Unemployment Chronicles, Day 28: We Need a Name

My coach gave my job search group the assignment of coming up with a name for the group.  This is a group of six job seekers who meet once a week, until someone joins and makes it more than six, or someone gets a job and leaves.  The name cannot refer to the specific people, because the membership is too fluid.

I'm not sure why the group doesn't have a name already, since different people have been meeting for awhile, but whatever.  One of the group suggested the word "landing" should be part of the name; I am willing to consider that, but only as a possibility.  Jarrod suggested calling it "SPLAT," which could make a good acronym:  Seasoned Professionals Landing At Target."  I doubt that sort of humor will carry the day though.

The coach suggested "Accelerated to Success."  That didn't carry the day either.  A little whimsy might be in order, just not SPLAT.

I have nothing in mind, but I am now going to come up with ten ideas.  You can play along with my thinking.  Maybe a play on words, keying off job search words.

Landing Search Seek Network Research Market Resume Job Position Work Career Find Hire Opportunity Opening Group Team Monday Excellence Accelerate Success ugh
  1. A Hire Calling
  2. Wired-In Networking Group
  3. Monday Accelerated Search Team
  4. Position Hire Opportunity Career  (this is brutal)
  5. Monday Accelerated Landing Team
  6. Successful Accelerated Landing Team
  7. Successful Professionals Landing Opportunities Together
  8. Successful Professionals Landing Alternatives Together
  9. Seeking Potential Leads After Termination
  10. MOnday NEtworking Excellence
OK, worst post ever, obviously.  And Jackie wants me to link this one to Facebook.  Oh well, maybe other people can come up with better names.
