Participation Guidelines for Job Search Meetings

These meeting participation guidelines are for independent peer groups and people preparing to attend. Check the host’s actual policy for a specific meeting.

Respect time and consent

Give others a chance to speak. Ask before circulating a résumé, contact information, a photograph, or a personal story. Explain what you want to share and give the person a chance to decide.

Make feedback specific

Focus on an application, question, or proposed action. Describe what was clear and what would make the work easier for its audience to understand. Share experiences as examples and give the recipient space to decide what applies.

See the facilitator guide for meeting organizers and the attendance guide for new participants.
