GO! Network was founded in 2009 to assist unemployed professionals affected by the economic downturn that has dislocated approximately 86,000 St. Louis-area business workers. Originally meant to be a temporary group, the organization has transitioned from a short-term response to a long-term solution as the economic crisis continues and the area’s jobless rate remains around 9 percent. About 3,700 unemployed professionals who have attended one or more of the Network’s regular workshops have been assisted. Of that number, over 60 percent have found new positions.
To date, the organization has conducted more than 130 Tuesday morning workshops on topics from the basic skills of resume building and job interviewing to entrepreneurship, the use of social media in the job search process, particularly LinkedIn, and how to remain positive and inspired while seeking fulfilling careers. Essential to the organization’s approach to the job search is its emphasis on the necessity of networking with members and others in the community-at-large. The services of GO! Network are offered free-of-charge to attendees. More information is available at www.gonetworkstl.com.
