Why are champions considered to be winners regardless of the types of challenges being met – in sports, in sales, in all areas of academics? Is it possible for job searchers to be “champions” when it comes to landing the job of your dreams – one that brings an increase in salary, better benefits, and opportunities for career advancement? The new three-week Expert Speaker Series being offered by the St. Jude Career Alliance Ministry will focus on how the “champion way” to job searches helps ensure career advancement opportunities. Beginning with its Wednesday morning meeting on December 4 and continuing through December 18, 9:00-10:30 AM, at St. Jude Catholic Church in Allen, TX, this series will define proven steps for a well-organized job search plan that significantly increases long-term success.
Attendance at this Expert Speaker Series is free of charge. It is also open to all people of any faith, ethnicity, age, etc. Everyone is welcome.
