Practical help. Invaluable hope.
WELCOME TO JOB NETWORKING
For over 30 years, Job Networking has been providing practical help and invaluable hope to members of our community who are experiencing employment challenges and transitions. We have been hosting face-to-face meetings since January, 2022 after a long 22 months of being in the ‘virtual’ world since the Pandemic hit. Please join us in person for help with interviewing skills, resume writing, LinkedIn, troubleshooting your job search, and fantastic networking opportunities. RUMC Job Networking exists to teach job seekers how to begin and sustain a job search while providing essential emotional support and encouragement! We are here to help!
