What is Job Forum? |
|
The Job Forum of Contra Costa is a unique community service aimed at helping people help themselves in their job search. The emphasis is on intelligently conducting a job search campaign. The Forum is neither a placement service or an employment agency. This free service has been sponsored by the Walnut Creek Chamber of Commerce for over ten years! | |

What is the cost? |

Nothing - except your time and interest. | |

How does it work? |

Every first and third Tuesday of the month, a rotating panel of facilitators, who are experts from business, academia or government, volunteer their time to discuss a wide variety of job search challenges.
