The Job Forum - Weekly Wednesday Meeting: Free Job Search & Career Advice
2023-11-29 21:00 - 23:00, 2023-12-06 21:00 - 23:00, 2023-12-13 21:00 - 23:00
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.
This week – NEW PRIZE DRAWING!
This week, The Job Forum will be holding a drawing with two fantastic prizes! A winner will be drawn from the people who sign up and ATTEND the meeting. You MUST be present to win.

The files or links will be submitted to and shared by the panelists only.

Inclusive Workplaces – Disability Inclusion and Accessibility
2023-12-04 12:00 - 13:30
A critical dialogue on disability, inclusion and accessibility.
For over 30 years the United Nations (UN) has advocated for a more equitable and inclusive society for people with disabilities (PwD). While we’ve seen some improvements in institutional policies and practices and changes in individual attitudes and behaviour, equity for PwD in the workplace remains elusive.
In this webinar, speakers will share stories about living with different types of disabilities, supporting loved ones who live with disabilities and engage in critical dialogue about challenging preconceived assumptions about disability while navigating the workplace.
Join our Panelists:
