Neighbors-helping-Neighbors USA news:
Neighbors-helping-Neighbors is changing its path to the future driven by the strength of its volunteerism and the networks created by successful employment outcomes,
On December 28, 2017, NhN Board Members voted to close NhN as a non-profit organization and continue to support NhN’s growing job search mission through NhN’s unique meeting model and outreach across local, regional and national locales.
Board Members both past and present will remain as Advisors to NhN. Media and branding will continue as created by Founder John Fugazzie. So importantly in this way, our commitment to helping “neighbors” attain positive employment across the many, many communities that NhN has reached will thrive and grow even stronger.

Neighbors-helping-Neighbors USA, Inc. - Success Stories as of 2014
The River Edge based support group started on January 27, 2011 and have been holding free weekly meetings ever since. Six months later the group opened its second location and have been continuously expanding into additional libraries and other venues like Community Colleges and nonprofits.
We went global in the fall of 2014 with a meeting group in University in Madrid Spain. Which saw 5 of the 10 members land jobs in three months following our meeting agenda and model.
Our group is extremely proud of the work it has done and the large number and rapid rate of success stories of members getting jobs, and we wanted to detail some of these success stories. Not all members report back when they get jobs so we know or numbers are even higher than the ones who report in and give us their short story to help motivate the others in the group
We encourage you to connect with our success stories on the NhN LinkedIn group as when they land their network grows and they can be more helpful with connections.
We always need to find volunteer facilitators, as our facilitators seem to land faster than our general members as they take on responsibility and show leadership skill, which allows them to be more attractive job candidates.
We also ask that candidates report in when they land and offer the stories as inspiration for the others who are still working hard at landing a job in this very difficult economy.
Looking forward to 2014 and many more success stories counted by year
Success # 361 – (1.7.14) Dawn from NhN Middletown said. “I just wanted to thank you for all you do for the NHN group. Your information that you provided me was great. I appreciated meeting the members, it was a great experience meeting everyone. They were so helpful. I have recently landed and started a new accounting position today. I will be on the lookout for any other positions I come across for any other members. Again, thank you for your insight and information you provided me in the job search.
The support and members were exceptional.”
Success # 362 - (1.7.14) Virtual NhN - Elizabeth said. “ I sent my resume out more than 300 times. I worked a temp job for a month which was worse than torture (poorly managed company) On December 22nd I received an email from the Jersey Job Club, part of NJ Unemployment. I sent my resume on 12/26. I interviewed on Jan. 2nd and was hired on Jan. 3rd. I am thrilled and my new job is great!! I hope my good fortune is contagious for our other members :) coming soon !!
Success # 363 –(1.11.14) Rosanna NhN Emerson said “I just got new job as School Counselor in Jersey City working for Therapeutic Outreach full time. Ralph Piano and Emerson NhN had a great leadership team.
Success # 364 –(1.28.14) John who attended NhN Maplewood -
Success # 365 – (1.29.14) NhN member who worked with me at A&P and has landed job with B&N in Distribution Center security.
Success # 366 - Edward of NhN Warren Co landed - Employed by Securitas
Success # 367 - Becky of NhN Warren Co landed - Employed as a medical-biller
Success # 368 - Jeanne of NhN Mendham landed but still looking.
Success # 369 - Thomas of NhN Warren Co landed employed as Independent Contractor Shopper Marketing Research Co.
Success # 370 - John of NhN Warren Co landed as Employed at Target Logistics Team
Success # 371 - Hank of NhN Warren Co said, “Employed at Chrome CapitalI've just landed a new career position with Chrome Capital. My starting date was January 14. We provide a unique means for dealers who sell used Harley-Davidson to market & move their inventory using our "TestRide" leasing program. Customers like the idea as do our dealers and, obviously, it's great for us as well.
My time with NhN's was well spent in that the meetings and the attendees helped me stay positive during a year and a half stretch of numbing unemployment. The Good Lord blessed me with another chance so there's no reason to think He won't do the same for someone else. Hang in there and believe for a better day. It'll come!
Success # 372 – Julie of NhN Bergenfield said,” I wanted to let you know that I started a job yesterday. I am a Document Control Associate for a pharmaceutical company in Parsippany. It is a 3-6 month contract position with the possibility of becoming permanent.”

Success # 376 – (2.5.14) Julie of NhN Bergenfield said, “ I wanted to let you know that I started a job yesterday. I am a Document Control Associate for a pharmaceutical company in Parsippany. It is a 3-6 month contract position with the possibility of becoming permanent.”
Success # 377 – (2.10.14) Peggy of NhN Hawthorne said, “In retrospect, I wish I had joined “Neighbors Helping Neighbors (NHN)” about a year earlier than I did. Experienced in Community and Public Relations, it was twist to be on the receiving end of needing help instead of being a guiding force. I was welcomed by genuinely concerned neighbors, eager to share their compassion and wisdom gleamed from life and career experiences. The group, following a wonderful model created by John R. Fugazzie, helped me stay focused in a positive mindset. Breaking away from job applications and individual efforts in order to attend meetings assisted me from operating in a vacuum. I urge all job seekers not to operate in a silo - seek career-minded individuals keep you professionally alert. It is meaningful to be just as enthusiastic about the success of others as you are about your own, whether it is for an interview or a landing. I appreciated the encouragement I received all through the process. I made friendships I hope endure. I recently landed and I know that my fellow members will be proud for me. I hope to pay it forward and stay involved. The workplace today is constantly evolving and NHN provides tools and resources to remain relevant, qualified, and optimistic. I participated in a pilot online-educational program that I hope is the first of many such opportunities. I am also grateful to John for his tireless role as an advocate for all of those seeking their next job. John’s efforts benefit all those who work hard at improving their lives. He shares our trials and tribulations with leaders, including our President of the United States, who can make a difference with a genuine heart. Given time, John’s willpower surely will make a place nationwide where we can all support each other on the road to achievement. Ultimately, this is a recipe for a better America.

Success # 383 - Christina from NhN Ridgewood said, “ I do work part-time at Fairleigh Dickinson. Last semester, I had the opportunity, based on the work I did at my tutoring position there, to take over a Master's class in a specific program for international students. I felt very honored by that.
I still work per diem, and am a caregiver for a parent with stage four cancer.
Please let me know how I can promote your meetings. I mention them where I live, and in every organization I am a member of. I am still earning barely enough to survive, but somehow moving forward.
Success # 384 – (2.26.14) - Marcel from NhN Wayne said" I am emailing you to let you know that I started a new job. I started working about 2 weeks ago for a Hotel company out of Washington DC that manages a few hotels on the East coast. I originally applied for the job in New York and after the interview they offered me to be the Revenue Manager for the Hilton Meadowlands and the Homewood Suites in NY.
The Hilton Meadowlands converted from the Sheraton in November and the Homewood Suites is a new hotel that will open in June. The Hilton is across the Met Life stadium and was a Sheraton for a long time.
I am travelling between both properties and might work a few days from home too.
I would like to thank *you* and Neighbors-Helping-Neighbors for the help, guidance and support during the last few months. I know there is a meeting tonight but I don't think I can make it back to Wayne on time to attend it.
Success # 385 – (2.27.14) - Ken our facilitator from NhN Wayne landed a three year contract position, he said,”
Success # 386 – (3.1.14) – Todd from NhN River Edge said, “Todd Hamilton’s journey to landing his new job and becoming Neighbors-helping-Neighbors’ Success Story #386 took him longer than it did to complete his Communications and Journalism degree from New Jersey’s Ramapo College. A 2009 magna cum laude graduate with an impressive dean’s list record, Todd sought to find work in his chosen field. He freelanced on exciting projects that included research, editing and writing to build a portfolio. An internship at Red Letter Press allowed him to hone those skills as he collaborated on “The Little Green Golf Book” and a St. Louis Cardinals “Team Trivia” book. Additionally, he blogged for a CBS website. All the while, Todd was “under-employed” at Trader Joe’s. He never thought when he joined their employ in 2009 it would take so long to find a job in the field he hoped to build a career in. Trader Joe’s gave him a chance to learn valuable customer service skills and the opportunity to train other employees, creating a foundation for a strong work ethic. Had retail been Todd’s chosen path, he could have pursued a management track and was often recognized with raises.
Todd’s true desire was to find a job that would allow him to expand on his degree.
A newspaper article caught his interest about NhN and before long; Todd attended meetings in three New Jersey towns: Bergenfield, Oradell and River Edge. Todd states, “The flexibility of the varied meetings at all different hours so close to home fit my work schedule and allowed me to meet great members who helped me stay focused on my ultimate career path.” He acknowledges that more experienced members shared their strategies to guide him along. He persisted in networking with them and ultimately, a fellow NhN member and facilitator leader of NhN Wayne, Ken Lang, gave him the lead for what would become his new job.
Todd is slated to begin his new job in early April and he credits John R. Fugazzie for the acceptance he found with NhN. “I was not the typical member, coming out of school so soon. but I advise people in their 20’s to consider what an extremely valuable resource NHN is.” He notes, “It is free and for a younger person that does not have a long career to reflect back on, without a larger network and limited experience, the market is more challenging than I ever imagined and NhN has the commitment by its members to help each other.” Todd aspires to continue to help the group and is committed to his role. “I know I will work with my new employer to see what skills I need to do the job well and am willing to continue my education if need be.”
Todd completed three interviews with the company, including a working interview. He is excited to embark on his new endeavor. He spent 32 hours a week working before and had kept Sundays as his free-time. He devoted eight hours to weekly to job hunting, two hours to NhN meetings, and two hours for networking. Occasionally, he fit in a basketball game or two to stay active. He looks forward to devoting the days ahead to his new job (Can we name it?). He is leaving Trader Joe’s on great terms and hopes his story of persistence is encouraging to others. Todd is grateful to John and Susan who spent significant time mentored him. It is all about networking.
“My hope is that someone takes a serious look at what John’s leadership and marketing skills has created and finds a way to compensate John for this program – what he does is amazing and I was lucky to be a part of it.” (Aol Jobs Success Profile Story )
Success # 387 – ( 3.2.14) – Catherine from NhN Maywood said, “I wanted to let you know that I have taken a position as an admin assistant with a small business that administers pension and retirement plans. Although this position is not what I did previously (QA software testing), I felt it was an opportunity to get back to full time work and I am grateful they have given me the opportunity. This is a full time position, so I can no longer co-facilitator of the Maywood NHN meeting, which meets during the day. Kevin continues on as the leader there.
I will still be on the lookout for positions that might be a match for other members. NhN is a great group and the support received at the meetings helped me to stay positive in the difficult time of unemployment. Even though the Maywood group is small, it serves an important function to those who attend regularly and is very helpful to anyone in career transition. I hope all can find success in 2014 and I wish you the very best.”
Success # 388 – Marc of NhN River Edge landed the night before he was on CNN News report filmed at our River Edge meeting a few weeks ago. His wife Renee was our success story #141 back in July 2012 and Marc has been with us at River Edge since Aug 2011. We are all very happy for him. The magic of NhN is something you have to see to believe, we keep our members motivated which is so important today.
Marc said, “I want to thank NHN for helping me get through some very tough times. It was not easy but with the help of the people that came to the meetings, networking and using linkedin it helped me land a job. As this job is only part time I am hoping the hours will be increased as they see what an asset I can be to their company. The people at NHN always brought your spirits up when you were down. We truly did help one another which is what this group was intended to do. Sometimes you just needed a sympathetic ear for listening. John should be commended for such a fantastic job he has done starting this group and all the hours he has put in and still continues to do. Thank you all, never give up.....I didn't.”
Success # 389 – (3.12.14) Robert from NhN Oakland said, “NhN helped me stay on course and "help" myself and other unemployed fellow area unemployed by keeping on ... A: Looking for a job even when none seemed available, B: Learn how to always be ready for a Bob’s 'elevator pitch' (at the drop of a hat) and C: ways to answer interview questions with correct answers (vs your gut with a wrong skill or response example that actually that is not important or a dumb answer even).
Also for introducing me to "Absolutely Abby" (attended her job advice talks 3 times), I need to email her that some of her specific interview tips ... were crucial to alert me that the current HR person was interested, if only I showed more poise and confidence at even the most mundane HR question and response test... Thank you ! Captain Sully (you R overqualified - question & 3 ways to answer that challenge)!
It also was a place to let my hair down and learn to cope with the unemployment trap as I call it. As a older worker, The way others in the NHN group help one cope will be a fond memory. A type of support group that knows what you are going thru.
I can go on and on, but thanks John, for all 'you' did to form up NHN in NJ and created the various rules , examples, tips and web based job seeker resources. ( soon!! )
Success # 390 (3.15.14) John from NhN Wayne ( not what I can call a model NhN member who gets the idea of pay it forward) said,” Thanks for all your info. Am employed now. Please take me off
the email list Thanks again
Success # 391 – (3.20.14) Richard of NhN Monmouth CO and one of our facilitators there said, “ I landed a position as General Manager of a privately owned manufacturer specializing in fastening solutions and structural bath accessories for hospitality, health care and government applications. Though my background is IT, I applied for this position because there were a significant number of transferable skills that were a match. Several discussions at NhN meetings provided insight into identifying transferable skills to expand the types of jobs you would be suited for. Ironically, this job was found on Craigslist. While this is one of the least likely ways to find a job and I was very lucky and cannot say enough about the importance of networking and the support that it provides.”
Success # 392 – (3.21.14) Chris of NhN Wayne just landed. ‘He'll be a regional account executive for Carnegie Learning which is based in Pittsburgh, coordinating the NY/NJ area for them. He'll be emailing me a bit more about the job.”
Success # 393 – (3.22.14) Evan of NhN Wayne said how he landed his job, “What I would do is if I saw a job posting, I would then go on LinkedIn and look for people in supervisory positions; people who would most likely be interviewing candidates. I would find their email address (firstname.lastname@companyname, firstinitial.lastname@companyname, try a couple variations). I'd send about 5-7 people an email in the hopes that at least one would reply offering to pass my résumé over to HR. Once I'd get a response, it was interviewing from there on.
And that's how I landed a new job in an industry I had no prior experience in.
Success #394 – Ken who is not an NhN member but reached out for me for some advice spent a 45 minute session with me and exchanged a few emails and just landed a job bu taking the advice and applying it, he said “John, So it has finally happened. After looking for a year and being unemployed for the past 9 months, I was finally offered a position and have accepted it. There was no issue with age and they offered me the position on what I can bring to the table. The great thing is that it is only 7 miles and maybe a 12 minute drive. I took your advice on the dollars and settled for less to have a position so close to home. The biggest difference in this interview versus all of the previous ones is that I constantly sold myself during the interview. Every problem or issue that was discussed, I brought up a solution. Thanks for your incite.
Success # 395 – (3.30.14) Filomeno from NhN Ridgewood said, “I would like to thank you sincerely for giving me the opportunity to come in and meet every week at Ridgewood Library, where I learned from all the very experienced NHN members and HR managers. I landed at Premio Foods, Inc. Again thanks NHN- Ridgewood, NJ from all your dedication and effort giving the information necessary for " YOU HAVE TO RE-INVENT YOURSELF".
Success # 396 – (4.9.14) Kerry from NhN Wayne – just landed after looking for several years although that search began in earnest after she joined out group and we helped her network. She's a lawyer who left the work force to stay home with her kids. As they grew up she wanted to go back.
Kerry starts on April 25th as a legal assistant in Wayne NJ then will be working her way up to an attorney position. Her words, "I searched the Internet and found the position. I then researched the company and tailored my cover letter to the firms' specific area of practice. I'm just hoping I don't suddenly wake up from my dream."
Success # 397 –(4.12.14) Jesse of NhN said, “NhN has helped me to stay hopeful for the future. As we all know unemployment is very stressful and if you're over 50 the worry is never finding meaningful employment again. Through John and NhN, I kept the faith, stayed in the game and came out a winner with a meaningful job at a prodigious Cancer Center in New York.”
Success # 398 – (4.14.14) Maria of NhN said, “Just wanted to update you on my job search. Last month I landed a part-time/virtual position as an Online Marketing Manager for a Canada-based website development company that exclusively services the veterinary industry. It is an exciting opportunity that suits my marketing background well. Thank you to you and all the volunteers at NhN for all that
Success # 399 – (4.14.14) Deborah of NhN Wayne said,” wanted to let you know that I've landed.
Starting in a compliance role for a worker's compensation care management company in Parsippany on 4/21. Thanks for all your tips and support.”
Success # 400 – (4.15.14) – Kevin of NhN Maywood and our facilitator there said,” My new position started through a contact of mine. A former boss at my past employer now works at the company and he gave my resume to some hiring managers. I had some discussions with five different hiring managers at the company over the past three months. Finally, after three phone interviews and one in person interview, I was presented and accepted an offer.
NHN helped me to persevere over the past 15 months. Meeting new people, sharing our weekly wins and challenges was a great and positive experience. Becoming a facilitator allowed me to help others from a leadership role perspective and it also helped to keep my confidence level high.
Success # 401 – Diana from NhN Hackensack said, “I would like to thank you for all the work you have done for the unemployed in New Jersey and elsewhere. Having the option to attend meetings and workshops and meet others while unemployed was a hopeful option and somewhat comforting.
When I got laid off, I didn't think it would take me nine months to find another job. I had always gotten a job after a first interview. However, this time it was different...I am 54 and the economy still recovering.
The two promising interviews were because I knew someone, not because I submitted my resume - perhaps, the 13th edition! I am now employed with a comparable salary, but in NY. It would have been preferable to stay in NJ.
Stay strong, and good luck. My family in Buffalo, Virginia Beach and Norfolk, Virginia could sure use a Neighbors helping Neighbors!”
Success # 402 (5.6.14) Sandra from NhN Colts Neck said, “I have finally found a job at Princeton Animal hospital. I will be working over nights. Thank you for all your help and will keep the group in mind if someone is looking for someone.”
Success # 403 (6.3.14)- Brian from NhN Westwood said,” I have nothing but positive things to say about NHN, especially the Westwood group steered by Ralph and Len. There's only so much that a job seeker can get out of reading articles, attending career fairs, and using technology to find a job. NHN provides the key element of meeting, networking, and supporting peers in your community that will give you insight to the job hunt process that you can't get from a book. You'll also meet great people”
Success # 404 (6.4.14 ) Donna from NhN Cranford landed story to come
Success # 405 (6.11.14) Donald from NhN Wayne landed and said, “I got a consulting job in downtown NYC - thru a recruiter - it's a foot in the door so I am going to make the most of it....“
Success #406 (6.13.14) Frank one of our facilitator leaders from NhN River Edge and Oradell landed a full time job he will send in his story soon.

Success # 409 ( 6.18.14) Jeff a recently new member had attended many of the NhN locations : Waldwick, Westwood, Ridgewood, River Edge, Hackensack, Oakland and worked with me to open up a new location and facilitated the early meetings in Suffern, which he then landed and said, “On April 25, 2014, I was shocked when I found out that I had lost my job. This was an extremely painful experience for me. I needed to know that I was not alone.
Soon afterward I started looking for support groups. I quickly found the web site for Neighbors Helping Neighbors. It was exactly what I was looking for. I start attending and contributing at many of its meetings.
Neighbors Helping Neighbors helped me keep my sanity during a difficult time. I cannot thank John Fugazzie and his organization enough for being available in my time of need. Neighbors Helping Neighbors is an outstanding resource. All job seekers should take advantage of what it has to offer.
Success # 410 – (6.21.14) Ken our leader in NhN Wayne said, “I’m going to be starting a 6+ month F/T consulting assignment as a web content manager for a medium-sized insurance company in NYC on June 25. The position is likely to become a full-time opportunity in 2015. I found about the opportunity through a recruiter I’d previously worked with – he placed me as a consultant at The New York Times in 2012. We remained in touch even after he moved to a different recruiting agency. That’s why it’s important to retain business and professional relationships with your contacts. I’ll continue networking even while working F/T. It’s my expectation that I’ll be able to still facilitate the Wayne NHN group, while relying on my co-facilitator to help as needed.
Thanks as always for the continued support of my Wayne NHN group as well as my fellow NHN facilitators.
Success # 411 - (6.21.14) Bob said, “I was made aware of NhN after having been in transition for quite some time. After reviewing the website I joined and briefly introduced myself. Within a day I connected with many NhN members offering much needed support. It was very uplifting to receive well wishes and support from people who understood my situation.
A few weeks later I was made aware of an opportunity from a contact at NhN. Within a few days I interviewed for the position and was offered the job, which I accepted. I am so grateful to all of you who offered support and encouragement. If not for the networking capabilities of NhN I would not have this fantastic opportunity.
Success # 412 - (6.21.14) Jim from NhN Oakland and former facilitator saidm”
Success # 413 – 6.224.14) Teresa from NhN Ridgewood said, “Dear John, I just wanted to tell you that (after a 7 month search), I finally got a temp job at Pearson in Old Tappan. I start on Monday, July 7. I can not thank you enough for the professional advice, great connections, and the emotional support that NHN gave me. I also plan to "pay it forward" by keeping in touch with group members, and by sharing any job openings that I may hear about. Again, I thank you so much for all that you have done for myself and my fellow NHN'ers".
Success # 414 (7.9.14) - Paul from NhN Wayne said, “I work a contract job at Verizon Wireless within the Network Research Bureau. I got the job through a staffing agency in Holmdale, though a variety of agencies have people for this job. It is expected to last until September - with the possibility of going longer, weather permitting. I am not kidding on the weather - although it is not the only factor.
My LinkedIn account has more details - including job description.
I plan to periodically attend the group on Thursday.
Success # 415 (7.10.14) Bob from NhN Westwood landed one of the Construction Project Management positions he was under consideration for. He said, “Just wanted to let you know that I have started working as a Project Manager for Alliance Engineering at Givaudan in East Hanover.
The position is part-time, 3 or 4 days a week and can last up to 2 years.”
Success # 416 - Lisa from NhN Boston said, “ I went to one meeting. At that meeting, I was given several websites for jobs in the local area that helped me expand the list of places I was searching. Meeting other people looking for work helped me feel less alone. In the end, I ended up finding my new job through a recruiter, but NHN is a great resource, and I would recommend it to other people.”
Success # 417 Lisa from NhN Rockland Co and Harrington Park said “I landed a full time job at Chromalloy in Orangeburg in an administrative position. I will be putting my exceptional customer service and computer skills to use in this position.

Success # 418 Susan from NhN Monmouth Co landed
Success # 419 Barbara from NhN Oakland said,” I have finally landed a position as Director of Marketing for Offray Specialty Narrow fabrics in Bernardsville, NJ.!!!!!
I attribute my success to multiple factors:-
- It was directly in my core skill set of weaving and marketing - a great fit!
- I was recruited through LinkedIn by a recruiter who specialized in the textile industry.
- The recruiter led me through the process and coached me all the way which really helped the interview process
- I had a 1 hour skype interview with the recruiter, 1 1/2 Skype interview with the company, 3 1/2 hour interview in the office with 6 people, a 1 1/2 interview with the Director of Sales and a 2 day interview at their plant in PA. At that point I felt I had a good chance of getting the job.

Neighbors-helping-Neighbors USA, Inc. - Success Stories as of 2015-2016
The River Edge based support group started on January 27, 2011 and have been holding free weekly meetings ever since.
Each year we find that fewer candidates who do land positions do not report in or do not want to provide us with their story as to how NhN has helped in the job search process. This seems to be common situation as I learned also with the Ready To Work grant where many who landed jobs with coaching help from our group didn’t report back when they did land. We really feel as part of our pay it forward concept and culture it is important that candidate who land help our other members who are still looking for work with both networking help, advice and a short story how NhN helped them. The candidates are the ones who land jobs but it is a lot of different people and organizations that help support these candidates while they are looking and keep the motivated. Our success stories are important to all of us and we ask you share them in your own words and with as much detail as you are comfortable with. We only use first names and meeting locations or our virtual group locations when reporting out successes. Please consider when you land reporting your story and offer help in networking and inspiration for the others who are still working hard at landing a job in this very difficult economy.
Our group is extremely proud of the work it has done and the large number and rapid rate of success stories of members getting jobs, and we wanted to detail some of these success stories. Not all members report back when they get jobs so we know or numbers are even higher than the ones who report in and give us their short story to help motivate the others in the group
We encourage you to connect with our success stories on the NhN LinkedIn group as when they land their network grows and they can be more helpful with connections.
We always need to find volunteer facilitators, as our facilitators seem to land faster than our general members as they take on responsibility and show leadership skill, which allows them to be more attractive job candidates.

.
I firmly believe I would not have gotten the initial interview if it wasn't for a member at the Cranford group who provided a catalyst to get my resume into the Human Resources division of News Corp. (parent of Fox Business, etc.).
I am now aware how invaluable networking is and I will continue to attend the Wednesday night Cranford meeting as often as possible.

I am happy to say that using the tips and resource material NHN provides, I have landed a great position.

Success # 551 – Robert from NhN said “I have been meaning to reach out to the group but have been extremely busy.
I was looking for a position in purchasing due to certification that I obtained, I was the underwriter and computer salesman in my previous careers.
Well I have a new job , I was able to obtain a position as a Painter at Rutgers University ( previously UMDNJ) in Newark within their facilities division. I started my job on Nov 2nd and all is going well.
I am extremely tired as the position is very physical and I have been used to sitting behind a desk all day. I am an extremely good painter and mentally I no longer have job stress, that a plus.
It's less money than I was making but I am glad to be working again and as a state employee the benefits are good. I just have to get passed a six month probation period in order to be really in, I am reminded of my probation all the time when nonsense comes up...people are petty no matter what job you are in LOL..but I am on time and work hard that's all that matters.
I ran into Rachel from NHN at Rutgers back in November I was working in the hallway on the first floor.
I wearing workboots, my old paint jeans, a tan workshirt and a tan baseball cap...I was in cognito. I heard a LOUD voice down the hall asking for directions in the building...... I said OMG its Rachel.
You can hear Rachel a mile away LOL, just teasing. It was a pleasure running into her and glad we had the opportunity to talk. I am happy NHN has someone as dedicated as her in the group.
I thought I would have attended an NHN meeting by now....I am just exhausted and in bed by 9:30m every nite.
I want to thank the group for their support and positive advice when I was there, it mentally got my head on straight in regards to a my job search with networking and it’s a nice meeting to attend.
Hoping to make it to a meeting sometime in the next coming weeks.”
2016
Success stories of 2016 as we are now five years in existence we find more of our successes forget to report in to our local leaders so we can ask for their personal stories and how NhN helped to be able to motive the others that success is possible with lots of hard work and much effort put in by the job candidate’s
Our first story of 2016 is a good one
Reported success story # 552 Jeffery from NhN Monmouth said” he has landed and we celebrate his success as the 51st person to land from the Monmouth County NhN area. He shares how he did it in this email and the support NhN members at Eastern Branch of Monmouth County.
Kathleen, ( Monmouth County NhN Leader
(3.3.16) I had help from several sources.
The training I have been receiving helped a great deal by giving me technical knowledge that helped build my self-confidence in the job search. Although some of the more technical skills I learned will not be needed immediately in my new position, they may come in handy later on. But the training also let employers know that I was actively building my expertise and not just sitting at home watching television.
Neighbors Helping Neighbors was a great help in many ways. It gave me a chance to practice my elevator speech. When people prodded me and others with thought-provoking questions about professional background, that helped me to focus on which information I needed to emphasize on interviews. So, the questions that people asked me at the meetings helped prepare me for interviews. When you and Lenny alerted the group about important job-search seminars, I was able to benefit from those seminars. They included the Alex Freund seminar in January and one of the Absolutely Abby seminars.
Many of the interview questions we discussed were used in my interviews. Some of the most important questions did include the following: "Tell me about yourself." "What are your strengths?" "What are your weaknesses?" "How do you handle stress?" "How do you approach solving problems?" "Suppose the customer complained about such-and-such problem with our product. How would you troubleshoot the problem to find the source of the problem?"
I received help in improving my LinkedIn profile from a seminar at the Monmouth County One Stop Center in Eatontown. However, I still was having trouble implementing all that was taught about that because there still weren't a lot of recruiters finding me on LinkedIn.
I also got help on my resume form Top Resume (which cost me $99) and Avtech Institute of Technology, where I was receiving state-funded training.
Utilizing what I learned in several of these seminars, I periodically updated my profile at various job-search websites. I think my mistake was forgetting to update those profiles much more often. But, I found my current opportunity by answering an ad on Monster.com.
Since a lot of my time was bogged down in the roughly 20 hours of class time and studying required by the NJ Department of Labor, I failed to find time for as much networking as I wanted to do. I was networking a lot until I began the state-funded training. But, I kept in touch with my professional references and they put in a good word for me after my successful interview. If I had to do it again, I'm still not sure how I would have found more time to go to networking events and seminars when I had to spend so much time building up my expertise. Juggling time was a major challenge due to the studying.
The classes I took were mostly scheduled on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays. So, I had virtually no social life. Thus, keeping my spirits up was a challenge, but fear of running out of money and desire for success propelled me forward in the effort.
Regards,
Jeffrey
The River Edge based support group started on January 27, 2011 and have been holding free weekly meetings ever since.
Each year we find that fewer candidates who do land positions do not report in or do not want to provide us with their story as to how NhN has helped in the job search process. This seems to be common situation as I learned also with the Ready To Work grant where many who landed jobs with coaching help from our group didn’t report back when they did land. We really feel as part of our pay it forward concept and culture it is important that candidate who land help our other members who are still looking for work with both networking help, advice and a short story how NhN helped them. The candidates are the ones who land jobs but it is a lot of different people and organizations that help support these candidates while they are looking and keep the motivated. Our success stories are important to all of us and we ask you share them in your own words and with as much detail as you are comfortable with. We only use first names and meeting locations or our virtual group locations when reporting out successes. Please consider when you land reporting your story and offer help in networking and inspiration for the others who are still working hard at landing a job in this very difficult economy.
Our group is extremely proud of the work it has done and the large number and rapid rate of success stories of members getting jobs, and we wanted to detail some of these success stories. Not all members report back when they get jobs so we know or numbers are even higher than the ones who report in and give us their short story to help motivate the others in the group
We encourage you to connect with our success stories on the NhN LinkedIn group as when they land their network grows and they can be more helpful with connections.
We always need to find volunteer facilitators, as our facilitators seem to land faster than our general members as they take on responsibility and show leadership skill, which allows them to be more attractive job candidates.

I was very fortunate to find a great networking group in Neighbors helping Neighbors. My only regret is that I didn't join earlier.
.
I firmly believe I would not have gotten the initial interview if it wasn't for a member at the Cranford group who provided a catalyst to get my resume into the Human Resources division of News Corp. (parent of Fox Business, etc.).
I am now aware how invaluable networking is and I will continue to attend the Wednesday night Cranford meeting as often as possible.
Wishing you all the best on your journey to land. Thanks again, Matt

Neighbors-helping-Neighbors USA is a lifetime membership as all experts are saying that jobs and work is more short term and more temporary today in this changed economy. Just as I have experienced with my last position lasting 17 months, and the many successful members who have returned again to our group, it is important to know that long tenures are a thing of the past we need to keep our networking and job search skills up to date. The common theme to all of the success stories is the member’s unselfish willingness to support and encourage each other at weekly meetings, this positive approach for all is inspiring to anyone who becomes involved with this group of people and who take courageous steps to find their well deserved jobs.
