I just joined two job hunting/career support Meetup groups. They were suggested to me via email from my sister. She’s very concerned about my lack of a network. None of the group leaders have contacted me as of yet because no activities/meetings have been planned.
One of the groups is for job hunters over the age of 40. I hope that other members of this group will be helpful to me in my job search. But I won’t know until I meet them. I hope I fit in, but I don’t have the career background of most people my age. I have never been in a supervisory/managerial position and by job history has been spotty. I feel more like someone in her late 20’s/early 30’s who is trying to make a career change.
I don’t belong to a purely social club yet. Meetup has some interesting sounding groups in NYC. These include groups dedicated to going to see live music performances, watching art house films, mythology, wiccanism/paganism, metaphysics/asian spirituality, etc. I wonder if these are good groups to join so I can meet men.
