CRASH COURSE! 7 steps to help your career transition!

CRASH COURSE FOR CAREER TRANSITION

“This course could literally change your life!”

The Crossroads CRASH COURSE is designed to provide help for those in career transition. More than 1500 career explorers from 30 states and provinces have been through our 100+ classes since 2010 and the Crash Course is updated regularly to reflect changing trends in job search and hiring.

The CRASH COURSE is offered online which allows anyone, anywhere to attend! Originally the class met in churches in the Metro Atlanta area, but COVID forced us to revise our format and go online. While we miss the in-person interaction, we are also able to allow participation from anywhere, everyone avoids rush hour traffic; and we are able to keep our registration costs low!

Who We Are:

North Atlanta Crossroads (www.atlantacrossroads.org), an Atlanta faith-based 501(c)(4) non-profit, offers our CRASH COURSE as an intense, online 7-session class to help you move forward quickly in your career search! Our team includes career ministry leaders and HR professionals (mostly Atlanta-based) experienced in career counseling and coaching.

Crossroads Career Services (www.crossroadscareer.org) developed and provides their workbook we use for the Crash Course. Crossroads Career Services is a faith-based non-profit that helps people get the right job and maximize their career. Our CRASH COURSE is based upon their workbook You Are Created for Good Works! only we teach it on an intensive schedule and provide additional content during the course.

Online Course Using Zoom:

Our class will be conducted online using Zoom online meeting software, and there is no cost to use this software as we will be using our professional subscription. The link will be provided to you when you register and will be sent to you a day or two before the event.

Zoom works on desktop/laptop computers (Windows/Mac), Tablets (Windows, iPad or Android) or Phones (iOS, Android). We strongly recommend PCs or tablets as some presentations may be hard to see on a small screen and it is easier to access the workbook during the class. Sound, Mic and Cam are needed.

During the class, one or more "hosts" will help manage the session and answer "chat" questions, allowing the facilitator to focus on their presentation. Rather than interrupt, we encourage you to ask questions first in "chat." We ask all participants to display their camera view so we can share ideas and get to know each other. You should be in a quiet location so that background noise and movement does not distract.

Topics covered during this class will include:
