About Us
Since 1988, volunteers at RUMC Job Networking meetings have assisted over 90,000 job seekers in the Metro Atlanta area with their efforts to seek employment, change careers or return to the workplace. Job seekers meet with the RUMC Job Networking volunteers every 2nd and 4th Monday for 7 hours at the Roswell United Methodist Church. The volunteer team consists of dozens of business leaders, career coaches, HR and recruiting professionals. We have over 155 active volunteers, so job seekers can network and learn up-to-date methods to successfully find their next job or career. Over the past year, we have averaged over 140 job seekers and volunteers at each meeting.
