8.	MS of Dayna sitting on a bench in the breezeway area outside the church. Dirty shot of church in background.	DAYNA: The HIRE Career Ministry was founded more than ten years ago. The ministry supports job seekers by connecting them with empowering job search resources. These resources include workshops, weekly job announcement emails, one-to-one job search advice, and referrals to outside resources.

9.	WS of networking workshop.	VINNIE: The first session I went to was on networking and your resume. I learned a lot. It was something that I wasn’t familiar with and something that I had to do. And there’s a lot more to it then one can even imagine to get a job. DAYNA: People mistakenly believe they can find work online. In fact 60+% of jobs are found through networking and other proactive methods. VINNIE: It’s not like it used to be. So in saying that… I’ve been networking. I’ve been going to different sessions and workshops.

I want to find a better job than I had before so I can even do better than I was doing. And right now I’m still networking. Uh I’m still going to workshops. You have to stay positive. You have to continue on. You have to strive. You have to just do what you have to do.
13	. WS of Heritage Fellowship Church	VINNIE: I never thought that a church could be a place to go to help you look for a job. The church is there for you for more reasons than you think. They are very helpful in a lot of different ways. Ya know, it’s more than just God there.
