Feeling frustrated and isolated in your job search? 

Not sure how to put together a resume that gets you the attention you need for an interview?

Need a professional assessment of what you have to offer a new employer?

Want some help summarizing your experience and skills in ways that get you in the door?

Become a Member of Poynter's Job Help Group! Get the support you need to face a challenging job market. The $100 annual membership fee provides: 

• A critique of your resume
  
• Half an hour of one-on-one coaching on the phone with a Poynter Career Center coach
  
• Participation in an online group of journalists and other media professionals to network and share job ideas and contacts in a professional environment
  

The online group includes Poynter faculty and staff who will join the conversation about career changes during these challenging times.

Members also receive a 10 percent discount on any additional one-on-one coaching in such areas as networking, interviewing, personal marketing strategies and negotiating salary and benefits.

Why Is Poynter Charging for These Services?
Poynter's nonprofit status provides some cushion from the pressures facing many of the news organizations we serve. But it doesn't insulate us from those economic realities. We want to serve you, and we need your help to do so.

In addition to the $100 membership fee, we ask a voluntary $100 donation when you've accomplished whatever career goal you set for yourself. You decide the timing. Whenever it happens, we'll inscribe a brick with your name on it to acknowledge your gift -- and we'll embed it in the Poynter courtyard like those shown here as a public declaration of your commitment to journalism.

You can purchase a membership here -- or give me a call at (727) 553-4711 to discuss.
