Marin Professionals Information

Marin Professionals is a program of Renaissance Marin and provides peer support and networking assistance for job seekers who are 40+ years old with college degrees and at least 10 years experience in professional, managerial or high-tech careers. We share our experience, expertise and resources with each other, and provide mutual support and encouragement in the search for success. There are no dues or financial obligations, but we are expected to contribute a small portion of our time to the organization. Volunteers find that the hours they donate pay off in peer support and networking opportunities with others from diverse fields. FREE FIVE-DAY WORKSHOP IS A GREAT VALUE! After going through our five-day workshop, one of our members told a newspaper reporter, that if she could have found the same training at a private job placement company, it would have cost at least several hundred dollars. But for Marin Professionals members, it's free, as are all our services. Members are encouraged to become workshop facilitators. They pass on skills and information within a well-organized program format that promotes confidence and a strong job-search focus. The workshop assists people with such things as: Developing a job search strategy. Identifying skills and clarifying goals. Tailoring resumes and cover letters to fit job openings. Learning and practicing new interviewing skills.
