Career Connectors Launches West Valley Location

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

 

Career Connectors Launches West Valley Location
Career Connectors Connects Job Seekers with Hiring Companies

Career Connectors Launches Monthly West Valley Event for Job Seekers
Glendale, AZ (October 3, 2017) – This year marks the start of Career Connectors’ presence in the West Valley with our first monthly event in Glendale for those who are unemployed or underemployed. The event will be held on October 19 9AM – noon at Calvary Community Church, located at 6060 West Bell Road, Glendale, AZ 85308.

Career Connectors is honored that Glendale Mayor Jerry Weiers will be on hand to kick off this inaugural event, along with representatives from the Economic Development departments of Avondale, Glendale, Peoria and WESTMARC. Bridgett McGowen-Hawkins will be the keynote speaker. The following companies will present after Bridgett’s presentation: Staff Logic, Arizona Department of Health Services, New Horizons Learning Center and Goodwill of Central & Northern Arizona.

WESTMARC and Career Connectors hosted Healthcare Career Expos in April (Peoria) and September (Avondale). However, the Expos are separate and different events from the monthly events planned that will mirror the events currently held in Gilbert, Scottsdale, and Phoenix. Career Connectors will meet at the Glendale location Oct 19 and Nov 16, skip December, then meet the 3rd Thursdays starting in January.

Career Connectors is different than other career events. Our events aren’t like the job fairs or networking events hosted by other organizations. Our focus is on connecting job seekers with hiring companies, while also guiding them to the many educational opportunities available to them. We also offer many free resources so attendees land into the career of their dreams.

Career Connectors’ mission is to connect professionals in career transition to hiring companies and quality resources. As Arizona’s fastest growing job seeker program, the organization hosts no-cost job seeker events in Chandler/Gilbert, Phoenix, and North Scottsdale. At each event, Career Connectors showcases hiring companies and offers free services that include educational opportunities, DISC assessments, resume review, LinkedIn, professional business portraits, networking tips, interview coaching, and one-on-one face time with hiring companies. Founded by Jessica Pierce in 2009, the 501(c)3 nonprofit organization has served more than 20,000 attendees and worked with over 300 hiring companies. For more information, visit CareerConnectors.org, or call 480-442-5806.

“Calvary is thrilled to partner with Career Connectors to encourage and provide resources to those who are seeking a future and a hope. These events should not only help one identify their skills and qualifications, but also connect them with employers who are currently looking to hire,” states Calvary Pastor Mark Martin.

Jessica Pierce, Executive Director of Career Connectors, concludes, “We are proud and excited to have a viable presence across the Valley and that we are able to offer unique opportunities to those seeking employment.”

Job seekers attending each Career Connectors event can ask questions and make immediate connections with potential employers.

Navigating the world of career transition can be an overwhelming experience.  In addition to the mechanics of transition (updated resume, career search strategies), there is the deeper need to connect to people who are in the same situation as you are.   For me, all of this was answered by Career Connectors!  Had it not been for this organization, I might still be sitting in my house, wondering what to do next!  At just one Career Connectors meeting you can be inspired by great speakers, … Read more

If you are a job seeker in transition or looking to find that new great position I highly recommend Career Connectors. The search process has changed significantly over the years and Career Connectors will provide you many tools that will allow you to stand out and demonstrate your unique value to potential employers. At each event I had the opportunity to “sharpen the saw” through top notch expert presentations on image portrayal, positive attitude, networking, social media presence, job… Read more

Networking helps, especially when you do not directly know anyone at a target company. I have attended 4 of your meetings and at one of them a company representative and recruiter presented. I was already familiar with this company, but she also said some other things in the presentation that made me take notice and created more interest on my part. I spoke with the recruiter at your event and she followed up the next week and from there I went on several phone interviews and on site interview t… Read more

I would like to share that I landed a contract position for 6 months with possible conversion to a permanent position on the team after those contract periods complete. I work on a team as an Instructional Designer and the team is virtual, which means I am able to work from home 100% of the time! I am very excited for the future of my career! I wanted to share that I sadly won’t be seeing you at Career Connector events for the next 6 months at the very least, and we’ll see how my performance … Read more

I’ve attended a few of your events in Gilbert and Scottsdale since returning to AZ and being an active job seeker. I’m happy to report that I’ve been offered a job! I’m over the moon about the offer and couldn’t be more grateful after a long, three month search (that definitely felt much longer…. 🙂 ). I want to thank you for your programs. You have excellent speakers who always energized me when I was needing it most. And your resume reviewer was great. She was a tough cookie with a red pen y… Read more

It was amazing, you guys did a great job! I found several potential companies!
Irene
Good news. I have landed. Thank you for your support throughout my job search journey. You and your organization has lots to offer besides the positive energy, uplifting of self confidence and immense networking opportunities. I am very appreciative of the efforts and time put forward by you and your team.
Kirtida A.
After a company layoff thrust me into the job market, Career Connectors was exactly what I needed to develop my networking skills. Networking is a job in itself, and the skills I learned helped me to land a temporary position just three months later that is now permanent. I believe in the Career Connectors mission and continue to volunteer as a way of expressing my appreciation for their support during a very tough time…thank you Career Connectors!
Diane N.
Thank you, Jessica. Although I wasn’t able to meet you personally, I was able to see you working with another applicant and was impressed with your efforts and the excellent platform that your team presented. Thank you very much.
