Need a Job… Go to Church!

While I do recommend praying for that perfect job, that’s not what this article is about. I was watching the news last night and saw a story on how tough the job market is here is Arizona - not unlike much of the US. It featured a woman who had been in her field for over 20 years and for the first time was having trouble finding a job. The true story, however, was how a local church had put together a “jobs ministry” to help parishioners and others in the community find job resources and network. I recalled one that my former church in Virginia had which seemed to have great results.

SO, if you are looking for a job in this challenging market check to see if your any local churches have a jobs ministry. Most of them are open to the public and do not require you to be a member, nor do they push “religion” on you. If you don’t know of any churches, you can do a search for “jobs ministry, your city” or “churches, jobs ministry, your city”.

And it won’t hurt to say a prayer while you’re there
