About the Recovery Jobs Club

Studies have shown that, much like recovery, people who are looking for new jobs are more successful (as much as 15 percent more) if they are part of a mutual support group, a Job Club. A number of DCRCA members have decided to form a Recovery Job Club to practice the principles of 12-Step Recovery in all their job-seeking affairs. These principles include:

• mutual support and encouragement (and constructive criticism)
  
• recognizing that it is a process, not an event
  
• sharing information
• taking personal inventory - job seekers who do a personal inventory have a much better chance of targeting, and achieving, a satisfying job.
  
• sharing information
• making a direct approach to places that might need the strengths and talents found in our inventories.

The Recovery Job Club is "on hiatus" while it is being redesigned to better meet the needs of people who need a job quickly.

We have put up several resource pages on the website where people can share their job-seeking experience, strength, and hope:

• Job Leads - if you know of job openings, please post a short note on this page.
  
• Jobs Sought - Recovery Job Club members may post a brief statement of the kind of work that they are seeking.
  
• Job-seeking Resources - books, websites, and other information to help people get jobs.
