Vision

Scottsdale Job Network (SJN) is the premier career transition support group in the Valley.

Mission

Scottsdale Job Network (SJN) provides job transition training, personal connections, access to resources and moral support for job seekers through a Valley-wide network of passionate volunteers.

The Scottsdale Job Network (SJN) is a non-profit community service group of job seekers and others volunteering their time to help them in their career transitions. SJN has applied to the IRS for 501(c)(3) non-profit status.

The group attracts speakers from industry, technology, government, finance, coaching and recruiting to discuss job search fundamentals and present the SJN Curriculum on the Job Search Process

Meetings
Meetings are held on the first and third Tuesday mornings, 9:00-11:30 A.M. We meet at and use space donated by Temple Chai, 4645 E. Marilyn Road, Phoenix, AZ 85032-4839. Click here for MapQuest to location 

Job seekers are offered the opportunity to network, learn new job seeking skills, and work with people who genuinely care about you and your job search. See our EVENTS CALENDAR for meeting dates and other events scheduled.

Recruiters Are Welcome
We offer recruiting agents and company representatives the opportunity to meet with our professional membership. Join us at our meetings from 9 AM and feel welcome to spend the morning with us.  Joining the SJN Yahoo Group enables recruiters to post openings to our members.  Interested candidates will contact the recruiter directly.

Resume Reviews
At each meeting, a representative from the Resume Writers Council of Arizona are available to critique resumes and offer improvement suggestions from 9-9:30 AM.

Yahoo Group
This is our closed online resource allowing members to stay connected 24/7 which is used to request information, post job leads, share relevant articles, read the history of emails, view past presentations, and more.  Attend one daytime meeting or evening event to become a member.

Web site
Resources are provided online through this website, including resources for basic needs, links to key job boards, map quest to our meetings, a list of volunteer opportunities, a reading list and a place to purchase business cards and make a donation.

Volunteering
There are no paid employees of SJN.  We are all volunteers and get great satisfaction from helping others.  Whether you are a current job seeker or you are working and want to help people in job transition, there is a place for you to volunteer.  Member participation helps establish a stronger support program for those who follow.

We do not require membership dues or meeting fees to allow everyone who is in job transition to be able to participate. Since our program is unfunded, we suggest that participants make a voluntary donation of $5 per meeting. When we have an all-day workshop, we do need to pass the costs along to participants.

Thank you,
