Employment Alertness
Welcome to Service – The Action Form of Love
Many of us are enduring some pretty rough financial seas. Dan and Barbara, a couple who relocated to Utah for Dan’s job only to be laid off shortly after arriving. Now they’re packing back up to move again, this time at their own expense. $2500 or more down the drain.
In one way or another, we’re all experiencing some fallout from the current economic crisis.
So, what can we do to help?
How can we help in small and simple ways?
Today’s challenge is this:
Be alert.
Know of a job opening at your company or nearby? How about posting it on Twitter, Facebook or any other social media site you belong to?
Do you know someone who could fill that job? Why not cut to the chase and email it directly to him or her?
See?
Small and simple. Just like always.
Be alert for openings; pass them on to others who might be in the market for that job.
Thank you for reading and accepting today’s challenge. I really appreciate the fact that you understand the concept that by small and simple things, great things can happen (a paraphrase of one of my favorite scriptures).
Thank you also for being willing to pass this challenge to others. I know you pass it on by forwarding, by retweeting, by posting on message boards and by Stumbling. I’m truly humbled by your willingness to help others – because that’s what it’s all about.
Thank you especially for remembering that Service is The Action Form of Love

It just makes sense doesnt it? What a great post!
My hubby is looking for a job and we've had a lot of kind people pass on info. It means the world to us that they're thinking of our family in these hard times.

Good advice. I was actually thinking about this last week. I haven't even asked Luvpilot if there are any openings with his company right now. I need to be more aware. I don't do Twitter, but I do FAcebook and can let the ward emplyment specialist know about them.
