PJ McGuire To Be Featured Presenter at Out of Work Chicago event, July 8, 2009
 As many of us know, networking is THE most effective approach to getting a job. At at least 60% - some report even higher statistics - of all jobs are found by networking. However, once we have exhausted tapping on our personal contacts, our networking efforts can run out of steam. While online professional networks, such as Linked In, can be helpful, we believe that the best networking takes place face-to-face. Our own personal quest to discover local networking events revealed a very dismal fact: there is severe scarcity of networking events meeting with regularity in Chicago. It is out of this frustration that we saw a real opportunity to fill this void in the community with our own networking events.

 Let's say you're all set for your big interview—the one you're confident will change your career. You know you can wow the person across the desk with your accomplishments. Or you're ready to give the presentation that reflects months of hard work and success. But before you even open your mouth, the rest of your body has already spoken volumes.
What does your body language say? Does it say you're confident, smart, and enthusiastic—or just the opposite?
Only a small percentage of communication involves actual words: 7%, to be exact. In fact, 55% of communication is visual (body language, eye contact) and 38% is vocal (pitch, speed, volume, tone of voice).
