What is our purpose here? To network with one another in pursuit of our individual optimum career.

What is the Mid-South Career Network? An informal network of people, meeting at various sites in the greater Memphis, TN, area, to pursue that purpose.

How does this list differ from Memphis-CT and Mem-Jobs? Those other lists are more "official" and require that you attend the meetings in order to join them. This list is intended to be more open than that -- if you need help with career issues in the greater Memphis area, you can join this list, even if you never attend any of the local meetings. Also, at the time this list was established, those other lists did not exist or were just getting started, so this list has a somewhat different history.

How will this list help? By making it easier to communicate among the involved people, so that all can pass along leads quicker and more widely, report techniques that worked for them to everyone, and so that this can be done in a manner that will minimize the likelihood of unwanted "spam"
emails.

Does it cost anything to participate in this list? No. YahooGroups provides this as a free service, and their expenses are covered by advertisers who place the ads in the emails. (This list has no control over the content of those ads.)

Is there anything else about this list that I should know? This email list is "restricted membership," meaning you will have to contact the moderator to join. This is to keep a handle on the list, so that it does not waste anyone's time with non-career items. In order to minimize the chances of getting a virus via this list, no attachments will be allowed and any sent will be dropped before the message is forwarded to the list. You can remove yourself from this list at any time by sending a blank email to MidsouthCareer-unsubscribe@yahoogroups.com.
