JumpSTART Your Career...

″It will really make a difference in my approach to looking for a job to know that networking is the most effective way to find one. By following the workshop suggestions I have started getting in touch with my network to begin my search. Learning about behavioral interviews was something new to me! Knowing and practicing some real life interview questions makes me feel more prepared. And knowing the kind of questions that will be asked in an interview will help me prepare in advance. I have a better understanding of the kind of information I need to gather and experiences I need to review in order to do well.″

″When the workshop started, I was lost. Now through the assessments, quizzes and discussions, I have a clearer picture of the kind of life and career I want. The values, lifestyles and work environment assessments really helped me decide what I want my career to look like. I am more in control of my life and feel better organized to begin looking for work. And I loved interacting with the other students in teams and sharing experiences– even though we were all very different, we discovered a lot of things we had in common.″

″At 62 I am deciding what to do with the rest of my life. So when I came to JumpStart I wasn’t sure what to expect, but the leaders at JumpStart encouraged me to do new things and to reach out and meet new people. With the knowledge I gained in the workshop classes, I have helped my husband rework his resume for a new job and who knows what wonderful, fun job may lie just around the corner for me! I really appreciate all I learned from JumpSTART! It was motivational and educational; and it has helped me continue to grow.″

″I want to thank you again for offering this wonderful class. It really showed me that I have a lot of potential and plenty of options. I have been at the same job for so long that I started to get comfortable and accepting of my unsatisfactory situation. Twelve years is a long time to be with the same company, so I am ready to take action! Thank you so much for your help and I will keep you posted on how things are going.″

″Thanks for the opportunity to meet and get to know others who were also trying to define where they want to go in the future. It was great to know that I am not the only one who was unsure about her direction. We all went through the process together creating written plans and helping each other in teams. The information was presented in a clear and understandable way and I liked that we were stepped through each process. The teachers really cared about helping us become successful. It was great!″

″I thoroughly enjoyed the sessions. I have grown so much from taking the personality profile and from the introduction to ″emotional intelligence″. The activities, lessons and homework assignments have helped me narrow down what I will most likely pursue. And I have my resume and dark suit ready for my interview. The workshops helped raise my confidence level and focus my attention on what I need to do to obtain meaningful work!″
