About Career Prospectors

Job searching can be tough—especially if it’s been a while. Career Prospectors brings people together to navigate the ups and downs of this journey as a community. At each meeting, members share job-search updates, provide feedback, and offer support. We host guest speakers on topics like working with HR, building your personal brand, and networking with confidence. Beyond tactics and tools, we also acknowledge the emotional side of the search. Feeling discouraged or overwhelmed? You’re not alone—and that’s why we’re here.

Typical Meeting Activities

• • Networking and sharing leads
  • Guest speakers on resume writing, elevator speeches, self-marketing plans, and web search skills
  • Support networking exercises
  • Mock interviews and discussion groups
  • Accountability check-ins

Why Network?

Networking can be very helpful to your career as a strategy to discover the hidden job market to obtain a new job. Up to 80% of job openings are not advertised which makes it essential to develop relationships with people who can provide insight into opportunities or even introduce you to the hiring manager.  Research shows you are 59 times more likely to get a job through an employee referral than applying through a job board.

The saying “it’s not what you know, but who you know” has never been more true.
