Recently I was asked to speak with a group about lessons learned from The Flourishing Job Club. I'll share the secrets in 2 parts. Part 1 - the 5 Key Questions for those who are interested in starting a job club.
Part 2 - the 5 Success Factors to start a great job club.
5 Success Factors
If you want to start a job club, I have learned the following factors can help create a success group.
- Don't re-invent the wheel -there is lots of info on the web about what works and doesn't work when starting a job club
- Clearly set expectations - be clear about what your job club is and is not. - you will get a number of requests - be clear and practice saying no or you could get overwelmed
- Enroll supporters - community members want to know how they can help
- Be innovative - we hosted a Reverse Job Fair, iniviting hiring mangers to come and meet with our job seekers
- Draw on the talents of members - job clubs have resident expertise you can draw on to run the club and they are willing to help their peers
