About Career Connect
And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose. Romans 8:28
Career Connect at Cross Pointe Church is a volunteer ministry designed to assist members and regular attendees in job transition. A job transition issue can range from unemployment, under employment or wanting to investigate or seek out a new job or career because the one you currently hold is not fulfilling.
Meetings are held in and around Room A400 on the fourth floor of the Administration Building on the second Wednesday of each month, beginning at 7:00 p.m. The group is open to any regular attender or member at Cross Pointe and you can join in anytime. The meeting format is typically:
- Arrive, register and round table discussions and networking (30 minutes)
- Subject matter expert/speaker presentation with short Q&A following (60 minutes)
- Requested topics, helps and breakouts (30 minutes)
This Ministry is affiliated with the nationally known Crossroads Career Network operating in over 150 churches. Some of the topics covered in our Career Connect meetings include:
- Networking/netweaving dos and don'ts
- Financial and credit issues if unemployment or under employment is for an extended period of time
- Free discussion time and roundtable interface with participants
- Formulating a Job Exchange at Cross Pointe
- Resources available through the Georgia Department of Labor
- Private and public job resources available such a C3G, Goodwill Industries and others
- Interview Process dos and don'ts
- Research tips and techniques
- Your personal marketing plan and accountability
