ABOUT
DN Career Connections is an initiative created to support young adults who are Darchei Noam members/children of members as they explore careers and search for meaningful work. Shul members who are passionate about our community are offering to share their work and life experiences to support this process. As Career Advisors with diverse backgrounds including business, finance, academia, civil service, education, law, media, and healthcare they are available to answer questions and to provide insights and advice in their respective fields. Take a look at their biographies on the 'Career Advisors' page and connect with the relevant individual(s).
This project also includes a series of free, interactive skill development workshops that will support the job search process, regardless of role or sector. They are facilitated by a Career Development Professional and cover Networking, Resume Writing, Cover Letter Composition, Job Interviews and Storytelling.
​
We hope you will take advantage of these resources and look forward to helping you navigate your career journey!
