Are you becoming concerned your carefully thought-out job search plan lacks the missing ingredient that will enable you to have your dream job – a higher level position with increased salary and more benefits? Beginning with its Wednesday morning meeting on January 8, 9:00-11:30 AM, and continuing through Wednesday, February 5, 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 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
Beginning in January 2020, the Be Mission Critical curriculum will include a new section on job search positive attitudes. “A positive attitude is often the missing ingredient in what could be a successful job search,” said Jack Bick, Certified Career Coach practicing in Collin County, TX, and the Be Mission Critical creator. “The hiring process is changing rapidly with higher competition and more confusion caused by impersonal hiring processes. An applicant with an upbeat approach stands out like a beacon. After researching this topic, I incorporated a new section on the power of positive attitudes during a job search into the curriculum.”
The Be Mission Critical workshop targets three specific audiences:
- Those Who Are Unemployed/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.
