, which has received lots of media attention, including nationally. This time, I was able to try my hand at the actual networking process.
The organizers at Southlake have got the logistics figured out, when it comes to putting on this weekly event. On your first visit, go early so you'll have time to get oriented and registered. Just do what the volunteers tell you, and you'll be OK.
It can be daunting to go to Southlake. The traffic on the road in front of White's Chapel United Methodist Church can tie you up in knots before you ever get there. On my second visit, I found a back way to enter with no problem.
And if you're a bit shy or reticent about meeting new people, brace yourself. Making new connections and sharing information and support are what it's all about here.
Southlake participants are urged to "HOPE" -- help one person every day. You're not here just be on the receiving end of support and job leads. You're also here to be a support to others in the same boat.
