The mission of the Work Search Buddy Program is to connect job seekers with a buddy to provide mutual support in their job search.
With many of our chapter members in transition, we felt a need to address the feedback that job search can be a lonely process. The aim of the Buddy program is easing the ‘lonely’ aspect of the job search process by providing the ability to partner with another PMINJ member who is also in the hunt.Benefits of participating in the Buddy program:The main benefit of the program is having someone who can be a partner and sounding board. Please note this is not a mentoring program, and your buddy is simply there to support you, not coach or provide career guidance.

The Ramsey Job Search Work Team
Monday morning. 9 to 10:30 while virtual.
Members are expected to hold each other accountable at weekly (virtual) meetings for conducting a job search in earnest. Historically, the team has enjoyed a very high rate of "landings" by those conducting an active and vigorous job search. Based on the Lee-Hecht-Harrison model, it's more of a project management team made up of people committed to helping each other in the job search. By attending regularly and staying focused on key tasks, meetings serve as an advisory panel that knows you and your search and can offer answers to the questions that come up in job hunting.
Help others to help you (especially for the first few meetings) by having a prepared "elevator pitch" to introduce yourself. Jobs open up because there's a problem to solve or a need to fill. Contact Beth Berkenfeld at bberk2@optonline.net or 201-797-4342 if interested in joining the group.
