Networking Tip Of The Month
Have you just recently landed a new job, or are you close to landing an opportunity? Great! Concluding a job search is a great experience to share with family and friends as well as all the people who helped you along the way. A recommendation: once you get settled into the new assignment, set aside some time and return to one or more of the groups that helped you and offer support and help to those still in job search. The positive energy and hope that employed people bring to job support meetings cannot be measured, but your participation makes a difference at every meeting. Make the effort, share your ideas and experience with others- they will appreciate it!
Networking Group of the Month
First Find A Job … Then Learn To Dance!
The Las Vegas chapter of Work Ministry gives you both, back to back.
On the second Sunday of the month, you can learn how to find a job from 4:30 to 6, and then learn how to swing dance from 7 to 9 … at the same location, with the same instructor.
"My vocation is helping 6 and 7 figure executives find jobs," notes Mark Hovind, the instructor for both classes, "and my avocation is swing dancing. We’ve offered Swing Dance lessons at our church as a ministry for more than ten years, and it seemed natural to expand out to a Work Ministry."
The Las Vegas Work Ministry chapter is in its first year and has helped about 50 job seekers so far. The dance ministry that follows (DanceGig.com) attracts about 100 every week. Both are free and both accept donations to help victims of domestic violence.
Mark concludes: "There are some common threads. Each ministry focuses on teaching new skills, improving self-confidence, and nurturing the human spirit. We are probably the only place on the planet that offers this combination, and it’s ironical - even comical - that we’re doing it in Las Vegas."
Mark Hovind is the President of JobBait.com. He can be reached at Mark@JobBait.com and at 702-648-6616.

Quote of the Month
"I couldn’t wait for success, so I went ahead without it." - Jonathan Winters
A Prayer While You Are In Transition
The will of God for your life is simply that you submit yourself to Him each day and say, "Father, Your will for today is mine. Your pleasure for today is mine. Your work for today is mine. I trust You to be God. You lead me today and I will follow."
- Kay Arthur
