Nov 19: 5:30-7pm - HR Job Search Roundtable
USB Rm 116
Have you recently experienced a job transition or are considering a career change within or outside the University? Have you asked yourself any of the following questions: What is the best way to prepare for organizational changes? How do I market myself in an interview? Does my resume highlight my skills and accomplishments? What do I need to know about layoffs/non-renewals? What are the best strategies for "networking" with others? HR Employee and Career Advising is hosting a Job Search Roundtable to help answer these and other career management questions. The discussion is open to UA employees and recent retirees. This month's session will focus on the use of Social Networking for job search purposes and will include a presentation on this topic. Following the presentation, there is no set agenda and there will be opportunities to discuss topics specific to the needs of the attendees.  Meetings are held the 3rd Thursday of the month in Room 116 of the University Services Building. To register follow this link: http://www.hr.arizona.edu/job_search_roundtable/register

Nov 21:  El Tour de Tucson – 33 miles or 66 miles (cycling)
Downtown Tucson
REGISTRATION FOR 2009 NOW OPEN  El Tour is a fun ride attracting some over 9,000 cyclists of all ages and abilities from throughout the United States and beyond, including novice, intermediate, advanced, and professional riders. Participants often take part in El Tour and its festivities simply due to their passion for cycling, while others choose the event as part of a healthy lifestyle change or as part of their wellness program as a survivor from cancer or other life-threatening illness. Many are attracted to El Tour’s variety of fundraising programs for charitable agencies, for which the event raised over $1.39 million dollars last year. What all riders of El Tour share is a desire to get on their bikes, meet great people and have a fun doing it! Participants may choose to cycle 109, 80, 67 or 35 miles, plus a 4-mile & 1/4- mile Fun Ride, open to kids, parents and friends. Main routes take participants around scenic areas of Tucson, with beautiful vistas of its local mountain ranges - three rising over 9000 feet- all complete with the backdrop of the mighty saguaro cactus, icon of the Southwest’s Sonoran Desert. Course profiles can be rolling to moderately hilly, though the 35-mile route is basically flat and great as a family affair or for beginners!
