JOB SEARCH TEAMS
ACCOUNTABILITY PROGRAM
Career Network Ministry offers free job search accountability groups designed to support, motivate, and guide job seekers with actionable strategies during their career transition.

The program is open to both unemployed and employed individuals actively seeking a career transition, from all career stages - early career to executive level.

“As a recent graduate of the Job Search Accountability Teams, I can honestly say it was a game changer for me. I learned so much! Completely revamped my resume, other sheets to show case my skills, elevator pitches, improved my interview knowledge, how to research the company you're interested in or vice versa, proper social networking on LinkedIn, and lastly salary negotiations. I'm sure I've missed some stuff, but I promise anyone that is interested, it is absolutely worth the investment of time and work. I work in healthcare, and I was truly blessed to have a new role before the end of the workshop and, I still wanted to complete it. It's that good! Thank you Bob for such an amazing organization and to all the wonderful people who are a part of it!"
