What is a job club?

You have always heard that there is strength in numbers and that can include the process of finding a job. Of course your success at finding employment will ultimately fall on your shoulders but it is always good to have a little help. That’s why you should consider starting or joining a job club.

 

 
The concept of a job club comes from the practice of networking which is a very popular job hunting device. A job club serves two main purposes:
  1. One reason a job club is a good idea is the information that you receive from others who are in the same situation as you are. By sharing information about companies or employment fields you are helping yourself as well as others. 
  2. The social contact and encouragement that you receive will help you stay positive and driven through the difficult time of looking for work.

 

Where can you find information about a job club? 
Do a search on the internet for job clubs in your area or check the local newspapers. Also contact the public library to see if there is a club in your area.

 

Can’t find one then start a job club. Put an ad in the paper looking for people who want to join a local job club. If you can’t find enough participation in a local club start one on Facebook or other social media sites.
