Every Wednesday night from 6:00 to 8:00pm, a rotating panel of experts from a variety of Bay Area companies convene in a virtual meeting to help YOU with your job search. We are a nonprofit organization sponsored by The San Francisco Chamber of Commerce, and we are here to help!
Job seeking can be hard and stressful. We know sometimes you just have questions and want real advice. Our staff of professional volunteers will spend the time to understand you and help you take the next steps in your job search.
Each Wednesday, we have a rotating panel of three experts in their respective fields. Though the specific industry of the panelist may not be your own, there is plenty of valuable information that can be taken from each meeting. Anyone who joins our virtual meeting will get a chance to speak to these advisors and get insight on questions they might have. You now have the option of submitting your resumes and LinkedIn profiles for instant feedback.
• Each attendee gets a turn. While you are waiting for your turn, you get to hear the advice and practical suggestions given to other attendees and apply them to your own situation. As an open forum to all participants, you can also make suggestions to other participants.
• When it is your turn, you share a brief summary of your current situation, goals, and what you need help with. You can tell us whatever special circumstances or frustrating responses you are encountering as you look for your next job.
• The panel asks questions and shares ideas, feedback, and resources that can help you focus your job search efforts and prioritize your next steps.

Unfortunately, work-from-home jobs have long been a favorite target of scammers. Between 2015 and 2019, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) logged more than 58,000 complaints about work-from-home scams. And, sadly, the average loss to scam victims is $1,200.
At FlexJobs, our goal is to provide a trusted, more effective, friendly, and better way to job search. This means steering clear of “too good to be true” job opportunities–that’s why all of our jobs are fully vetted and verified by our in-house team.
Knowing how to differentiate legitimate work opportunities from harmful ones is the best way to protect yourself in your search for a remote job. Watch this webinar recording for more information about staying safe during your job search!
