 Salty Legs Career Club is a career-networking group formed in the Fall of 2008. And about the group’s name: Just as those who drove New England’s maritime economy had the sea legs to brave rough seas, Salty Legs members have the skill and confidence to weather the most tumultuous jobs environment.The group not only helps those looking for new jobs; it also provides information and contacts for others that want to expand their businesses and enhance their careers. Members range in age from Baby Boomers to Generation Y and include experts in new media, marketing, human resources, graphic design, public relations and copy writing. Salty Legs conducts most of its business virtually on Facebook and meets every two weeks at Harvard University. The meetings involve round table discussions and presentations by experts to inspire and educate members to enhance their careers and exploit the opportunities of the new economy.
