Socks and Gloves and the Vineyard Christian Fellowship of Downtown Sacramento invite you to partner with us as we develop a Job Seeker Support Series targeted at preventing homelessness by journeying with skilled workers looking for work at a time when Sacramento Unemployment Rates are hitting 12 & 14 year highs.
On 2/5/09 we will preview a pilot program, “Making Positive First Impressions in Your Job Hunt” which we hope will be the first of a series of events including additional events to address things like the ones noted below:
· Resume Writing & Revision
· Completing Successful Job Applications
· Effective Interviewing Skills
· Building Confidence
· Healing Prayer for Patterns of Behavior that Inhibit Professional Success
· Job Search Buddies
The 2/5/09 preview meeting is intended to help us develop a network of volunteers ready to find creative & practical ways to help job seekers in our community. The volunteer opportunities are endless, and range from providing childcare at events, to serving as mock interview panelists, or becoming a job search buddy who listens and prays for someone during the emotional ups and down of job hunting.
Invite your friends and mark your calendar to join us on 2/5/09 to get a sneak peak at some of the pilot workshops: “Dressing for Success on a Budget” & “Communicating with Confidence.” This meeting will also assist you to prayerfully consider how you and your circle of friends might donate from your talents, time and resources to help bring the hope of Jesus to those struggling to make ends meet during this sagging economy.

This is going to be a tremendous and empowering event. I hope that we have many volunteers step forward. Thanks Ann & Vineyard for running with this idea. There are many skilled workers in the market right now who are struggling.
