Job Forum Feedback From Job Hunters

“The Job Forum came into my life at a moment when I was navigating an unexpected career transition and initially focused almost entirely on finding my next job. What I’ve appreciated most is how the community has encouraged me to think more broadly, not just about what position I should apply for next, but about the experiences and skills I’ve built, the problems I care about solving, and the different directions those could take me.

Through conversations with Janet and others in The Job Forum community, I’ve been encouraged to expand my network, approach people I might never have thought to approach, and explore possibilities beyond a traditional job search, including how my background in epidemiology and public health might lend itself to new kinds of work or even entrepreneurial ideas. The generosity with which people have offered their time, perspectives, and connections has been remarkable.

For me, The Job Forum has become much more than a job search resource. It has given me a space to step back during a difficult transition, rethink what I want my next chapter to look like, and recognize that a career transition can also be an opportunity to imagine possibilities I hadn’t previously considered.”

 

“The Job Forum 1 on 1 sessions have helped me get my resume and job search started and in order.
The weekly Wed Job Forum and Job Forum industry sessions have been very helpful to me to understand the job market.”

“Most recently The Job Forum suggested sharper targeting- and I like the idea as they suggest -to target midsized companies and I am taking a look at mid-sized companies and contacting the ones that are a fit with my past industry background.”

“It is so good to meet a group of people at The Job Forum to understand the real dynamics of the job search process and know I am not alone.”
