JOBS! Ministry in transition!

After years of litigation, the Virginia court required The Falls Church Anglican to give up its property.  As a result, over the summer, we closed the Career Resource Center in Southgate, leaving virtually all our equipment and furniture behind.

       

While searching for a new Career Resource Center home, we are blessed with a presence at The Falls Church Anglican staff offices in Fairview Park.

Fall Semester classes are cancelled, but we expect to have classroom space in time for our Winter Semester, starting on January 16, 2013.

Our spring Career Re-Boot Program was highly acclaimed in large part due to Jim Collins, who led the group through the intensive four week program.  We expect to continue that concept as we gear up for the future.

Presentation on “Recognizing Patterns” for The Falls Church Jobs Ministry by Judy Rodda on March 15, 2011.

Research that has been done on deeply held, lifelong interests reveals that those interests are among the most stable features of human personality. “Interests” refer to underlying basic elements of human interest and the way humans rank one or more of these basic elements over other interests – not to a love of sports, music, etc.
Gaining insight into the pattern of our deeply embedded life interests allows us to better predict the activities, work environments, living circumstances, and types of people that we will find most fulfilling. These interests are among the most important patterns of meaning to consider when asking, “What are the enduring features of my personality that I should bear in mind when making major decisions”.

This exercise on Recognizing Patterns was adapted from the book “Getting Unstuck” by Timothy Butler.

Judy Rodda is a national certified career, life and retirement coach who has helped countless JOBS! Ministry participants. Her sessions receive rave reviews and the thanks of those whom she has assisted.


When: 7:30 -9:00pm, March 15th
Where: 102 East Fairfax Street, Falls Church, VA 22046
Open to all. No pre-registration required.
