Wednesday, October 9 2:30 pm - 4:00 pm Ramp Up Your Resume Location: WJCS, 845 North Broadway, North White Plains Sorry to say... upon receiving a resume, employers will not call and offer you a job! They
might, however, invite you in for an INTERVIEW! That's your goal! Your resume opens the door. It is the carrot you dangle to get noticed and create initial interest in your candidacy! Make sure it is ready to impress and make you memorable! The process of reviewing and ramping up your resume will allow you to relive the projects you worked on, the group/s you managed and the accomplishments about which you are most proud. Many resumes are watered down versions of what they should/could be. Allow yourself the time and attention to indulge your history, to relish what you have done and to come out the other side with not only a strong resume as your marketing collateral, but an opportunity to have thought through your successes, and feel empowered to confidently discuss and demonstrate your talents! Presenter: Naomi Koller, FEGS, Career Counselor
Thursday, October 10 2:00 pm - 3:30 pm Make Yourself Memorable Location: WJCS, 845 North Broadway, North White Plains Learn how to maximize your impact to your network and potential employers. To stand out in this market, it is critical to be able to control the image you portray and the messages you send to others. Gather insights to effectively differentiate and communicate your unique message via e-mail and face to face interactions. Also consider the possible need to update your image for this market and learn how to go about doing that. Presenter: Julie Jansen has empowered thousands of professionals to find success, satisfaction and fulfillment at work. A dynamic, much-sought-after speaker, author, facilitator, trainer, coach, and business consultant to Fortune 500, privately held companies and nonprofits, Julie helps senior executives, managers, business owners, and professionals in all industries learn how to increase their effectiveness and jumpstart their careers.

Contact Ellen Siegel at [email protected] ******************************************************** GREEN TIP OF THE WEEK brought to you by David Kahn No Thanks for a Paper Receipt Eliminating paper receipts is a great way to cut waste. Many stores now offer the option of having your receipt emailed to you, and this little step can add up to big savings for the planet. Switching to digital receipts in the U.S. alone could save more than 9.5 million trees and save 1.2 billion gallons of water used during the receipt-paper production process. So next time you’re asked if you’d like that receipt printed, say “No, thanks!”

ARTS and LEISURE
Final weeks! Elaine Reichek: A Postcolonial Kinderhood Revisited Closing October 20, 2013 “exceptionally savvy and elegant” – The New York Times In 1993 the Jewish Museum commissioned Elaine Reichek to create an installation that explored her personal identity. Reimagining her childhood bedroom, Reichek displayed her first‐generation Jewish American parents’ efforts to assimilate in the American mainstream through colonial‐style furnishings. A Postcolonial Kinderhood, installed in 1994, probed the fears and embarrassments—real or imagined—that still prevailed among many American Jews and is one of the earliest major works to
confront the paradoxes of American Jewish identity. In this reinstallation the artist has added several components, including video and needlework. More >

Chagall: Love, War, and Exile through February 2, 2014 “The Bottom Line: A fresh look at Marc Chagall that’s riveting.” – Time Out New York For the first time in the United States, artwork by Marc Chagall from the 1930s and 1940s will be gathered to reveal a lesser‐known side of the artist. Beginning with the richly evocative paintings of his years in France, the exhibition illuminates an artist deeply responsive to the suffering inflicted by war and to his own exile to New York and personal losses. By the late 1940s, Chagall returns to colorful, joy‐filled work celebrating love. The exhibition will include approximately 31 paintings and 22 works on paper, as well as selected letters, poems, photos, and ephemera. More > Download the free app before you visit!

Hard Talks: Was Karl Marx Right? Thursday, October 17, 6:30 pm Moderated by author and communications scholar Liel Leibovitz, Hard Talks is a new series which features speakers with strongly opposing points of view addressing some of the most probing and provocative questions in intellectual history. Exactly 130 years after his death, is it possible to revisit the work of Karl Marx and discover that for all the terrors wrought by his followers, the man himself might have been absolutely right? Is it time to take Marx seriously again, or is his legacy forever tainted by the massive failures of Communism? Free with Pay‐What‐You‐Wish Admission, RSVP >
