Support Meetings
Volunteers, or "Mentors", assist active job seekers and the under-employed in realizing their career goals. You do not have to be an executive or even a manager to benefit or to help others. Whether you work in accounting, sales or IT, there are a number of ways to make a real difference while making valuable business contacts and learning essential new skills. Guidance, Training and Support Meetings are conducted by many Chapters of CEN, check the CEN Event Calendar for a support meeting near you.
Be a Prisoner of Hope
No one wants to be enslaved whether it's from a job or a job search. In fact Christ died to set us free. But if there is one thing in this world that I will let imprison me, it's Hope. Zechariah 9:12 states, "Return to your fortress, O Prisoners of Hope; even now I announce that I will restore twice as much to you". God makes this promise to you also in your job search. It's easy to be troubled, experience anxiety, carry burdens and think negative thoughts that will keep you away from God's promise. Staying positive, trusting that God has you on the right path, being a Prisoner of Hope and doing your part in your job search is the recipe for success.

Our group, founded in Jan. 2003, offers assistance to the unemployed and underemployed, whether parishioners or not, whether Catholic or not. Whatever you may need help with in your job search, we can either help you directly or point you in the right direction. Being unemployed is serious business - and stressful. Maybe just talking with a volunteer about the problems you face may help. Or maybe you need spiritual direction/support, help with your resume, a networking contact or help with preparing for an interview. We can help with all stages of your job search from setting a direction for your search all the way through to helping negotiate a job offer. Probably the most beneficial service we offer is mentoring or coaching. If you are willing to meet in-person or on the phone once each week to discuss your status, to commit to a plan for the next week, and to report on the your success the next week, just let us know and we'll match you with a mentor/coach who can best help you and your situation. Every other week, members of the Holy Infant Employment Network, along with members of the St. Alban Roe group, meet with members of St. Clare of Assisi group in the St. Clare school library. Volunteers are needed. You can help in many different ways: - Provide job leads - let us know when your company has an opening. We will forward to our members.
