A Job Search Work Team is a group of 5-12 individuals who meet for 2 to 2 1/2 hours weekly to discuss and account for their job search activities over the past week. This weekly gathering has three parts to it:
- During each meeting, individuals will begin by reporting on a number of measures including time spent on networking, letters and emails, job search education, research, etc.
- The second portion of the meeting is spent discussing agenda items, in other words, discussing those things that will help and support each other in their job search.
- The third portion of the meeting is spent in Bible study. We are currently utilizing a new resource called “Following Jesus While You’re Finding Work, by Bob Buchan.
- Job Search Work Teams act as an advisory panel, core network, task support group and project management team to the participants. It keeps the search moving, keeps the participants focused and on the right track, provides members with objective advice and makes a tough job more pleasant. Research indicates that individuals who participate on these teams find jobs in approximately 1/3 less time than those who do not! Please contact Christie Prue at … jobsupport@heritagecc.org.
