I gave a webinar this past week to the BU Career Connection. We had a great turnout. I have posted my slides: Eight Traps (and Tips) of Networking When Job Searching.
The slides are based on Manage Your Job Search. Since I published the book and have given talks about it, I have discovered more traps.
I hope you enjoy the slides.

Nice slides!
You recommend 1 networking meeting a week. Do you know of a resource that lists these meetings for the Boston area?
HI Ken, glad you like the slides.
I do not know of a comprehensive calendar. I know of these Boston-area groups: PMI (Boston and central MA chapters are both a reasonable drive), IEEE has a number of meetings, Agile New England and Agile Boston, SQGNE, and SPIN. Those are the non-user groups. I think there is also a Java user group, and I suspect there are more tools/languages/technology groups. There is the MIT roundtable and a CTO forum (groups by organizational position).
In other places, there is a meetup list.
At one point, someone sent me email about a comprehensive Boston calendar, but I don’t remember seeing any more emails lately.
