The Job Forum: Helping people find their next great job
Mission, Vision, Values of The Job Forum
Mission
The Job Forum mission is to provide a path to employment for all in the SF Bay Area region via valuable job hunting advice, job search networking, contacts, job hunting methods for those “out of work” business, and non-profit workers who are looking for a job here in the San Francisco SF Bay Area.
The Job Forum is a volunteer organization. Volunteers share practical help for job hunters and guide them, refer them, and give valuable suggestions to job hunters. We advise job hunters how to better navigate.
At The Job Forum, we provide training in effective job search skills, offer connections if we can, and encouragement at a time of isolation, discouragement, and overwhelming challenges. We provide all of this for free or in low-cost sessions organized, created, and delivered weekly by volunteers from Bay Area companies and nonprofits who advise job hunters.
We believe all Bay Area residents should be able to work and become part of the business economy. We build a network for people in the SF Bay Area business and non-profit communities. We help businesses find great candidates, and we connect candidates to great companies or organizations they may not be considering, so they can get a job.
Vision
We teach job seekers and facilitate a faster return to work, via a more effective job search process. We believe and envision that people helping people makes the modern job search much less impersonal, complicated, and challenging.
Values
All job hunters are welcome. Job Forum volunteers work hard to help all job hunters who come, especially those who are unemployed residents, new to the Bay Area, immigrants, or those who lack professional networks because they are from traditionally undervalued communities.
