NOTICE: Passions Workshop Rescheduled: 5/27
SJN is sorry to inform you that due to a work-related conflict, workshop facilitator Maria Wojtczak, is unable to deliver the workshop Exploring Your Passion and Putting it to Work on April 29. Unlike SJN's other programs, this workshop is so personal to Maria who developed it and uses her life stories and experiences to deliver the messages, finding a substitute facilitator is not an option.
The good news is that Maria has rescheduled the workshop for Tues, May 27 (9A-4P) at Temple Chai. Enrollees for the 4/29 workshop were contacted directly and offered the option to either roll their payments over to the May 27 workshop or receive a full refund.
Since enrollment was low for the April 29 event, I hope the new date of May 27 offers an opportunity for more of you to attend. Register via Internet by May 26.
Seating is limited to 30 participants and has a minimum enrollment of 12 participants to run the program. Because SJN provides assessment booklets, binder and printed materials, there is a fee of $25 for this event. To register and make payment: http://www.eventbrite.com/event/106918797
Thank you for your understanding. Contact me with any questions.

New Projector--it's a beauty!
New Projector Purchased
Thanks to the help of SJN member Elizabeth Stoltz, who researched the options and made recommendations to me, SJN has purchased a new projector. We have been relying on the use of the Temple's projector up until now. Our projector should arrive in about a week, and be available for the Passions Workshop (AM) and SJN Mixer-Open House (PM)--both events on 4/29. This purchase was made possible primarily by the donations of our members, unemployed and under-employed workers.
Networking for SJN
This week, I attended two outside net events for SJN, hosted by CDI IT Solutions and LinkedIn Live (at the County Fair). I shared the group's accomplishments--the projector purchase and our work in general. People are amazed at what we do! As they pick up on the pride I take in this organization, they become interested in supporting us.
Oh, if you've never networked with Bill Austin, SJN's Vice President, be sure to make an event he is attending. He is a magnet and so well connected--one of the top people on the LinkedIn network for Phoenix. Bill is outspoken and passionate in promoting SJN and works to help both job seekers and businesses succeed.
Mission being fulfilled
Scottsdale Job Network (SJN) provides job transition training, personal connections, access to resources and moral support for job seekers through a Valley-wide network of passionate volunteers.
Volunteerism
Remember, we operate not only on donations (cash) but also on donated labor. While you have time on your hands, we recommend volunteering -- it helps us and also helps you strengthen connections.
Many thanks to all who make SJN possible and a very valuable resource to the community! Have a good weekend and I'll see you at Temple Chai on Tuesday morning, April 15.

Register for 4/29 Passions Workshop, 9A-4P
Exploring Your Passion – Putting It To Work
(a special workshop for job seekers)
Tues, April 29, 2008
(a special workshop for job seekers)
Tues, April 29, 2008
9 AM - 4 PM at Temple Chai
Description
"Do you love what you do?" If you're one of those "lucky ones" who can answer a resounding "Yes!" to this question, then this seminar is not for you. But, if you're not, then you've probably asked yourself if there's a job or career out there that's a better match than what you've experienced - one that can be more satisfying and have more meaning in your life - and how you might go about finding it. This workshop is designed to help people who have asked themselves those questions.
Job seekers often limit themselves to what they “have always done” because it was the career that defined them for many years. They tend to lose sight of their many gifts, interests, strengths, and wealth of skills developed through life experience. This workshop utilizes proven tools to help individuals identify their strengths, talents and preferences - what they're basically good at and really enjoy doing, and can prove to be useful in opening up job search options.
