The Scottsdale Job Network (SJN) is a group of job seekers and others volunteering their time to help them in their career transitions. The group attracts speakers from industry, technology, government, finance, coaching and recruiting to discuss job search fundamentals including how to develop a marketing plan, write a resume, network and interview and negotiate offers.
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,

Volunteering
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 is essential. It helps establish a stronger support program for those who follow. We encourage members to take part in the operations of the program in whatever way they can. See our website for more about ways to make a contribution. Open Invitation!
Anyone interested in the support we provide is welcome. 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.
