Find a New Career Pathway Forward

During the economic impact caused by the pandemic, The Job Forum has been at the forefront of supporting the growing group of mid-level and often older Bay Area employees who have lost jobs in the Covid-19 pandemic. Many of these individuals face a dramatic lack of career choices for jobs, and many of their industries have been devastated in the Bay Area and will not be coming back. Our volunteer panelists and workshop leaders help these individuals, and others, think of and explore and entirely new career areas and envision new pathways to work.

The Job Forum is virtual and welcomes job hunters on Wed and Thursday evenings at 6pm

Every Wed evening, managers from SF Bay Area companies volunteer and give job hunters advice and insider tips for how to conduct an effective job search.

Every Thursday evening, special panels of experts provide job seekers with ideas, skills, and in depth discussion and practice so that job hunters can be prepared to do their best in a job search.

Who are the job hunters who come to the Job Forum?

Job seekers are from the San Francisco Bay Area, and include recent newcomers to SF Bay Area from other the US states, or parts of the world.

The job hunters at the Job Forum meetings are all ages and stages of their careers. We see recent grads as well as those who have years of impressive career experience and everything in between. The job hunters at the Job Forum are typically well educated with college or graduate school degrees. Some are entrepreneurial and prefer to work for start-ups, others want jobs in midsize or large companies.

We see a mix of talented people including those who are looking for jobs focused on business jobs, or non-profit careers, or government or university employment.

At the Job Forum people seek jobs with job titles such as communications manager, engineer, product manager, marketing manager, social media specialist, project manager, finance or accounting manager, sales, customer service, administrative or operations manager, scientist, data manager, researcher, teacher, HR talent manager and the like.
