Blessings & Business Cards
In the Sunday, April 12 edition of News Journal, our Community Matters Networking Group was the featured story in the Life section. Gary Soulsman wrote a fantastic article describing the group and highlighting the stories of a few of our members.
Across Delaware, churches and other organizations are opening their doors to job-seekers to offer comfort, support — and even the sense of connection and community that can be stripped away when you’re laid off or fired.
“I believe my next job may be only one friend away,” West says. “And it feels good to be looking out for others — encouraging them and helping them find contacts.”The stories she hears at the Community Matters Networking group are the psychological equivalent of the exploits of Indiana Jones — how people, with a distaste for rejection, face it day after day but still summon the courage to send résumés and make calls in the worst job climate in memory.
