Prepare for an Event

Are you new to Career Connectors?

Welcome! We are thrilled you have found the Career Connectors website. If you are in career transition, we look forward to walking through this journey with you. When you attend one of our events, you’ll be equipped with resources and connections. You’ll also enjoy a smile, gain some motivation and feel an overwhelming sense of hope. You can do this! We are excited for what lies in your future!

Career Connectors is a nonprofit 501(c)3 organization dedicated to connecting professionals in career transition to hiring companies and quality resources. We are primarily event driven; connecting people and resources at events. We bring in professional career speakers to deliver content that is relevant and actionable to current professionals. We also bring in three to four hiring companies per event. You will hear them speak and then get one on one face time to talk about their company, culture and open positions. The last hour is dedicated to providing you services and networking time to talk directly to the speakers. Free professional services include resume review/critique, business portraits, social media, LinkedIn coaching and educational opportunities.

We are not a staffing company so we will not be able to job search for you.  We will provide you professional resources, information and connections so you can move forward quickly.

What to Expect as a First Time Guest

We are thrilled you have chosen Career Connectors as part of your career transition journey.  Our mission is to connect you with all the resources that you need to land into your new position quickly.  Attending networking events can often be overwhelming, so below are some tips on what to expect and how to prepare.

  1. What to Wear:  This is a professional networking group so you will feel most comfortable if you wear business casual or better.  This is a great opportunity to network with other professionals, including recruiters that are actively hiring.  This is your time to make a stellar first impression!
  2. What to Bring:  Bring your resume, a pen and some paper for notes.  If you don’t have your resume done, that’s okay!  Bring anything you have as we have professional resume writers at every meeting to provide feedback on your resume.  Bring your laptop if you’d like.  We have LinkedIn coaches ready to help with your profile.  If you have a business card, they are useful as well.
  3. Where to Go:  Pull directions, logistics and the address from your registration confirmation.  Printing your registration is not necessary.  There is ample parking at all sites with signs pointing you towards the correct building.  It may take you a few extra minutes to find the correct room location so arrive about 30 minutes early.  Arriving early also allows you time for open networking and to introduce yourself to some of the volunteers and speakers.
  4. Events Overview:  The events consist of 3 main components.
    • The first part is dedicated to relevant career transition speakers and community resources.  Every meeting has a primary keynote speaker that is motivating, energetic and relevant to your transition.
    • The second part is dedicated to hiring companies.  Each event typically has 3-4 hiring companies that will showcase their company, culture and positions.
    • The last hour is dedicated to pure networking and job search assistance.  You will be able to speak directly with the career experts, community resources and hiring companies.  Each event has a plethora of resources including resume review,  professional photos, LinkedIn coaching and more.

Testimonials

Career Connectors offered me a one-stop-shopping capability for all of the coaching, resources and connections I needed to perfect my job searching skills.  The package of services, and support I found while attending these workshops over the past 7 months was unique to, and more productive than any other networking venues I attended. I am thrilled to share that I’ve landed with B/E Aerospace in Tucson.  I recommend to all Job Seekers to find out what works for you, and exploit it for best r… 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 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

I took advantage of Career Connectors when I found myself unexpectedly out of work and back in AZ.  The ease in using their website to locate meetings and identify subject matter at their weekly meetings kept me informed and engaged.  Their meetings are interesting and provide relevant and useful information toward getting into the right job.  They say that a network event is what you make of it … with Career Connectors they create the events and provide the resources you need to land your next … 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
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
