Tues. Feb 8, Employment Ministry Networking Session

We invite all job seekers to our meeting on the Tuesday, Feb 8th. We meet in the St. Mary Immaculate Parish Faith Sharing Room at 15629 S. Route 59 in Plainfield.

We listen, support, coach and help job seekers succeed. There is no cost to attend, pre-registration is not required, and everyone is welcome. Our members represent all ages, work backgrounds and future desires. Dress is casual.

If you are new to networking, come at 6:30 pm for an introduction to networking tools like the Handbill and the Elevator Speech. At 7:00 pm, you can participate in a structured "Networking Session" to practice skills and expand your network. Bring at least 20 copies of your handbill or resume.
