Cal Jernigan, the senior pastor of Central Christian Church, called Pierce and asked if she would appear on stage at services and discuss her volunteer work.

He wanted to give the congregation an idea of what it was like to serve.

The day after the services, more than 250 people lined up around the church asking for job-related assistance.

“As it continued to grow, I tried to figure out the best way to serve more people and that was turning it into a nonprofit and connecting with other churches in the Valley,” adds Pierce.

What began as a service to the church became a service to the community and monthly meetings are open to anyone.

The nonprofit meets each month at Central Christian Church in Gilbert on the fourth Tuesday, Highlands Church in Scottsdale on the second Thursday and North Phoenix Baptist Church in Phoenix on the first Wednesday, but sometimes the schedule varies. There is no charge to attend.

Coulam’s job is winding down since her employer is shifting focus and Coulam is job searching with Career Connectors once again.

“The other big thing Career Connectors did for me was that I stepped in to volunteer and that gave me confidence

in my own skills,” Coulam explains about previously managing the Gilbert location of Career Connectors.

During each Career Connectors meeting each month participants listen to a keynote speaker for 45 minutes who covers a job search topic. Representatives from a handful of employers that are hiring will also be on site to speak about their companies, available jobs and corporate culture.

“Our target market is the professional level positions,” notes Pierce.

Some of the companies that have attended past Career Connectors include Charles Schwab, Insight, GM IT Innovation Center, Verizon Wireless, PayPal and Infusionsoft.

“We require for those companies to have 10 or more professional level jobs to come out,” Pierce explains.

Now, Pierce’s primary job is running Career Connectors and she also handles hiring and staffing of churches and faithbased nonprofit organizations.

The March Career Connectors meeting is from 8:30 a.m. to 12 p.m. Tuesday, March 24, at Central Christian Church’s Student Center at 965 E. Germann Rd., Gilbert. Visit www.careerconnectors.org for a full schedule and information.
