“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.”

If you are in a career transition, in a job search, or just looking for a place to network with others in the Northern Delaware (New Castle County) area you have come to the right place!

We are currently meeting on Friday mornings at 9:30 am in Hockessin, DE (at the Hockessin Baptist Church) for networking and learning new skills like resume writing, interviewing tips, computer software and internet / social media.  We strive to help each other and to make the group a safe place to build or extend your professional network.

If you’d like to join our online community group, please fill out the following form and we’ll be in contact with you with the details! ]]> http://communitymattersde.net/2009/02/welcome/feed/ 0
