CAREER NETWORK


Our Purpose

In these difficult economic times, we want to offer assistance to our fellow parishioners who need to find employment. Our group is a fellowship of men and women with a common desire to become employed or seek career advancement through a Christian Forum. The Mission is to provide an ongoing Christian community for job seekers. Our primary purpose is to prepare participants to face the challenges of a new job search and to shorten the time of unemployment, underemployment or career and position changes.

Our goal is to provide assistance in the following areas:

  • Resume writing and review
  • Interview skills
  • Networking strategies
  • Job search resources
  • Resume posting
  • One-on-one professional counseling
  • Access to STM employers
  • Job search resources

Welcome

"The right person will lead you to the right job. Eighty percent of all jobs exist in the hidden job market, which means you're never going to see them advertised. And over 80 percent of jobs are filled by personal referral. That is the reality." --
Ellen Gordon Reeves, author of "Can I wear my Nose Ring to the Interview"
