Weekly Meeting - Job Seekers Ministry

ST. MARK JOB SEEKER SUPPORT GROUP MEETING
MONDAY, OCTOBER 18th, 9-11am

Hello Everyone!

We will be sending you an email blast every week to keep you informed about all the exciting activities the Job Seeker Support Group is providing! We meet every Monday morning from 9-11am with open networking at 8:30am. Please join us for coffee, donuts, fellowship, and an opportunity to polish your job seeking skills with professionals in the field!

This week we had the honor of having Barbara Spaulding as our speaker. She worked with the group on "Creating a Effective Cover Letter" and " Top 4 Job Search Techniques". The week before, we reviewed "Creating a Knock Out Resume". We spent our time in small break out sessions for more individualized assistance.

This coming Monday, we are excited to have Deane Swanson as our speaker on "Interviewing Techniques"! You DEFINITELY will not want to miss this one! It doesn't matter where you are in your job search, but if you aren't confident with your interviewing skills, it will be difficult for your potential employer to see what you have to offer them.

We are also providing ongoing individual meetings during our program if you have particular questions about your job search, resumes, interviewing, etc. Even if you have missed the first few sessions, please attend! We have professionals on hand that can get you up to speed.

Please see our scheduled list of topics below. If you miss any of the sessions, we will have links posted on our web page. Our web page also has current job postings, resources, and networking events that you won't want to miss. Please visit www.stmarktampa.org We are located under Ministries & Organizations>Communities>Job Seeker's Ministry

We will have links for the prior week's presentation posted for your review.
