Our next Grace Job Seekers NetWORK meeting will be Monday, February 17, 2025. The meeting will start at 7:00pm, but arrive early to view the pre-meeting slides and/or participate in the pre-meeting discussion(s). Jim Jasko, and other Ministry Team members, will be available to answer your questions about anything to do with your job search. The “focus” for this meeting will be Are You Ready for a Change in 2025? This year looks to be one of major changes in the workforce and the time to prepare is NOW! This will be a very interactive meeting. In addition, feel free to email Jim Jasko at ja...@GraceJobSeekersNetWORK.org with any questions you would like answered.
Meeting location:
Grace Church, Room 201

Mock Interview! Do you want some practice interviewing before heading to your next interview? You can schedule one at a time convenient for you or you can have it during one of our meetings – get feedback from our team AND other meeting attendees. Contact Vicki Evans via email – vbev...@att.net – with the following information:
· Your resume (& cover letter?)
· A real job posting (web link) – could be the actual job to which you’re applying
· Rating of your interview skill – 1 (first interview) to 10 (seasoned professional) or beginner, intermediate, advanced.
From the Job Search Toolbox, here are a couple of tools that will be presented/reviewed at each of our meetings:
· 30-Second Commercial - https://1drv.ms/b/s!AjGv7Ev5XJWogcBj3fgDFuxuadTxvA?e=UFaxLt
· STAR Stories - https://1drv.ms/b/s!AjGv7Ev5XJWogcBizzzaaJt2FbrzPg?e=vHavVC
We encourage you to be ready to present your 30-Second Commercial during the meeting to introduce yourself to everyone and receive constructive feedback. Also, you can present 1 or more of your STAR Stories to the whole group, or, privately, to a team member, to experience how they can be used throughout your job search, especially during interviews.
As always, try to keep your job search on track using the SMART Goals worksheet - https://1drv.ms/b/s!AjGv7Ev5XJWogcBkayz5ej7f2GPKaA?e=Mv7dqI. It’s a great time for new members to join us and learn about how our group can help and keep you encouraged through job search struggles! If you’d like one-on-one coaching with one of our Ministry Team members or want to schedule a Mock Interview, contact Jim Jasko at ja...@GraceJobSeekersNetWORK.org.
