New Meeting Formats

After 10 years, Cobb JobSeekers is making agenda changes beginning in September, 2010. While we will continue to meet every Tuesday at The Varsity, the format and meeting starting times are changing.

JobSeekers meets every week from 7:30 AM – 9 AM at The Varsity at Town Center Mall.

The new alternating agenda includes:

  • 1st and 3rd Tuesday of each month is a structured 2 hour program featuring “Understanding your Purpose” and that “God has a plan for you” in the first portion followed by tactical and practical job search advice and information from industry leaders to get you into your next job.

  • Every other Tuesday (2nd, 4th and 5th if there is one) is a more laid back large group networking event that is carefully facilitated to ensure the right connections are made. Special Interest Groups are formed and small accountability groups are encouraged, using the C3G format.

  • Doors are open at 7:00 am every Tuesday for early networking opportunities.

Some inspirational words from Phil. Getting in step to peace with God.

Would you like to have the bible come to you? See how you can get a daily message from the bible in a format that is meaningful in today's context. Also, how about a complete on-line bible in a variety of languages? Use these valuable tools to make your life richer and bring the word of God into your life. He may not call you on your cell phone but His word can get to you on the Internet.


Share a Life Saver: If you have a favorite quotation or saying that you would like to share with other jobseekers, please feel free to submit it to us for use in the Life Savers column. We are always interested in providing help and a good Life Saver may be just what someone needs in their personal time of trial. Send your favorite Life Saver to our Webmaster to "fred@jobseekers.org"
