Review for Jobs Ministry Southwest, Inc., Richmond, TX, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

JWS has offered training that taught me how to navigate the electronic job search, has sent nearly daily updates on jobs, training, and training opportunities to help me find a job. The organization not only offers great trainig, but the networking is amazing! The meetings can provide opportunities to meet recruiters, network for opportunities that may not be published, and provides a very positive environment to job seekers.

I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...

The seminar on super resumes taught me how to take my run-of-the-mill resume and make it show up through a database in order to get in front of a human set of eyes, then how to handle some of the toughest interviewing questions. And I got some tough ones!

What I've enjoyed the most about my experience with this nonprofit is...

I have enjoyed the new friendships and the advice of the volunteers. I felt very welcome and that my concerns mattered. I have found a job, then had to leave, and am now looking forward to more meetings!

Ways to make it better...

If I had come prepared with my 30-second interview, I would not have rambled as much. I would like to hear interviewees reminded to drop hand-written thank-you notes to the interviewers. I would like to have the opportunity to check out or buy books.

How frequently have you been involved with the organization?
