WELCOME Job Seekers, Employers and Volunteers.

Our Mission
Scottsdale Job Network (SJN) provides job transition training, personal connections, access to resources and moral support for job seekers through a Valley-wide network of passionate volunteers.

Meetings
SJN meets on the first and third TUESDAY mornings, from 9:00-11:30 AM at space offered by our neighbor:

Temple Chai
4645 East Marilyn Road
Phoenix, Arizona 85032

SAFETY of all is a priority.
As visitors attend SJN meetings at Temple Chai, we ask that vehicles enter from Marilyn Road approaching the property from the eastern most driveway at the “Temple Chai Entrance” sign, and then exit onto Acoma. In the parking lot, follow the large arrows painted on the pavement to ensure a safe flow of traffic. Keep the speed low and watch for pedestrians, including school children, crossing the parking lot. Thank you!

UPCOMING OCTOBER EVENTS

Developing Your Resume

Have you written multiple versions of your resume? Do you change it time after time and wonder if the document is effective? Have you been posting it on the Internet with no results? This presentation will take you through the steps of writing a resume; learning resume formats, headings and what to include; how to write an effective summary; adding accomplishments and posting your resume online. Bring your resume and you will work to improve it.

Meeting: Tues, October 21, 2008, 9 AM – 11:30 AM

Creating Leads, Networking
Facilitator: George Fleming
Career Coach, Momentum Coaching

Did you know that 75-80% of jobs are attained through networking? Believe it or not—it’s true! Most people know what networking is – and don’t do it – OR some think they are networking, but aren’t doing it correctly. This presentation will take you through the steps of the networking process, which is likely not as difficult as you may think. Learning to network correctly will improve your skills in this key aspect of the job search process, giving you more control of your job search.

Scottsdale Job Network (SJN) is a non-profit community group of business leaders and volunteers. We provide education in the job search process and all attendees have the opportunity to meet and work with people who offer support and guidance during employment transition.

SJN is not a job placement forum. We do not match candidates to openings nor do we send resumes to employers or recruiters. There is no guarantee of employment either directly through this group or as a result of association with SJN.

There are no membership dues or meeting fees to participate, and SJN exists on donations. Scottsdale Job Network is a charitable organization in the State of Arizona and has applied to the IRS for non-profit 501(c)(3) status.
