Every city has job clubs — either sponsored by the community, the state workforce commission or local churches. To start, contact your State Workforce Commission. The websites are listed below. If they don’t have a free Job Club, then think about creating one yourself! It’s a great way to network and learn about careers. Typically, the weekly meetings feature a speaker, employers with job openings, and career advice. Many organizations have sub-groups for particular workers, such as high tech.
