The November monthly meeting of Editorial Freelance Association (EFA) will be Wednesday, November 28, at
the
Chestnut Hill Library (that is, the week after Thanksgiving).
Mark your calendar now!
Time: networking from 6:30 to 7:00 pm;
meeting from 7:00 to 8:30 pm
Topic: CREDENTIALS: ARE YOU USING THEM WELL?
Take a look at your resume. Does it list every project you've done over
the past 20 years --- even projects that have nothing to do with your
career goals? Do you list yourself as "Co-Assistant Subcommittee Vice
Chair" of some obscure organization just because it sounds impressive?
You may be unwittingly turning off potential clients. We'll discuss what
you should (and shouldn't) list among your credentials, as well as how
you can present those credentials for maximum impact. We also hope
you'll share some of your strategies for putting your best foot forward.
Place: Chestnut Hill Library meeting room,
8711 Germantown Pike/Avenue,
215-248-0977
Directions: best route to Germantown Avenue/Pike. If traveling east on
Germantown from 76/476, the library is 5 to 7 miles away on your left:
pass Springfield High School on your left; General Lafayette Inn on your
right; Chestnut Hill College on your left; Chestnut Hill Hospital on
your left. The library is shortly thereafter on your left. If you reach
Borders book store on the left, you have gone about half a block too
far.
If traveling west on Germantown, drive through Chestnut Hill; Borders
book store is at the light at the top of the hill (intersection of
Germantown and Bethlehem Pike); veer to your left at this intersection.
The library is one half block beyond, on the right; if you get to the
hospital, you have overshot slightly.
Parking: on the street or follow the P signs to a lot. Most parking is
free at night.
