During the last year we
have seen an improvement in the economy and less job seekers. In order
to provide better networking opportunities for members that are still in
the need of a job, we are going to link up with the St. Paul's Career
Networking Group. This group is larger and typically has about 50
attendees per meeting. This group also draws from a larger geographical
area. The St. Paul's group meets on the first and third Saturday from
September to June. There will be no meetings in July or August.
We will continue to act as
a liaison for our parishioners here at St. Greg's. Since our start in
September of 2003 we have had roughly 200 people contact us either
looking for employment or offering job openings. If you have a job lead
to share or are in career transition or looking for work we would still
like to hear from you. Please contact Bob at the above telephone # or
email address.
We would like to thank all
those that have supported the network over the last 2 years and
congratulate those that have found meaningful employment during the
period.
