Career Connectors Launches Rebranding

Career Connectors Rebranding Refocus

Career Connectors to Roll out New Format to Better Meet the Needs of Candidates and Companies in Arizona

Gilbert, AZ (September 4, 2018) – Career Connectors, Arizona’s fastest growing career development nonprofit organization, is announcing the rebranding of their career resource format. In order to better meet the needs of the evolving population of candidates across the state, Career Connectors will be restructuring the way they offer services to individuals who are unemployed and underemployed, as well as those who are simply looking for a different way of moving forward in their career in a new and unique way.

Career Connectors is fortunate to have the generous support of Six Degrees, a branding and marketing agency in Scottsdale. “We are proud to support the evolution of the Career Connectors brand and signal all the great things this compassionate and highly effective organization is poised to achieve as it moves into its second decade,” reports Frank Schab, CEO of Six Degrees.

Since 2009, Career Connectors has offered services free of charge to professionals in career transition at several Maricopa County venues. With locations in Gilbert, Scottsdale, Phoenix, and Glendale, the organization schedules keynote speakers who are career subject matter experts, enlists hiring companies, and offers many job-oriented assistance from a variety of professionals, including business portraits by photographers, LinkedIn coaching, and resume assistance. As one of the top networking associations in Phoenix, as awarded by the Phoenix Business Journal, Career Connectors has helped countless people land the career of their dreams through the varied opportunities they have made available.

While the structure of the organization has served the community very well, Jessica Pierce, Executive Director of Career Connectors, understands that to continue to grow, the organization would need to refresh the way they offer their services. Although the venues are strategically located around the Valley, Pierce realizes not everyone has the ability to physically attend these no-cost events, especially if they are currently employed even at a part-time level. She is excited about the upcoming expanded services the organization will be offering that will be available for people throughout the Phoenix area.

Pierce enthusiastically says, “In order to continue to make a difference and reach the people who can really use all the help we offer so they can make a fresh start in a new career, we knew we had to revamp the way we offer those services. We wanted to create new and exciting opportunities for those who are brand new to the job market, as well as for those who have been working for 20 or 30 years.”

The changes Career Connectors will be making will reach even more people, expanding the organization’s scope, while continuing to offer expert advice and hiring opportunities. All at no charge. Even the new logo that was created to accompany the rebranding elicits the idea of a refreshed approach to the way those in career transition are looking for jobs.

Leslie B.
I wanted to take the time to write you to express my sincerest gratitude for all that you and those who work with you do for so many of us!I lost my job due to our medical office being closed. Your company came highly recommended by an HR person who worked with us as employees to help give us a hand up to become employed again through a very generous program provided by my employer. I am employed again in a job that I really love. It came with wonderful, kind, encouraging management and coworker… Read more

I just wanted to reach out to you and say Thank you to you, Career Connectors and the whole Team! So let me explain why, while I’ve known of Career Connectors for many years, I never thought that I would need employment services or guidance before. On September 19th 2019 I found myself being let go from my job. I later the next day saw the Career Connectors event at Central Christian Church Gilbert Campus coming up on Facebook and signed up for it. While attending my first Career Connectors even… Read more

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.
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

After one year of unemployment, I have been employed with an excellent company at a job which is perfect fit for my experience and desires for many months, through the efforts of the devoted volunteers at Career Connectors. I and my family are eternally grateful. Sincere thanks!
Jeff A.
Thank you for all you do! I’ve been nine loooong months looking for a full-time position and Career Connectors was a real life-line. I was pretty discouraged by the time I found your organization on-line and first visited. The speaker provided some great information but most importantly, encouragement and hope. The panel discussion on resumes was incredibly helpful! Last month I had the opportunity to sit with Brenda and she suggested I really pare back all but the last 10 years of experience an… Read more

This was terrific! Very successful. I’m glad I came!
Maggie D.
Career Connectors has given me the courage to move forward and the mindset to move out of this moment. I have gained encouragement, opportunity, and a stronger skill-set in each meeting I have attended. This interaction has given me the vision to see my God given talents, the realization of how much I still have to offer, and the ability to put value in my career, instead of only seeing value by a job.

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
