The Job Forum wants to help you take your next best step in your job search! Join us every Wednesday!

About this event

Every Wednesday night from 6:00 to 8:00pm, a rotating panel of experts from a variety of Bay Area companies convene in a virtual meeting to help YOU with your job search. We are a nonprofit organization sponsored by The San Francisco Chamber of Commerce, and we are here to help!

Job seeking can be hard and stressful. We know sometimes you just have questions and want real advice. Our staff of professional volunteers will spend the time to understand you and help you take the next steps in your job search.

August 4  You have the option of submitting your LinkedIn profile to our panelists to review during the meeting! Our experts will give you instant feedback on the content of your profile and how to maximize your profile potential.

August 11 – We will be featuring two breakout rooms where the group will be split into two smaller groups for a more personalized job seeker experience! There will be two panelists to help you per room.

August 18 – You have the option of submitting your job resume to our panelists to review during the meeting! Our experts who have insights from major Bay Area companies will give you instant feedback on what you have and what they might be looking for.

Again, the sharing of resumes and profiles is optional and is not required if you do not feeling comfortable doing so. The files or links will be submitted to and shared by the panelists only. Any file or link will be shared with the group, so if you do not decide to submit your own, you can still gain valuable information from someone else's submission.

How it works:

Each Wednesday, we have a rotating panel of three experts in their respective fields. Though the specific industry of the panelist may not be your own, there is plenty of valuable information that can be taken from each meeting. Anyone who joins our virtual meeting will get a chance to speak to these advisors and get insight on questions they might have. You now have the option of submitting your resumes and LinkedIn profiles for instant feedback.

  • Each attendee gets a turn. While you are waiting for your turn, you get to hear the advice and practical suggestions given to other attendees and apply them to your own situation. As an open forum to all participants, you can also make suggestions to other participants.
  • When it is your turn, you share a brief summary of your current situation, goals, and what you need help with. You can tell us whatever special circumstances or frustrating responses you are encountering as you look for your next job.
  • The panel asks questions and shares ideas, feedback, and resources that can help you focus your job search efforts and prioritize your next steps.
  • If you'd like feedback on your resume or LinkedIn profile, have a file and/or link prepared so that our panelists can access and display it in the zoom call. This is optional. See instructions on how to do that here: https://blog.simplyhired.com/career/resumes/guide-posting-resume-online-google-docs/
