Are you out of work? Or are you considering pursuing a new career field? If so you should take advantage of the ward employment specialist. This person has been specifically called to help ward members find work. This is a wonderful service that is available to every member of the church.
The ward employment specialist usually compiles a list of available jobs in the area. If you have any specific skills or talents you may want to mention them to the ward employment specialist, so that he can keep an eye out for your specific job qualifications and help. He may also post a list of available jobs on the bulletin board periodically.
The ward employment specialist can also help you write a new resume. She will help you to emphasize skills and put the best face forward. She may help you prepare for the interview process by practicing with you or giving you tips. If you need the help she can also help you to fill out a job application.
Another key role of the ward employment specialist is to help you to find contacts to find a job. He may be able to recommend that you speak to certain ward members to learn more about a career or a job opening. He may also be able to help you find classes to take to improve your job skills.
The church has other resources available to you when it comes to job hunting. You can visit the employment section of providentliving.org to learn more about them. If you live outside of the United States you may want to talk to your local leaders about the Perpetual Education Fund. This can help pay for classes so that you can improve your job skills. You can also visit the Jobs Blog on this board to learn tips as well.
