Are you becoming concerned about your prospects for future career advancement? Are you beginning to think that your present job skills are not enough to help you land your dream job – a higher level position with increased salary and more benefits? Beginning with its Wednesday morning meeting on September 11, 9:00 AM to noon, and continuing through Wednesday, October 9, the St. Jude Career Alliance Ministry will offer a career advancement workshop titled Be Mission Critical: Own Your Dream Career. This five-week program is designed to help participants crack the hidden job market via a pro-active, start-to-finish job search methodology. At the first session, each participant will receive an outline of this new program. However, the complete curriculum materials can be purchased for $20.00. These online book materials include:
- 12 Be Mission Critical Objectives
- 28 Helpful Work Sheets and Scripts
- 91 Insightful Check Lists
“The hiring process is changing rapidly with higher competition and more confusion caused by impersonal hiring processes,” said Jack Bick, Certified Career Coach practicing in Collin County, TX, and the Be Mission Critical creator. “For this reason, we have upgraded our curriculum from last year.”
The upgraded curriculum helps participants develop skills that will enable them to continuously move their careers forward. The Be Mission Critical workshop strives to guide participants to personalize each job search step to win not only their desired job, but also the career of their dreams. Participants will build their confidence, communications, control, and consistency.
The Be Mission Critical workshop targets three specific audiences:
- Those Who Are Underemployed and Seeking Suitable Employment
- Those Who Are Striving to Advance Their Careers; and
- Those Who Are Endeavoring to Make a Career Change
Attendance at this career advancement workshop is free of charge. It is also open to all people of any faith, ethnicity, age, etc. Everyone is welcome.
