CLA Job Network

If you know more than 10 people you probably know someone who is unemployed or needs a change in jobs.  In today’s economy you may even be one of them. Unfortunately many people have been in their previous jobs for so long they may not know the best way to find a new job or they may simply not know where to look or have the resources necessary.

You can help though! If you know of job openings where you work, or anywhere else, please send them to Michael at gallops@bww.com. Michael forwards the job openings to those who have indicated they are in need of a job. If you prefer to send them anonymously just state that in the email.

If you are one of those in need of a job please let Michael know that as well.  You can also go to  http://finance.groups.yahoo.com/group/CLAJobs/ and join the Yahoo group. This simplifies sending out the job notices. Yahoo groups give you the option of receiving every email or a digest of emails. Of course right now there are very few emails going out – maybe an average of 1 per day.

Other ways you can help are to create profiles in LinkedIn.com and even Facebook. Upload your address book and you’ll probably be surprised how many people you know are already there!  We have a CLA Group page in Facebook that you can also join. Both Facebook and LinkedIn give those looking for jobs more networking ability. They can search for local people in similar jobs, ask for referrals and introductions, and in some cases even contact the hiring person directly.

Less useful but still important are sites like Plaxo and Twitter. Plaxo lets you keep your contact information (as much or as little as you want) up to date and available to everyone you are connected with. Twitter will let you reach out and communicate with people who can help you find a job.

Don’t forget about Monster.com and Careerbuilder.com. While they are primarily useful for those looking for technical jobs they do have listings for a variety of other jobs. And of course you can always Google “Job Networking Dallas” to find several other networking groups that might be useful.

Most importantly, remember that God is on control. Pray and trust Him. And know that we are here to support you and pray for you too!
