Georgetown Job Cafe

Dear Friends,

Allow me to tell you about something new and exciting happening here in Georgetown. It's called the GEORGETOWN JOB CAFE (GJC). The GJC is a not-for-profit source for local employment information for all residents. The goal of the GJC is to match local employers with qualified job candidates and to match job seekers with local jobs in which they can excel and enrich their lives. Churches from all across the metro-Austin area will supply many of the GJC applicants and employers. This idea of using churches networking employers and potential employees within those churches with other churches in a much larger network is a great approach because statistics tell us that seventy percent of all jobs are "hidden jobs" and are not advertised.

Here's how the GJC works. Churches like Main Street Baptist Church who are active in the GJC network provide liaisons to the GJC. Every week there are weekly support meetings that offer prayer and spiritual encouragement, job search skills training, career counseling and assessment, networking and job leads, resume review and assistance, financial counseling, and online job search tools. At the moment the weekly GJC meetings are being held at the Georgetown public library, but that site could change in a few weeks.

Presently I am the liaison for our church, so if you are an employer needing help, or if you are presently looking for a job, please, contact me at ernest@msbchurch.com. Also, please consider going to one of the weekly meetings at the library. The meetings start at 9:00 and end at noon every Wednesday. If you are just one of these people who likes to help, has a heart for men and women looking for work, and wants to get involved, contact me at ernest@msbchurch.com.

God bless,

Ernest
