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.

Testimonials

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.

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 am profoundly grateful for all of the support Career Connectors has provided during my recent job search – from the exceptional speakers to the participating employers, LinkedIn experts (Ted Robison is amazing with his individualized approach), resume experts, photographers, and of course the great opportunity to network! I felt like I had an army of support with me every single day. I appreciate all the time and effort invested by many and am particularly grateful for Jessica! You have a fi… 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

I just want to thank you and compliment you and your organization, all the people involved, for providing this free service to the people in the Phoenix area. Last August found me in the unforeseen, unplanned position of being without a job. This circumstance, anytime but especially being a single mom, is very unsettling, sometimes downright frightening and anxiety inducing. I began attending many of your weekly meetings through November, when a job opened for me. I found solace and guidance at … 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

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.
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
Todd S.
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

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
