1. Inspiration: The #2 Thing Every Job Seeker Must Have
Many of you have heard me talk and have seen articles I've written about the #1 thing every JobSeeker must have. Your chances of finding a job without having the #1 thing are pretty slim -- as in "slim and none." After working with thousands of people over the past 16 years I've concluded your chances aren't a whole lot better unless you have the #2 thing too. The #1 thing every JobSeeker must have is a positive attitude; the #2 thing every JobSeeker must have is great follow-up and follow through.
For example, I'll call or email a troubled JobSeeker (or O'Farrell client) to see how his or her search was going. When I don't hear back, I call and leave a message that goes something like this: "Jim, this is Dave O'Farrell. I have some good news for you; give me a call." When Jim calls to hear the good news, I say, "Jim, the good news is that I know what's standing between you and a new job: YOU DON'T FOLLOW U-U-U-P-P-P-P-P!!!"
Here are some other examples of things I see from time to time:
1. I hear through the grapevine that someone has missed an interview.
2. One of my clients misses an appointment.
3. Someone has a hot lead for someone else at JobSeekers; the other person fails to follow through. In one specific instance that I know of, the fellow had been looking for a job for over a year.
Follow-up and follow through are vitally important not just for success in search, but in most areas of our lives. JobSeekers' board member and management consultant J.B. Kirk says that poor follow-up and follow through behaviors are epidemic in the management ranks throughout corporate America. The implications for the job seeker are obvious: demonstrate good behavior in this area, and you will certainly stand out.
My first indicator of good follow up behavior (and therefore, job search success) with a new member of JobSeekers is when he or she responds to the welcome message I send to each new person. I ask them to respond to three questions. I also ask them to email a resume. People who honor these two requests honor themselves. Their response not only helps us to help them; it also indicates the behavior that will lead to success in search, on the new job, and in many other areas of life.
Another key indicator happens on Fridays. I'll have some advice, information or a referral (AIR) that can help someone and I'll ask him or her to send me an email with a reminder of what I promised. Guess how many people follow through? About one in five. Amazing.
Some indicators of good follow through behavior (and therefore, job search success) with one of my clients is whether or not he or she completes the exercises that I assign before, during and after the workshop. I assign a lot more work than can be accomplished on the first day of the workshop, so I give clients four days (Friday through Monday) in between the first and second day to follow through on their assignments. Many times clients come in with a list of excuses of why they couldn't devote any time to completing their assignments over the weekend. I wonder, was that an aberration, or was that a fairly typical four days of job search at your house?
A few years ago a client wrote to tell me about her new job. Julie wrote: "I had four companies interested in me all at once: a couple of contract positions near closure and one permanent position here in Atlanta that I was just waiting on the offer. Then another offer came in. It started when I received a call from the CFO. We interviewed over the phone, and then I went in for an interview (five people in five hours!). Within 48 hours I sent all five people a thank you note that was unique to the interview we had. Within two weeks they had finalized the offer. The use of the materials we developed in your workshop were critical, Dave. When the CEO called to offer me the job, he said that I did an excellent job of follow-up."
Hiring managers are busy; sometimes the job goes to the one who has the best follow-up -- someone who is persistent without being a pest -- someone who is finding a way to make it happen instead of finding a reason why it didn't.
The bottom line is: to improve your job search results, improve your follow-up and follow through behaviors. The solution is simple. Make a decision to follow-up and follow through. Manage your time. Set priorities and stick to them. Here are three relevant verses:
1. Proverbs 13:18 -- He who ignores discipline comes to poverty and shame, but whoever heeds correction is honored.
2. Proverbs 24:32-33 -- A little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to rest -- and poverty will come on you like a bandit and scarcity like an armed man.
3. Titus 1:8 -- Rather he must be hospitable, one who loves what is good, who is self-controlled, upright, holy and disciplined.
You've got to be disciplined. You've got to follow up on every networking or job lead just like a criminal investigator does. You never know which clue may be the one that cracks the case.
If you have an anecdote about follow-up and follow though from your job search (either a good or bad), please send it to me. I'd love to hear it. Thanks.
See you tomorrow at JobSeekers, the place where we learn self-discipline.

2. Success Story: 32 Members Land Jobs in October
We love to hear from you when you land a new position. Please write and let us know how you found your job, what you learned from the experience, and how JobSeekers helped you.
Praise the Lord, we are averaging one person per day landing a job in the month of October. The total includes 16 O'Farrell clients, four former clients and 12 other members of JobSeekers. I was asked if it centered around certain functions or industries – or if the economy was picking up, or what. I can't see a pattern in function or industry. The job statistics have not shown any improvement.
The common denominator is faith in action. These people know how to find a job, they have great tools, they have learned good networking and interviewing skills, and they have remained faithful even when they were discouraged. Here's a letter that sums it up pretty well; congratulations (name withheld)!
- - - - -
Hey Dave!
I got a job!!! All praises go to God. On Monday, October 18th, I will be starting at the ___through the "Mahone Group" staffing agency.
I learned about JobSeekers through a notice on the board at the Clayton County Resource Center in Morrow.... Attending JobSeekers truly helped me to be motivated and even more encouraged. I looked forward to going to JobSeekers; being at JobSeekers, I enjoyed the fellowshipping, weekly topics, and especially learning about the use of LinkedIn. A friend had told to put my profile out on LinkedIn, however, going to JobSeekers is where learned the true value of LinkedIn. I became more proactive, I learned to set goals; and how to truly network with former employers, co-workers and friends.
...Several recruiters located me on LinkedIn and contacted me about an interview or presenting my résumé for opportunities in state and a few out of state. Looking for a job was a job by itself. I changed my résumé over 100 times. One day I answered an Internet ad on Indeed.com from The Mahone Group; this stored my résumé in their directory. At least once a week, I received an email about a job opportunity with them; all I had to do was answer the requested questions, which led to this position. I prayerfully believe that working with The Mahone Group will lead to a permanent and long term career with some corporation.
I thank God for patience, faith, knowledge and understanding because many times I felt discouraged; those were the times when I drew my strength from Jesus. I was reminded he would never leave me nor forsake and he would supply all my needs. I have always been faithful in tithing; and the belief that all my needs will be met if I did not waiver. I can honestly say that all bills were paid as if I worked and nothing was ever disconnected for non-payment. Thank you Lord.
Thanks to all of you at JobSeekers: Dave, Linda, all the Ship's Crew and volunteers. Keep up the good work. I pray our economy begins to turn for the better in all things.
Thank you JobSeekers!

'Job Seekers' Program Puts People to Work
'Job Seekers' Program Puts People to Work
Posted By - Chris Sweigart
Last Updated On: 9/24/2010 5:45:56 PM
PEACHTREE CITY, GA -- Thousands of Georgians continue to remain on the unemployment rolls. They're looking for work, but jobs are hard to come by.
A Peachtree City Church is stepping up to help.
Every Friday morning at the First Baptist Church of Peachtree City, professional career coach Dave O'Farrell gives some of his time to help job seekers put their best foot forward. It isn't a job fair. It's an educational program for job seekers to gain the skills they need to land their next job.
"When you get right down to it, it really doesn't matter what the unemployment rate is because the unemployment rate at your house is quite high, approaching 100 percent if you're the sole breadwinner," O'Farrell said Friday.
"It helps me to get my job search organized. Before I wasn't very organized," said job seeker Janet Walker. "It's a systematic way to look for a job."
The program is called Job Seekers. And not only do attendees get the opportunity to learn from a professional career coach, they also have to opportunity to learn from and lean on each other.
"It keeps our job search and our situation in perspective," said job seeker Bert Jermain.
"You know that you're not alone. You're not going through this job search by yourself," Walker said. "It's always good to come here to network with people, fellowship. You always get a good word of the day, so it's good."
Apparently the Job Seekers program is working. About 60 to 70 people attend each Friday. Organizers say every week, six or seven people find a job. They credit the program for their success.
"All you got to do is find one job," O'Farrell said. "Because when you find that one job, the unemployment rate is still going to be whatever it is, but the unemployment rate in your house is going to improve dramatically."
O'Farrell says there are several programs like Job Seekers all over Atlanta. So, check with your church to see if they have or know of a similar group. Or click this link to find a program near you.

1,400 jobs coming to Kennesaw
1,400 jobs to Kennesaw By Dan Chapman
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
"Ryla, one of Georgia’s biggest call-center operations, announced Monday the hiring of 1,400 seasonal and full-time employees in Kennesaw. Average salary: $10 an hour.
About 1,000 of the jobs will last only three months. Supervisors will be hired for 100 or so positions, said company spokeswoman Karen Clay.
With an unemployment rate of 10 percent in Georgia, call-center jobs – once regarded as low-pay, high-pressure telemarketers – have grown in volume, popularity and sophistication since the recession started nearly three years ago.
Ryla, for example, announced 1,500 U.S. Census Bureau jobs last February. Three thousand people applied for those jobs, Clay said.
“We saw many more experienced people from numerous industries -- that was atypical,” Clay said. “The service industry, in general, has been and continues to be targeted as a high-growth area, not just here in Atlanta but across the country.”
The 1,400 hires won’t make cold calls, the company says.
Most of the new employees will help a repeat client (Clay wouldn’t divulge the company) enroll its employees in a health-care plan. The remaining 400 hires will do federal government work for a third-party contractor.
Ryla’s growth the past few years has brightened Georgia’s job picture, particularly for better-educated workers laid off from white-collar jobs.
“The normal contact center agent profile has a high school diploma plus some college,” said David Butler, executive director for the nonprofit National Association of Call Centers. “But there’s people coming out of college now, and those who’ve been laid off with college degrees, who would not historically look for these jobs. So there’s a higher caliber of applicant.”
Ryla, started in 2001, provides customer service, tech support, data collection, surveys and other back-office work for Fortune 500 companies, state governments and the federal government. It was bought out earlier this year by Alorica Inc., a California company with 20,000 employees.
In all, Butler said, roughly 5 million people work in the domestic call-center industry, with hiring picking up in 2010.
“Most contact centers, over 90 percent, actually hire full-time people,” he said. “It’s definitely not a seasonal industry. That’s a stereotype that’s mostly incorrect. But obviously there are exceptions to that.”
“The real question,” Butler added, “is can [Ryla] keep those people once the job market improves?”
Interviewing for the positions has begun, and the new workers will start as early as Nov. 2.

1. Inspiration: Commit to the Lord All You Do, and Your Plans Will Succeed
"Commit to the Lord whatever you do, and your plans will succeed." -- Proverbs 16:3
This verse appears beneath my biography on the last page of my book, "Market-Ready in Minimum Time." What a great promise! What a simple formula! When I think about this verse I substitute "all you do" for "whatever you do." "All you do" seems more encompassing.
Today, I ask you to pray about your own situation. Have you committed "all you do" to the Lord? I'm speaking to those of you who have been in your search for several months; I'm also speaking to those of you who are early in your search. For those of you who are just getting started out, I implore you to save yourselves some time and heartache by examining your life and making the changes God wants you to make.
"Examine yourselves to see whether you are in the faith; test yourselves. Do you not realize that Christ Jesus is in you -- unless, of course, you fail the test? And I trust that you will discover that we have not failed the test." -- 2 Corinthians 13:5-6.
Paul was writing to the church in Corinth, which was the Las Vegas or New Orleans of his day. The Corinthians wanted to have it both ways; they wanted to be both secular and spiritual.
For those of you who've been at this for a while, examine all that you do to see if it is pleasing to God. I often ask a client or JobSeeker, "What does God want you to learn from this?" When you get the answer to that question, you've taken a step in the right direction -- the direction of His will.
A while back I met with two troubled JobSeekers on a Saturday morning. One said he had taken some giant strides in his spiritual journey. He was learning and growing in the Lord, but only after he'd been in the midst of his job search for many agonizing months. I asked him what he'd learned. He said, "I learned that God loves us so much that he won't let us move forward until we learn what he wants us to learn." Soon after, Phil found a great job at a large Atlanta employer.
A few weeks ago someone came to my office in a great mood, and he's been looking for a job for way too long. He told me he has a renewed relationship with the Lord and that he had recently learned, as Philippians 4:13 says, that he can do all things through Christ.
Friends, do something selfish. Commit your life to the Lord -- every aspect of your life. I pray that things won't get so bad for you and your family that you have nowhere else to turn but to God, but for some people that is what it takes. God has an abundant life in store for you. He is full of grace and mercy. And he wants you to experience his peace, power and prosperity.
"For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." -- Jeremiah 29:11
See you tomorrow at JobSeekers, where we commit ourselves to the Lord!

1. Inspiration: God is at Work in Our Careers
This week I will share my testimony of how God was orchestrating a wonderful series of events that led to where I am today: running my own business and leading the JobSeekers ministry. Throughout it all, God was at work in my career.
"For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." -- Jeremiah 29:11
Starting my search. Someone quoted this scripture at my first JobSeekers meeting on 11 February 2000. I'd read it before, but when you have a good job, you tend to gloss over a passage like this. When your world gets turned upside down, it takes on a whole new meaning!
Actually, I missed an important word that Ward Hunter, the speaker, said. What I heard was, "For know the plans I have for you …" Notice that I missed the personal pronoun "I." This was key to the lesson I was to learn that year: God knew his plan for me and was at work in my career, even when I couldn't see what he was doing.
I came to JobSeekers of PTC as a participant; two months later I moved into a leadership role. When Ernie Childs announced he had to step down, the other leaders turned their heads in unison and looked at me. For several months I held the dual role of participant and facilitator. Like the guy who runs The Hair Club for Men, "I'm not just the president, I'm also a client." Late that year (November) I won a great contract assignment that allowed me to continue in the leadership role.
A season of disappointments. Leading the group was a great experience, but I suffered many disappointments in my own job search along the way. The first one came a few days after the NASDAQ crashed on 10 March 2000. My former boss was looking to hire me into his new company; I was to be a key player in developing a new division of a dot-com. He called me on 13 March to say they were going to have to delay my written job offer. It never came, and by the end of the year he was forced to leave this once red-hot company.
The rest of the spring and summer brought many other disappointments. One gentleman, the managing director of the Atlanta office of a well-known training and consulting company, said I was the most polished and professional person he had ever interviewed, then he gave the job to someone else! It was one test of faith after another.
JobSeekers gave me the spiritual lift I needed to face another week. No matter how bad I felt, I could count on JobSeekers to pick me up. As the facilitator of the meetings, I admit that I feigned cheerfulness and enthusiasm more than once, but by the time the meeting was over, I never left JobSeekers feeling down.
After that first disappointment six weeks into my search, I spent the rest of the time looking for what I believed was right for me: another job selling training and consulting services to HR or sales executives. What I didn't realize -- and couldn't see -- was that God was working in the background all along. I teach folks to ask God for what they want, but to be willing to take what God gives them; it will be better than what they asked for.
A gentle nudge.
In October (10/12/2000) I called a friend to do some networking. Debbie said they had a position with her company that was just what I was looking for. The only problem was that the person needed to be located in Portland or Seattle. I ditched that right away. After pausing for a few seconds, Debbie said I would be perfect for another position that was open: senior training consultant. I interviewed in Philadelphia on the day Bush and Gore tied. The interview included an "audition" for Linda Richardson, the CEO. It was, at that point, the most frightening experience of my life.
The key to Debbie recommending me for the position was the fact that she had seen me present many times at the local ASTD meetings -- an association of trainers. The lesson here is to get involved in professional associations; but don't just go -- take on a leadership role!
God was at work in my career.
The key to me winning that job was the fact that I'd been leading the JobSeeker meetings for about six months. Each week, I had an audience of about 20 professionals, which happens to be the same size and level of group that Richardson works with. I didn't realize it, but God was giving me a rehearsal each week in preparation for that audition. When the Linda Richardson walked out of the room after my audition, the COO said, "Oh she loved you!" She went on to explain that Linda had interviewed thousands of trainers and only a handful had ever been hired. Upon reflection, I doubt I would have made it if I'd interviewed even six weeks sooner. As I led those JobSeeker meetings in the summer of 2000, God was at work in my career.
My time with Richardson made me a much stronger career coach and outplacement consultant; I wouldn't trade the experience for anything. I've taught consultative selling skills at companies like Dell, Bank of America, Sears, GlaxoSmithKline and KPMG Consulting. I have incorporated what I learned at Richardson into my ministry and my business. As I traveled all over the country in 2001, 2002 and 2003, God was at work in my career.
The contract job was a stepping-stone to something better.
Little did I realize that working for Richardson was merely preparation for running my own business. I led a lot of role-plays at Richardson, and one thing that was sorely lacking at my previous outplacement company was rehearsals for networking and interviewing. The sales and communications skills I taught at Richardson are very easily transferred to job search. Turns out it was ideal training for me and my new business.
As I mentioned, the job allowed me to be in town more Friday's than not. Without any effort on my part, I often found myself flying back to Atlanta on a Thursday night. The contract work also allowed me to do career coaching on an ad hoc basis; nothing dangerous here, the majority of my income was coming from Richardson. But I was developing my own strategy, tools and skills to start my own business.
Five clear signals.
Five things happened in quick succession that proved to me beyond a reasonable doubt that God wanted me to take the plunge into my own full-time business. (1) In the post 9/11 economy Richardson's business changed; their instructor-led training business began to taper off. They had the class to call me and the other consultants to let us know that less work was on the horizon. (2) Dave Rottschafer, who leads the devotional at JobSeekers three or four times a year, asked me if I wanted to look for office space with him. (3) My brother-in-law gave me a bunch of office furniture when his company upgraded. (4) More people approached me and asked if I could help with their job search (or the search of a departing employee). And (5) A friend gave me a book, "If You Want to Walk on Water, You've Got to Get Out of the Boat" by John Ortberg. It's about doing something bold; it's about responding to the call that God places on our hearts. Another friend gave me "Halftime: Moving from Success to Significance" by Bob Buford. With God orchestrating these five things, I had little choice but to do something bold. I rented an office and incorporated my business.
God was -- and is -- at work in my career. By God's grace, it's been a very rewarding few years. The reward comes when someone says I made a difference in their journey of faith, or when they say they found a job that is ideal for them, or simply that they have received hope and encouragement from the JobSeeker ministry. This has happened 20 times in the past 15 days – no joke, no exaggeration – clients (9), former clients (3) and JobSeekers (8) are finding jobs. I told some friends recently that I serve at God's pleasure -- and I hope he wants me to do this for a long time to come!
Here are three key lessons I've learned and want to share with you:
1. Pray. Pray for wisdom and discernment. God will speak to you through others, through assessments, during times of quite reflection, or in the middle of a parade (this really happened to a JobSeeker in July 2004 at the PTC Independence Day parade).
2. Work hard. Work hard at what you believe God wants you to pursue. Ecclesiastes 9:10a says, "Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with all your might."
3. Be open when God leads you in a different destination. If you are on the wrong path, he will lead you where he wants you to go -- as long as you seek him with all your heart.
God is at work in your career.
Friends, I can assure you that God is at work in your career. He has a plan and a purpose for your life and career; plans to prosper you and not harm you, plans to give you a future with hope. I know that no matter where you are now, no matter where you think you are going, he can lead you to where he wants you to be. Whatever he has in mind for you is better than what you've asked for.
See you tomorrow at the place where we experience God's abundant grace!

2. Success Story: Proactive, Positive and Prayerful – Roach Lands a Job
We love to hear from you when you land a new position. Please write and let us know how you found your job, what you learned from the experience, and how JobSeekers helped you.
Last week five of our 48 members came to JobSeekers to say "farewell and good luck." Linda was one of them. For those of you who couldn't be there last week, here is her story. Congratulations, good luck and God bless you Linda!
- - - - -
Hello Dave!
Good news, yes, the torch has passed to me – I received, and accepted, a job offer...Work begins Monday...
I lost my job on July 29th and the very next morning I attended my first JobSeekers meeting, based on a recommendation from two people I knew. It made the difference from spiraling downward to remaining positive. Little did I know that I'd also become friends with some very cool people, and that we'd form a small accountability group; accountable for meeting goals that we set each week. Thank you for encouraging everyone at JobSeekers, Dave, and for all you and the Ship's Crew do to help job seekers. You have an outstanding program, an outstanding crew, and the messages and exercises are always very meaningful. Linda Wells is also to be thanked for her continued presence, and willingness to provide free classes. Everyone needs to attend them!
Above all, God was with me, and I praise and thank him for being able to even share this news. I received a text message from a friend the first few days after the loss of my job. She knew I was feeling down and she confirmed that the King of all Kings had a plan for me and was on my side and that His plan would be revealed when He was ready. I believed it and read it whenever I was tempted to feel "down." I was diligent, daily, in my job search for two solid months, 8:30 AM – 5:30 PM. Every Monday through Friday, I got up, showered, dressed for work and went upstairs to the home office. I kept a positive attitude...I was busy networking, researching, responding to some ads, networking some more, and learning more about LinkedIn – an invaluable tool, by the way! I didn't rest much outside of job searching. I started volunteering more at my church and met some awesome people who have been praying for me as well.
God rewarded me for my diligence, my faith in Him, and my servant heart. Yesterday I sat down to have my lunch, and before I asked for the blessing of the food, I said the Lord's Prayer and prayed about my job search and asked God to forgive me for starting to feel some frustration again. I said I knew that He had a plan and only He knew when and where this job would happen to be. I had interviewed with two companies almost two weeks ago and had not heard back from them, even though I had left email and voice messages. I needed to hear something – if I was being considered, or if I should cross them off my list. I prayed that God would send me some message today, if one of these jobs was meant to be. You know the rest. God is good.
My best to you and JobSeekers,
(name withheld)

In October (10/12/2000) I called a friend to do some networking. Debbie said they had a position with her company that was just what I was looking for. The only problem was that the person needed to be located in Portland or Seattle. I ditched that right away. After pausing for a few seconds, Debbie said I would be perfect for another position that was open: senior training consultant. I interviewed in Philadelphia on the day Bush and Gore tied. The interview included an "audition" for Linda Richardson, the CEO. It was, at that point, the most frightening experience of my life.
The key to Debbie recommending me for the position was the fact that she had seen me present many times at the local ASTD meetings -- an association of trainers. The lesson here is to get involved in professional associations; but don't just go -- take on a leadership role!
God was at work in my career.
The key to me winning that job was the fact that I'd been leading the JobSeeker meetings for about six months. Each week, I had an audience of about 20 professionals, which happens to be the same size and level of group that Richardson works with. I didn't realize it, but God was giving me a rehearsal each week in preparation for that audition. When the Linda Richardson walked out of the room after my audition, the COO said, "Oh she loved you!" She went on to explain that Linda had interviewed thousands of trainers and only a handful had ever been hired. Upon reflection, I doubt I would have made it if I'd interviewed even six weeks sooner. As I led those JobSeeker meetings in the summer of 2000, God was at work in my career.
My time with Richardson made me a much stronger career coach and outplacement consultant; I wouldn't trade the experience for anything. I've taught consultative selling skills at companies like Dell, Bank of America, Sears, GlaxoSmithKline and KPMG Consulting. I have incorporated what I learned at Richardson into my ministry and my business. As I traveled all over the country in 2001, 2002 and 2003, God was at work in my career.
The contract job was a stepping-stone to something better.
Little did I realize that working for Richardson was merely preparation for running my own business. I led a lot of role-plays at Richardson, and one thing that was sorely lacking at my previous outplacement company was rehearsals for networking and interviewing. The sales and communications skills I taught at Richardson are very easily transferred to job search. Turns out it was ideal training for me and my new business.
As I mentioned, the job allowed me to be in town more Friday's than not. Without any effort on my part, I often found myself flying back to Atlanta on a Thursday night. The contract work also allowed me to do career coaching on an ad hoc basis; nothing dangerous here, the majority of my income was coming from Richardson. But I was developing my own strategy, tools and skills to start my own business.
Five clear signals.
Five things happened in quick succession that proved to me beyond a reasonable doubt that God wanted me to take the plunge into my own full-time business. (1) In the post 9/11 economy Richardson's business changed; their instructor-led training business began to taper off. They had the class to call me and the other consultants to let us know that less work was on the horizon. (2) Dave Rottschafer, who leads the devotional at JobSeekers three or four times a year, asked me if I wanted to look for office space with him. (3) My brother-in-law gave me a bunch of office furniture when his company upgraded. (4) More people approached me and asked if I could help with their job search (or the search of a departing employee). And (5) A friend gave me a book, "If You Want to Walk on Water, You've Got to Get Out of the Boat" by John Ortberg. It's about doing something bold; it's about responding to the call that God places on our hearts. Another friend gave me "Halftime: Moving from Success to Significance" by Bob Buford. With God orchestrating these five things, I had little choice but to do something bold. I rented an office and incorporated my business.
God was -- and is -- at work in my career. By God's grace, it's been a very rewarding few years. The reward comes when someone says I made a difference in their journey of faith, or when they say they found a job that is ideal for them, or simply that they have received hope and encouragement from the JobSeeker ministry. This has happened 20 times in the past 15 days – no joke, no exaggeration – clients (9), former clients (3) and JobSeekers (8) are finding jobs. I told some friends recently that I serve at God's pleasure -- and I hope he wants me to do this for a long time to come!
Here are three key lessons I've learned and want to share with you:
1. Pray. Pray for wisdom and discernment. God will speak to you through others, through assessments, during times of quite reflection, or in the middle of a parade (this really happened to a JobSeeker in July 2004 at the PTC Independence Day parade).
2. Work hard. Work hard at what you believe God wants you to pursue. Ecclesiastes 9:10a says, "Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with all your might."
3. Be open when God leads you in a different destination. If you are on the wrong path, he will lead you where he wants you to go -- as long as you seek him with all your heart.
God is at work in your career.
Friends, I can assure you that God is at work in your career. He has a plan and a purpose for your life and career; plans to prosper you and not harm you, plans to give you a future with hope. I know that no matter where you are now, no matter where you think you are going, he can lead you to where he wants you to be. Whatever he has in mind for you is better than what you've asked for.
See you tomorrow at the place where we experience God's abundant grace!

2. Success Story: Proactive, Positive and Prayerful – Roach Lands a Job
We love to hear from you when you land a new position. Please write and let us know how you found your job, what you learned from the experience, and how JobSeekers helped you.
Last week five of our 48 members came to JobSeekers to say "farewell and good luck." Linda was one of them. For those of you who couldn't be there last week, here is her story. Congratulations, good luck and God bless you Linda!
- - - - -
Hello Dave!
Good news, yes, the torch has passed to me – I received, and accepted, a job offer...Work begins Monday...
I lost my job on July 29th and the very next morning I attended my first JobSeekers meeting, based on a recommendation from two people I knew. It made the difference from spiraling downward to remaining positive. Little did I know that I'd also become friends with some very cool people, and that we'd form a small accountability group; accountable for meeting goals that we set each week. Thank you for encouraging everyone at JobSeekers, Dave, and for all you and the Ship's Crew do to help job seekers. You have an outstanding program, an outstanding crew, and the messages and exercises are always very meaningful. Linda Wells is also to be thanked for her continued presence, and willingness to provide free classes. Everyone needs to attend them!
Above all, God was with me, and I praise and thank him for being able to even share this news. I received a text message from a friend the first few days after the loss of my job. She knew I was feeling down and she confirmed that the King of all Kings had a plan for me and was on my side and that His plan would be revealed when He was ready. I believed it and read it whenever I was tempted to feel "down." I was diligent, daily, in my job search for two solid months, 8:30 AM – 5:30 PM. Every Monday through Friday, I got up, showered, dressed for work and went upstairs to the home office. I kept a positive attitude...I was busy networking, researching, responding to some ads, networking some more, and learning more about LinkedIn – an invaluable tool, by the way! I didn't rest much outside of job searching. I started volunteering more at my church and met some awesome people who have been praying for me as well.
God rewarded me for my diligence, my faith in Him, and my servant heart. Yesterday I sat down to have my lunch, and before I asked for the blessing of the food, I said the Lord's Prayer and prayed about my job search and asked God to forgive me for starting to feel some frustration again. I said I knew that He had a plan and only He knew when and where this job would happen to be. I had interviewed with two companies almost two weeks ago and had not heard back from them, even though I had left email and voice messages. I needed to hear something – if I was being considered, or if I should cross them off my list. I prayed that God would send me some message today, if one of these jobs was meant to be. You know the rest. God is good.
My best to you and JobSeekers,

Prayer bullets
GEN members, the message below comes from Don & Joanna Madlena, who worked with Douglas County's Go Tell Crusade, and who continue to email area churches with prayer requests. They've sent out a special prayer request for jobseekers this week; read on.
Dear Community Prayer Team,
We are inviting you to be a part of our Community Prayer Team. What does that look like? Well, we are not sure yet; however, we would like to start by sending out Community Prayer Bullets, kind of like we did with the GoTell Prayer Bullets, but broader in scope. These will be little prayer reminders and urgent prayer requests, from you our local Church Family, that we will shoot out via email to you as soon as we know of them. Yes, Bullets at the speed of Prayer! Cute huh, but seriously, God knows our prayers before we even pray them, so there really isn't anything faster than Prayer. What a wonderful vehicle or tool, so to speak, to get urgent prayer requests quickly into the hands of Prayer Partners, Intercessors, Prayer Warriors, etc. to surround the Throne of Grace with sweet incense, the Prayers of the Saints. They will be sent out once or several times a day or maybe just once a week, as they are sent in to us by you. Please pass them along to other prayer partners and send us their emails and we will plug them in as well. And of course, we will prayerfully and carefully review each Prayer Request for content and confidentiality (please let us know), so not all requests will be sent out but will be prayed over.
In His Service,
Don Madlena
Here is your prayer bullet:
* Praise God for the miners in Chile being rescued after 69 days trapped in a mine. This is being hailed as a modern day miracle. The miners and their families are giving all the glory to God. Pray for complete healing mentally, emotionally and physically for all the miners and that many around the world would see God's hand through this miracle.
Here is your reminder bullet:
*Joblessness, we do have the God’s Employment Network on Monday evenings at 6:30 at First Presbyterian Church. Great support—practical and spiritual—for job seekers. - Barnabas Sprinkle
Also, please remember that FPC has Stephen Ministers (lay-people who are trained to offer faith-based support) who are available to pray with you every Monday evening, from 5:45 to 7 pm, in the First Presbyterian Church parlor. No advance notice is needed; just seek them out, and they will gladly join in prayer with you for any concerns you have.
