I feel very privileged to be a job seeker in Cincinnati right now. I first found out about Cincinnati’s Job Search Focus Group last December from Steve Platt, a friend I first met at a LinkedCincinnati event last August.

The Job Search Focus Group is an all-volunteer, non-profit organization that supports individuals searching for new employment opportunities. They meet Monday mornings at the Hyde Park Community United Methodist Church.  Since 1992, over 10,000 job seekers have graduated from their program.  This faith-based organization has been featured in the Wall Street Journal as well.

Do you have a job search focus group in your area? If so, please leave the details in the comments.

    I think it's kind of a misnomer to describe the group as faith-based. Other than the fact that it's (graciously) hosted by a church, there's no religious activity or recognition as part of any the meetings I ever attended there.
  • You're exactly right. Apart from the rare appearance by one of the staff members, the Job Search Focus Group in Hyde Park is not religious. I recall bringing that up when I talked up the group to one of my friends who was not interested at first.
