In life’s hierarchy of trauma, the loss of one’s job is a close runner-up to the loss of an immediate family member. Several members of our faith community are facing that trauma right now.
A ministry at Holy Spirit Parish at Geist is the Geist Employment Network Alliance (GENA). This is a ministry aimed at helping our fellow members find work and for those seeking employees to be able to employ members of our faith community.
Our parish is blessed with talent, opportunities and influence. If you, your employer, or someone you know, may be aware of opportunities, or be able to offer assistance, insight or networking, please contact us at stevemstevens@msn.com (Steve Stevens 777-9771).
Your support and encouragement can make a difference!
View our list of available talent who are being challenged GENA.
Even if you are employed or not looking for additional employees, we hope you will occasionally take a minute to check the site to see whom you can help, refer or assist.
2 Corinthians 8:14 At the present time your plenty will supply what they need, so that in turn their plenty will supply what you need.
A successful employment networking requires three things:
1) Talented individuals with meaningful job skills who are in a career transition mode. Many of those individuals within our parish are listed in this GENA listing.
2) Appropriate employment opportunities, many of which are never advertised.
3) People willing to spend 15 minutes of their time considering how they might help. Beyond sharing specific opportunities, this could just as easily mean mentoring and/or networking with those who are seeking opportunities or referring these job seekers to another potential employer.
Our goal is to have every parish member employed. Also we want to help every potential employer hire a fellow church member with the minimum of recruitment cost. This ministry has no charges for either side.
The good feeling of helping each other is free but it lasts for a long time.
Geist Employment Networking Alliance Meetings:
If you are in the midst or an employment challenge gather with us every Wednesday morning at 7:00am. This is a time of sharing leads, encouragement and direction. For more information contact Steve Stevens (777-9771) at stevemstevens@msn.com.
