The…read moremortgage-backed security crisis which hit America in 2008 has percipitated an employment crisis the likes of which this nation has not seen since The Great Depression. Many employers can no longer borrow money from banks and therefore the lay-off of employees is inevitable because there is no longer any money to pay to keep them. The way the entire world works seems to be going through a transition of sorts. As Seth Godin states in his best-selling book, Linchpin, there used to be two groups - management and labor. But now, with the rise of the Internet and Social Media, a third group has emerged - what Godin refers to as "linchpins." These are the people who have an artistic focus toward doing a job. That is to say, they seek to make things better not just acceptable. Linchpins see work as not just a job, but as "an opportunity to shine." However, who is taking the time to tell today's job-seeker to do the unconventional? Who tells him or her to take an artistic approach toward finding employment? Who encourages these folks to pursue a better future - not simply find work? Who is telling them to build relationships with other job-seekers and mutually collaborate to help each other out? Answer: Work Force One. I am particularly impressed with the bi-weekly business networking meetings hosted by Bob Nealon. Here job seekers are no longer referred to as "unemployed," but "salespeople in transition." Having a different mindset toward who you are and what you can accomplish really does matter. At Nealon's bi-weekly meetings folks are actually encouraged to network with each other. No one is encouraged to be a "one-man band" and "go it alone " in the search for a better future. Instead, folks are encouraged to help each other out. Indeed, the idea of campaigning for a specific job with a specific employer using letters of endorsement from fellow members of the PPN Group is not out of the question. If this campaigning approach for a better future for sales professionals in transition catches fire in Pompano Beach, I believe it will spread to other areas of South Florida and beyond.

Located in the Coconut Creek Plaza, Career Source Broward - North Center provides various services…read moreto assist job seekers with their career goals. You will have free access to job postings, computer use, printers, copiers, and much more to assist with your job search. Several workshops are presented at each Career Source Broward location as an in-person class or conducted over zoom, which are taught by certified facilitators. I attended two workshops where I learned how to utilize effective job search methods and how to develop a targeted resume. I was really surprised on how many people attended the classes...some were having a difficult time finding a job while others were looking for a change for a better life. You have no idea what people are going through until you find yourself conversing with them.

But it was the WAY she relayed that message that was unwarranted. She was HIGHLY unprofessional and very rude to him, over the phone. She had a very nasty attitude and was unpleasant.

Huge learning value for everyone involved.

Junior Achievement is a non profit that has programs designed to give business skills to students…read more They teach work readiness, entrepreneurship, and financial literacy, Junior Achievement of South Florida was founded in 1919 by Theodore Vail, President of American Telephone & Telegraph, Horace Moses, President of Strathmore Paper Company, and Senator Murray Crane of Massachusetts. JA Company Program was the first program offered after school to high school students. In 1975 Project Business was introduced in class to middle school students. Today Junior Achievement has over 100 local JA Areas across the country. They are the largest organization dedicated to giving young people the skills for financial success through in school and after school programs or with visits to their centers like this one on the Broward College Campus. I have a long history with Junior Achievement. While in college I taught one of their courses to elementary school students. When my daughter was in elementary school I chaperoned on her fifth grade field trip to JA Biz Town. Now I accompany a new generation of fifth grade school children on their field trips. Local businesses like Truist Bank and Rick Case Automotive sponsor the store fronts that are set up like a mini city in the building. Students learn skills like how to purchase items, bank, budget, and write a check. Best of all they have a great time learning financial skills. If you have free time to spare they always need volunteers and it is very rewarding. Follow them on Facebook to see the latest happenings. Junior Achievement is such a great resource for the community. We are truly lucky to have them in our backyard.
