Someday you’ll probably need to find a new job - if yours is ending or changes seem to coming in your organization. That is normal - millions of Americans go through this every year. But the fact is that you’ll do better if you have a lot of help in your search.
There are more than 30 job clubs around the metro. Some are by invitation, others focused on other disciplines, but many will work for you. They include people who are looking for a job and who come out of gratitude for past assistance. They will help you learn the ropes of job search, connecting within complex organizations and what to do when you have a live opportunity.
