Peer Progress Group Meeting Program
The Peer Progress Group meets each Friday at the Right Management Raleigh Career Center at 5400 Glenwood Avenue. The times are variable; please check the schedule from Right Management.
The agenda typically runs as follows:
- Introduce new members
- Weekly job search activities for each person
- Practice your 30-second introduction (optional)
- Past week's activities and accomplishments
- Barriers and disappointments encountered in the past week
- Immediate needs
- Plans for next week's activities
- Rewards you plan for yourself
- Weekly discussion topic
The weekly discussion topic is agreed to by the group, and may include any of the following:
- Training opportunities and funding
- Networking
- Information interviews
- Phone interviews
- Online resumes
- Interview techniques
- Interview experiences
- Unemployment issues
- TAA (Trade Adjustment Act, which provides extended benefits for people whose jobs have been outsourced out of the country)
- Health insurance
- Freelancing
The goal is to keep these special topics grounded in experience, and to provide practical information that we can put to use, rather than just theoretical or general guidelines.
