Looking forward to 2017- 'Opening Doors, Pulling Some Strings'

Happy New Year, Kwanzaa, Christmas, Hanukkah 

In this - we note a bit on job search suggestions  - then note a Chief Compliance Officer job opportunity and invite you to join a LinkedIn Group founded in 2007.

This is intended as an informal year-end 2016 summary though really it is a long, 'free form' BLOG entry. 

In social media terms: Throwback, Flashback or Compliance a "Lookback" - all are a fine thing to do as is always looking ahead to 'opening doors, pulling some strings' -  the quote is from 'Golden Years' - Song by David Bowie - click here for YouTube video.

FIRST - photo is here after it was shared via LinkedIn and Twitter.  In the photo Stuart Rosenthal is shown with Walter Ferstand and Dina Venero at a meeting in December 2016. The photo was taken by Bob Morris. Suggestions: 1. Click the link on each person's name here to view LinkedIn Profile. 2. If you can go, a Holiday Party w/ friends, business contacts, colleagues can be fun and a terrific opportunity to meet new people. For those open to a new opportunity: "Many feed into holiday hiring myths, but, diligent job seekers will have a competitive edge over those who decide to put their job search on hold until after the holidays." Read more via FlexJobs in an article "Holiday Hiring Tips to Hone Job Search" written by Erin Kennedy, Executive Resume Writer at https://lnkd.in/d4su3hY #jobsearch
