Accountability Groups
Wednesdays & Thursdays
Accountability Groups provide an opportunity for small groups of people to meet and get practical in applying techniques, keeping momentum, and helping each other along in the journey to re-employment. Experience shows that those who regularly attend an Accountability Group find jobs more quickly than those who don't.
A portion of the Thursday Accountability Group meeting includes a LinkedIn Workshop, providing hands-on learning about LinkedIn and how it can be a valuable tool in your job search.
Try out a group! These help put "hands and feet" to the disciplines and techniques that P2E teaches and encourages. You'll also find the Personal Accountability Checklist available on this page!
Passport to Employment Resources
Job Search Resources
Networking: Networking, making connections with people, is probably the most important thing you can do to achieve professional success. Your network includes business acquaintances, personal connections, and community contacts.
You should always be networking, no matter what your current job status is, because you never know when you will need to call on your contacts or when they may have a lead on an exciting new opportunity.
