Mentors Mentors work one-on-one with jobseekers to help them prepare for the job market. Activities include practicing interview skills, clarifying professional objectives and focus, and gaining confidence in presentation and networking. Mentors will help mentees with editing cover letters and business communications, as well as introducing mentees to contacts in their industry. Mentors attend a 45 minute orientation session, then meet with their mentees once a month. Additional contact is via phone and email. Mock Interviewers Mock Interviewers take part in a 3-hour workshop held monthly on a Saturday morning or weekday night. After a brief training at the event, the Volunteer conducts a practice interview for 2 jobseekers. Networkers Networkers take part in a 2-hour workshop that simulates a typical networking environment. This fun event gives jobseekers a chance to practice their networking skills in a friendly environment, connect to professional peers and develop job search leads. This is a great opportunity to interact with our jobseekers on a social level and to directly help these individuals improve their networking skills. Industry Specialists Industry Specialists share industry/profession specific expertise and experience.

Lead Networking Forums in your Industry: Lead and/or coordinate an Industry Roundtable - a forum of panelists in your industry who share information, suggestions, and concrete job search tips for our jobseekers in a particular industry Advisors Advisors conduct informational interviews, over the phone or in person, and help jobseekers understand the intricacies of pursuing a career within a given industry sector or company in the U.S. Connectors Connectors are people who are well-networked.
