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.

The St. Clare of Assisi Job Search program is available to assist anyone who is unemployed or underemployed by offering small group support meetings, assistance with resume review and critiquing, email distribution of job market information, and mentoring on an individual basis. Our small group support meetings are conducted every other Wednesday evening 7pm – 9pm in the Library of St. Clare of Assisi School located at 15668 Clayton Road (Ballwin, Missouri 63011) between Kehrs Mills Road and Clarkson Road. The meetings are open to the public to attend and there is no cost associated with attendance. The first half of each meeting is focused on the “business” of job searching. Each participant is provided an opportunity to share the status of their job search and to request information, advice, and contact information from the group. The second half of the meeting is focused on the spiritual aspect of the job search. Each new participant is offered a booklet titled “The Spiritual Keys to a Successful Job Search .” We strongly believe that God must be an integral part of any job search. Since God Our Father is a loving, all-knowing God, He knows where our next job is coming from and when. Therefore, it is critical that we stay connected to God to assist us with our job search. Participants of the program are also added to an email distribution list in which current information relevant to the job search are made available for their use. Other job search assistance is provided on an individual basis including reviewing resumes and offering advice for improvement, one-on-one job search mentoring/coaching, and more.
