In this episode of Career Can Do, Mary Ann Faremouth chats with Mario Rodriguez and Rich Marsh of Between Jobs Ministry, a nonprofit organization dedicated to helping people navigate the new work world. Mario is the administrator of the Senior Manager’s Group, established to help those seeking senior manager positions. Rich is the leader of the Orange Job Search Work Team, as well as an author, editor, proofreader.
Between Jobs Ministry has over 50 volunteers and provides their services – which include job search and salary negotiation training – free of charge. They hold meetings every Wednesday morning, where they facilitate job search work teams, networking sessions, and resume workshops, and they invite recruiters to conduct short interviews and collect resumes.
Job search work teams are located all over Spring, Texas for the convenience of those who live further away.
A major theme that the job search work teams teach is self-care: if their members are going to do 40 hours a week of job searching, at least 10 of those hours are allocated for doing things that make them feel better about themselves, because job searches are tumultuous.
