Engaging in Mutual Support
It's tough out there in this downturn if you have lost your job. However, there is a very bright spot. It's people helping one another. One manifestation is the JobAngels idea started by Mark Stelzner.
Another is the job search support group phenomenon where little groups are springing up all over the country, designed by the members, for the members. I've helped to start one at my church in central NJ that is now in its second year of operation,providing both spiritual and practical support to the unemployed.
Recognizing that many people would benefit by having access to a job search support group, my OD colleague Janice Lee Juvrud and I recently wrote and published a guide, that we are sharing for free, which distills the basic ingredients and steps for starting your own group in your own local community.
Since publication a couple weeks ago, it has already reached a nationwide audience, and attracted the attention of such notables as Gerry Crispin of CareerXRoads and The Riley Guide.
