One of the pleasures that I have every month is to volunteer at four different sites around the Phoenix metro area, helping people who are seeking their next career adventure. I am fortunate that my company allows me the time to do this volunteering–it is a great way to start those days! So, want to know more about these F-R-E-E opportunities for career-seekers?
A wonderful non-profit organization based in Gilbert, AZ started from humble roots when its founder started helping people with resume development at a local church in 2009, after the housing bubble burst and many people were “right-sized,” laid off, or had their jobs shipped overseas. A couple years later, Jessica Pierce expanded her work and started this amazing non-profit organization with a mission to help people get the guidance and resources they need to land their next career…not just a job.
This organization is
They meet four weeks each month at different locations in the Phoenix Central Valley area:
First Thursday: GCU Convention Center
Second Thursday: Highlands Church (N. Scottsdale)
Third Thursday: Calvary Community Church (Glendale)
Fourth Tuesday: Central Christian Church (Gilbert)
I invite everyone in the Phoenix metro area who are interested in moving into a career, moving between careers, or moving up in their careers to come check out this fantastic program! Click HERE to see the current schedule (you can register for F-R-E-E right at the site).
The keynote presenter provides insights into the selected topic for the meeting, and there are:
Networking opportunities
3-6 hiring companies which present current job openings across a variety of professional and skill areas
Professional resume writers from the Resume Writers Council of Arizona
LinkedIn and Social Media coaches
Financial coaching
Career coaching
Professional photographer with a mobile digital studio for a professional head shot
and MORE…
The best part? All of this is F-R-E-E when you attend!
It only takes three things to jump-start your career quest:
GET UP — GET OUT — GET GOING
You can do it, and we are here to help! SEE YOU THERE!
