Job Connections

An outreach of Community Presbyterian Church (CPC) in Danville, California. We support and encourage people in their search for employment. San Francisco Bay Area recruiters and hiring managers access our group to find candidates to fill employment opportunities. We meet 9:00AM – 11:30AM, Saturday mornings; NEWCOMERS must attend an introductory session starting promptly at 9:00AM. Almost every Saturday we’ll have a speaker, and we provide a free continental breakfast. I’m one of the leaders of this group and we have over 3,550 members.

Success With Accoutability Teams

SWAT is an extension of Job Connections.  The purpose of SWAT is to support and encourage people during a job search. Teams hold members accountable for a job search and provide support during a stressful time period. We hope this teams will help members conduct more effective job searches and build relationships which will have a life beyond unemployment. We know that being a member of these type of teams will accelerate team member’s job searches and minimize the time between jobs. You have to be a member of Job Connections in order to join a SWAT team.
