Helping Job Seekers Get Answers October 26, 2010

We invite all job seekers to our meeting on the Tuesday, Oct. 26. We meet in the St. Mary Immaculate Parish Faith Sharing Room at 15629 S. Route 59 in Plainfield. There is no cost to attend, pre-registration is not required and everyone is welcome.

If you are new to networking, come for a 6:30 pm introduction to networking tools like the Handbill and the Elevator Speech.

At 7:00 pm, our program begins. Experts from Will County Workforce Services, Catholic Charities and others will present information and answer your questions on government and social services available to help job seekers cope with job hunt, emotional and financial issues.

Panel Members Include:
- Mary Gajcak, Job Seeker Services, Workforce Services of Will County
- Michelle Slocum, Catholic Charities, Joliet Diocese
- Tim Stetenfeld, Financial Issues facing Job Seekers, Edward Jones
- Tom Nosal, Insurance Issues facing Job Seekers, Employment Ministry Coach

And you can then meet with our volunteer coaches (each an experienced hiring
manager) for a one-on-one work session to get your resume and handbill reviewed,
develop networking or interviewing skills, or talk with a person who cares about
your spiritual/emotional/financial help needs.

Our future programs include:
