Stake Employment Resource Services
After four years of faithful and effective service Brother Ken Soenen has been released as the stake employment specialist. With Brother Soenen's release we are going to take a somewhat different approach to supporting employment resource services in the stake. Evan Stoddard of the stake high council, Brother Mark Bondiett of the Washington Ward (newly called and set apart as a stake employment specialist), and Brother Tom Gearhart of the Pittsburgh Seventh Ward (who serves as stake employment secretary), will constitute a team of specialists to assist the ward and branch employment specialists, and Melchizedek Priesthood and Relief Society leaders in their responsibility to offer employment resource services to the members of their wards and branches.
Where ward or branch employment specialists are serving they will work directly with them. In units where there is no employment specialist they will work directly with the Melchizedek Priesthood and Relief Society leaders to offer training and support. You can contact members of the stake employment by email or phone:
Evan Stoddard 412-431-7188
Mark Bondiett 412-996-8200
Tom Gearhart 412-596-7734
You can call on them to assist where there is need for training or support in employment resource services. Also take advantage of www.ldsjobs.org. Encourage those who are seeking employment to register there, complete a profile, and make full use of the excellent training materials they will find there.

The Call to Join LinkedIn --
This is your phone call! We need help! And those who give help, can obtain help as well!
The following quote was taken Bishop Richard C Edgley’s 2009 Conference talk, “This is your phone call”.
“Often, individuals who are not of our faith—members of other churches, relief organizations, governments, and the news media—comment on how quickly the Church is able to mobilize so many who are willing to help. They ask, “How do you do it?” The response to this question can be simply stated as “We are prepared, we have organization, we have empathy, and we have charity.” It usually just takes a few phone calls from presiding authorities to local leaders to mobilize hundreds and sometimes thousands of individuals to go to the rescue of their fellow brothers and sisters in distress.
Tonight I wish to speak of another challenge to which we have opportunities to respond, and brethren, this is your phone call. This challenge is not one of natural causes; however, its effects are real and are being felt globally. And while we are optimistic about the future, we continue—as we have for decades—to espouse the fundamental principle that we are our brother’s keeper.
Elder Robert D. Hales has recently observed: “The economic clouds that have long threatened the world are now fully upon us. The impact of this economic storm on our Heavenly Father’s children requires a gospel vision of welfare today more than ever before.”1 The unemployment and financial wakes of this storm are splashing over every stake and every ward throughout the Church. I suspect they have been felt in some way by each of us, whether personally—through members of our families or extended families—or through someone we know.
Brethren, there is no organization better able to respond to the challenges of humanity than the priesthood of the Most High God. We have the organization. Stake presidents, bishops, elders quorum presidents, and high priests group leaders—we now call upon you to mobilize our priesthood quorums in response to the employment and financial challenges facing our members. Consider this your personal phone call. Now is the time to rally around, lift up, and help the families in our quorums who may be in distress.
Opportunities abound, and yours is the opportunity and responsibility of marshaling the Lord’s resources. Among our quorum members, you will likely find those who know of job openings and others who are skilled at writing résumés or assisting in interview preparation. Regardless of titles or skills, you will find a brotherhood committed to bear one another’s burdens.”
The needs of members in regard to employment can be fulfilled in part, if necessary with the food stuffs in the Bishop’s Storehouse. However, The Bishops storehouse is not just the foodstuffs in the warehouse. The Bishops storehouse is also the time, gifts, and talents of the members of the Church! A Website called LinkedIn has been chosen by the church to be the tool by which we may organize this tremendous amount of information pertaining to the talents we as members of the Church have and can share. The Church recommends members join both the Church Wide group at LdsConnect at:
http://www.linkedin.com/groupInvitation?groupID=41919&sharedKey=5FDD5C58CA79
and a local Stake group, which for us is called, The LDS Pittsburgh Employment Stake Employment and Support Group. The URL is at:
http://www.linkedin.com/groups?home=&gid=1909043&trk=anet_ug_hm
In the spring of 2009, in an all area Employment Conference, Brother Douglas Malloy encouraged at minimum for the members in each ward and branch, of each Priesthood Executive Committee to register on LinkedIn. (More about LinkedIn to follow). LinkedIn is a computerized social media tool to help people network together in locating employment.
However, to achieve its highest potential I would like to invite ALL members of the Pittsburgh Stake to Join the LDS Pittsburgh Stake and Area Employment Support Group on LinkedIn.
These are the guidelines for the Group on LinkedIn. This group is a resource for members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints in the Greater Pittsburgh Region and or within the Boundaries of the Stake, who are participating in LDS employment networking. Members of this group who search for jobs use the site to identify other members who might be able to help with their job search networking efforts. Members may also use the site to identify other members in the area with similar interests. It is important to have as many members as possible participate in this group. By posting your own occupation, especially your resumes, other members belonging to the group can search the group database to find those who might be able to help with their job search networking. It may be someone applying for employment in the company where you work who is seeking a contact name or it may be someone who is looking for the names of companies where their occupation might be needed.
This group also supports people who are not necessarily having any particular training or in a profession, but need a "job". In occupations where resumes are not customarily used, please join LinkedIn by putting in your work history so that you can help others possible get employment where you work, or perhaps seek others that work in the same kind of company you desire to work in. Any one who works, and any one who needs work is invited to participate.In order to keep the information from being accessible to the general public, before a name is added to the group membership it will automatically be forwarded to me or other employment specialists for approval. To help us with the approvals, please enter your ward and stake under the "Groups and Associations" paragraph on the "Additional Information" section of your Profile.
All members of this group are expected to follow Networking Etiquette at the least of which would be, by BOTH HELPING others, and receiving help; not forgetting to say thank you; and to "return and report" your experiences to the person who helped you; and by maintaining contact by creating an enjoyable online community of neighbor helping neighbor who both give and receive support.
There is also a JOB tab for the group. Please add any LOCAL jobs in the Pittsburgh Stake. It would be wonderful for all members of the Stake to post the jobs they learn about in their local areas, to be used by members in that area, or other members residing in surrounding wards. Any jobs posted here, I will get added to the LDS Detroit job site. Any member of the group may add job listings.
It would be great if the membership of this support group grew FAR beyond just the PEC of each ward and branch. Hopefully we can get MANY 100's, if not 1,000s of members in the Pittsburgh Stake to sign up also so that employment concerns become a thing of the past.
Please look over these short videos on What LinkedIn is, and how to get a proper start with LinkedIn, how to maximize the use of it, and you can also get a sense of what help you can also be to others.

How to Improve your LinkedIn Profile: Extreme Makeover
http://blog.guykawasaki.com/2007/01/linkedin_profil.htm
Setting up a professional Profile and explanations of various features of LinkedIn
http://www.metacafe.com/watch/1433150/linkedin_profile_tutorial/
Please initially just create your own account at http://www.linkedin.com/. In the beginning, please enter very minimal information and begin to explore the capabilities of LinkedIn. But it’s full potential will not be realized until you complete your online profile.
After putting minimal information to get started on LinkedIn, then go to this URL:
http://www.linkedin.com/groups?gid=1909043&trk=hb_side_g
and request to join our local Stake Group. I will then approve you to join the group. Please join the group, and see what wonderful information is already displayed. You will see some job postings as a start to what other members could be adding, and many articles and discussions on employment topics. Please add interesting articles, and add to the discussion to help the group achieve its aim to serve its members. What you see when you join the group is just a start to what other people who belong in the group could add also. The possibilities are wonderful! AND job listings are automatically deleted by the system in 30 days so listings remain fresh. You can set up your profile to receive articles, jobs etc which are posted in the group website.
This group is also designed to be used for people who do not necessarily have specialized training or necessarily have a career, but instead, just need a job. If an applicant opens a LinkedIn account, enters their job history, joins the group, they can still connect with others: whether it be the CEO of Heinz, or the cashier or cook at McDonalds. It provides upward mobility for those who want to move up the economic ladder. It is wonderful as people can help people, and also can help themselves using this wonderful social networking tool. I look forward to receiving your requests to join the LDS Pittsburgh Stake and Area Employment Support Group on LinkedIn.
Please keep in mind after joining the group, about the standard in asking people to join your network. There are some privacy issues, and a great many ways to use this website very effectively. Warning: To maintain the integrity of 1st level contacts, something which should be inherent in networking, it is best for all concerned to link directly ONLY to those with whom you actually have a personal professional relationship. These 1st level links should be people you know well enough to confidently recommend or introduce to others within the network. By adhering to this standard you will not embarrass yourself nor damage your reputation by referring people to others whom you do not have a knowledge of their professional background and personality characteristics. The network works only if you use it correctly and maintain a level of trust among network members. You also want recommendation by people who know the value and professionalism of your work. Whenever you ask someone to join your network, you have the oppoturnity to share a short message. If you do not know well the person you are contacting, please, use the feature to ask that person to be in your netword, BUT in your message, please give your email address, so that the person you are requesting to join your network may respond to you outside of LinkedIn. If we approach networking in this way, we still can keep the integrity of 1st level contacts, and still be able to respond to each others request for help.
God bless each of each to fully utilize this great tool called LinkedIn, and to follow Heavenly Father’s admonition to be our brother's keeper.

Extreme Job Searches
Have you ever been desperate enough to hang a signboard around your neck to advertise that you're looking for a job? You can read about the outcomes of such extreme job search approaches in Joann Lublin's "Lessons of Extreme Job-Hunting"and Dana Mattioloi's "Brave or Brazen? Bold Tactics Don't Always Get the Job" in the September 1 edition of The Wall Street Journal.
Bottom line? "Recruiters say the best ways to stand out don't change with the unemployment rate: network, craft a well-written resume and cover letter, and be prepared during interviews."

Job Search Success Stories
It is fun to read the job search success stories the Church has now posted in the employment section of providentliving.org. Even though some of them are from other parts of the world, the principles they illustrate are good anywhere, including here in the Pittsburgh PA Welfare Region.

"Skilled Trades Seek Workers"
A story by Anton Troianovski in The Wall Street Journal of August 19 (B1, 4) reported on the shortage of welders, pipe fitters, electricians and similar workers needed in the energy and manufacturing industries. Also in demand are project managers, construction managers and schedulers for heavy industrial jobs. "Such shortfalls are forcing some employers to delay projects and others to pay their workers higher wages or offer more overtime. . . . Skilled-labor shortages are likely to intensify in coming years as more workers retire and the economy picks up again." One construction-industry consulting firm projects that demand for electricians, masons and pipe fitters will exceed supply by 5% nationwide four years from now. A number of unions, community colleges and other schools are developing training and apprenticeship programs to meet the growing need. See, for example, YouTube videos Aaron, Brian Couch, and West_Side_3, created for the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers and the National Electrical Contractors Association.

Employment Tips for Summer
Susan Shafkalis of the Detroit office of LDS Employment Support Services shares the following thoughts about finding employment in the summer:
Have you found that while the summer season has kicked into high gear many job searches have slowed to an idle or even a full stop? Think that practically everyone, including hiring managers, is in vacation mode from Memorial Day through Labor Day? Think again. According to Monster Resume Expert Kim Isaacs, few people take long vacations anymore, so for the corporate world it's business as usual in the summer. Many projects hit the ground running in the fall, and employers want new people in place.
Here are 3 tips to help keep your clients' job searches moving forward when the mercury rises:

Here are 3 tips to help keep your clients' job searches moving forward when the mercury rises:
- Capitalize on Seasonal Events: Use personal and social gatherings like festivals, barbecues and weddings to let people know you are looking. Expand your network while you are on that walk, bike ride, at the ice cream shop, the pool, etc. Everyone is out and about. Say "Hi!" and introduce yourself.
- Take Stock of Your Resume and Skills: Take a class or two in the summer (don't forget to network with your classmates) to brush up on any skills that may be lagging. Have you assessed and updated your resume lately?
- Don't Get Discouraged: Vacation schedules may make reaching the right people challenging but be patient and consistent; leave polite messages. The good news is that the gatekeepers take vacations too so you may connect with that hard-to-reach hiring manager while your competitors are waiting until September!

Web Sites for At-Home Jobs
Sue Shellenbarger's column in this today's Wall Street Journal (D1) gave hints on finding legitimate home-based work. "As gasoline prices soar and joblessness mounts, the nonstop stream of email I get from readers wanting work from home is rising, too. Also multiplying are the online scam artists who seek to profit on that desire." I recommend the column to anyone who wants this kind of employment. Shellenbarger lists the following sites that provide information on finding trustworthy at-home work opportunities: bbbonline.org (Click on "For Consumers"), WomenforHire.com, and FTC.gov (type "work at home scam" in the search box). The article has information on several other useful sites for different kinds of work.

Entrepreneurs' Growth Conference
Some folks work for others; some are self-employed, or want to be. Every year Duquesne University holds an Entrepreneurs' Growth Conference for those who fall in the latter category—to "empower entrepreneurs" who are "building businessses." It is the biggest conference of its type in the Pittsburgh region. This year's conference is on June 5. The conference features "dozens of workshops & live demonstrations, a business-building trade show, networking opportunities, and lots of workshops for every type of business." In the interest of full disclosure, I work for Duquesne University.

Employment Resources
Don't forget the resources available from the Detroit office of LDS Employment Resource Services, under the able direction of Bro. Doug Mallory. See www.ldsjob.net or call the office at 1-888-LDS-JOBS. Bro. Mallory can give job-seekers access to password-controlled job lists on the Web for which his office maintains a subscription.

Work-at-Home Scams
Bro. Doug Mallory's (Detroit Employment Resource Services) most recent Career Outlook Bulletin (Career Outlook Bulletin, Fall '07.pdf) warns about scams that target people who are looking to work at home. Read his fascinating account of sleuth work to uncover one appealing but deceptive pitch. Relief Society sisters, beware!
