GEN members, my contact at Roswell United Methodist Church emailed me just now (Monday morning) to say that there's a great 4-hour job skills workshop being presented this afternoon, starting at 1:30 pm, at their church. It is not offered all the time, and the next chance to attend will be Oct. 25th.
We are planning to meet tonight at First Pres, at 6:30 pm, but if anyone wants to go to Roswell, please read on for details. The contact person wrote: "The skills taught in this course are immediately applicable to the job search and could help a job seeker right away."
BONUS on 9/27/10: Five Afternoon Workshops - Prior to our next scheduled meeting this Monday. You MUST RSVP in order to participate (see each workshop description for info on how to RSVP).
Workshop #1 - 3:00 pm to 5:30 pm - The Art of Buying the Right Business-A Business Ownership Boot Camp. Business ownership is not for everyone so choosing the right concept is key. This is the extended 2 ½ hour session. To RSVP please email Bill Williams at b.williams@murphybusiness.com.
Workshop # 2- 3:30 pm to 5:30 pm- Boomers' Winning Job Strategies - Overcoming Being Called Overqualified - Extended 2 Hour Version. Have you ever been passed over for a job because you were called overqualified? Join Curt Engelmann in this highly sought after extended workshop. This workshop is a full two hours compared to the shorter 45 minute overview version during our 7:00 - 7:45 pm evening session. The downturn in the economy has resulted in significant number of older, more experienced, and more highly paid employees losing their jobs. As these individuals seek new employment, they are often told that they are "overqualified" for the positions they are seeking. During the session, we will investigate the concept of a job seeker being "overqualified" and present strategies for overcoming this perception during all phases of the job seeking process. To RSVP please email Curt Engelmann at engelmann@bellsouth.net for reservations.
Workshop #3 - 3:00 pm to 5:00 pm - How to Start or Expand a Career Ministry at Your Church. Workshop for Lay Leaders and/or Pastors interested in expanding or starting a Career/Job Networking Program at their own place of worship. Please sign up and join us at 3:00 Monday in the Trinity Café building B. Material Costs are $12.00. To RSVP please email ksimons@msrstaffing.com. We believe every church can develop a ministry for the unemployed and underemployed. See also www.lovingyourneighbor.com for more info. Workshop only available after RSVP confirmation from Katherine Simons at email address listed above.
Workshop #4 - 4:00 to 5:30 pm - Network Your Way to the Top - Learn the techniques and skills necessary to open the "right" doors, resume in the "right" hands, and the interview with the "right" person. Steve Beecham will show you how to use your team to meet the decision makers and land that next opportunity. To RSVP please email Steve@hometownmoney.com
Workshop #5 - 1:30 to 5:30 pm - Crossroads Career Workshop
"Maximize Your Career in the New World of Work" Led by Craig Simons and Chris Gilliam, RUMC Volunteer and business professionals. This accelerated 4-hour workshop will be held before the RUMC Job Networking meeting in the Dining Room across from the Fellowship Hall. The workshop is a condensed version of the Crossroads Career Network training that is usually offered in extended multiple training sessions. It is designed to INTRODUCE you to this very comprehensive, analytical, and disciplined process for your job search. You will receive a workbook filled with exercises that you will need to do on your own following the class. This will be a FAST-PACED training on how to apply these tools and resources effectively. It is NOT necessary to pre-REGISTER but if you plan to attend or have any questions, please RSVP by emailing to craigsimons@ddsstaffing.com or call 404-641-7319.
