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.

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

A good friend told me of her success using Career Connectors networking.  She landed an interview and later, a job in her field, after attending one networking event.  So, when it was my turn, I had to check it out. I was starting to get the blues about being unemployed but the speaker lifted me out of the dumps and put my life back in perspective. So many people were there to help and offer support!   Just by networking that day, I was given a job lead that has led to two interviews and a… Read more

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 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 own a Leadership Company, and have enjoyed attending the Career Connector events. With gratitude I listen to the speakers you line up… they offer phenominal and practical information. What has struck me each time has been the audience. My heart hurts for them. They are in a desperate place in their lives. I have had the opportunity speak with a few of the people in attendance, and they have shared their stories… I walk away thankful to God for the opportunity to meet these people and they … Read more

I want to follow up with you about the position I had hoped to get. I got it! And thanks to Jack Milligan’s Salary Negotiation talk, for the first time I didn’t feel like an idiot when I accepted a job. No one else offers that kind of information.  Thank you for all you do. I appreciate your efforts to bless others.  May you and yours be blessed every day. Thank you for everything,
Cheryl
I just wanted to let you know that there’s a reason why I haven’t come to any recent Career Connectors events. It’s because I found a job! This past week, I started working as a data scientist for a technology startup in the financial services space that’s based in downtown Phoenix. It’s an ideal opportunity for me to break into the data science industry with an exciting company. I wanted to thank you and your staff for putting together all of your fantastic networking events and bringing … Read more

When I was laid off last year from the company I’d worked with for over 14 years, I actually found I had an even BIGGER job ahead of me. With an outdated resume, no interview skills, and a huge feeling of displacement, I went searching for help. Career Connectors was my savior. The program and its’ leaders were instrumental in rebuilding my confidence, providing the necessary tools and resources, and ultimately responsible for my landing a great position with a company that was featured at o… Read more
