Crossroads Course for Career Transition.

Pre-registration is required. Register now at www.xroads.eventbrite.com 

Step by step, this class will help guide you how to find a job if you are unemployed or anticipating a career transition. The Crossroads Course for Career Transition is based upon the "2013 Workbook" and the "6-Steps Small Group Series" developed by Crossroads Career Network (see www.crossroadscareer.org). This course is sponsored by career ministries of an interdenominational group of North-side Atlanta churches, all members of Crossroads Career Network. In the past 3 years, more than 350 have participated in this class and several have said that this class is more effective than commercial classes or professional services costing much, much more!

Our next class begins Thursday, May 2, at Dunwoody UMC in Dunwoody GA. The class includes 7 sessions, and you should plan to attend all 7 sessions. Each step assumes that you have successfully completed the previous step, so it is not a "drop-in" class. The schedule for the February class is:

Welcome to the Dunwoody UMC Career Ministry Page.

This page is intended to serve as a resource for those that are:

• Out of a job and looking for employment
• Currently in a job but want to change jobs/careers
• Simply looking for ways to build their career
• Those with job opportunities for DUMC members or the Christian community at-large
• We provide you with resources, but actually landing a job is still your own responsibility

The Dunwoody UMC Crossroads Career Ministry meets the second and fourth Tuesdays of each month at 7:00 p.m. in the Wesley Room. We will not meet if the normally scheduled meeting falls on a major holiday (e.g., Christmas, 4th of July, etc.)

The meeting on the second Tuesday will normally include a speaker or workshop on a particular topic of interest to those who are unemployed or in career transition. The meeting on the fourth Tuesday provides an opportunity to receive individualized assistance on a variety of career related topics. An appointment is necessary. Register for appointments at www.career-coach.eventbrite.com by 10:30 a.m. on each fourth Tuesday.

Career Coaching – By Appointment

Fourth Tuesday of Each Month

On the fourth Tuesday of each month at 7:00 p.m. the Career Ministry offers Career Coaching by appointment. Started in the summer of 2011, its popularity has made it a standard part of our program. 

Pre-registration is required. Registration opens around the first of each month and registration closes at 10:30 a.m. on each fourth Tuesday. Coaching slots are limited, so sign up early!

Topics covered include: resume assistance, career selection, networking, personal finance, interviewing, social media, or any other topics you request – as long as we have someone who can help! You will be matched to one of our volunteer career coaches based upon your background and area where help is requested. Based upon the number of slots available, you may have one or more coaching appointments that evening.
