When Joseph of Cypress, a friend and associate of St. Paul, became an early convert to Christianity, he was given the name Barnabas, which means "son of exhortation" or "man of encouragement."

In the winter of 2002, Harry Corbett, found himself badly in need of encouragement.  Corbett, now 56, and his wife Paula, moved to Jacksonville in the summer of 2001, picking the city because it had big-city amenities but a small-town feel.  Corbett, who had worked in finance and information technology for several major corporations in places like Boston and Charlotte, thought he'd have no difficulty finding work as a consultant.  Then 9/11 happened.  Suddenly no one was hiring.

Be Yourself....

Casey Stengel, who managed the NY Yankees to seven World Series titles including five-in-a-row, knew a thing or two about getting the best out his players ...... Casey, always ready with a quick line to make his point, approached a dejected player who had repeatedly struck out and did not have any good answers for the coach. “I ‘m sorry coach, I just can’t hit a curve ball”, the player offered.  Casey replied, “So don’t swing at ‘um”.

At Friends of Barnabas we believe that God created each of us to fulfill His plan for our life.  We also believe that God equipped each of us to fulfill that unique plan.  The equipping we refer to includes the spiritual gifts, or God-given talents, that we are blessed with.  At FOB we work with job seekers to help them discover their spiritual gifts, and to project how they might use them in their career.

God will always help you find a way!  You are that important to Him.  But He will not force Himself or His blessings on anyone.  He must be invited to help.  Don't hesitate another minute.  Invite God into your life and have the most incredible "Friend" helping you in every facet of your life.

What about Networking?

Over 80% of the jobs in the market are never advertised.  True or False?
Most jobs are found by networking.  True or false?

That is why you MUST learn how to NETWORK and meet the people who can help you find that next job!

NETWORKING ...

They DON'T teach it in school... not even in college.  You might have learned some of the skills when you went away to college or went off to summer camp, but you probably had no idea WHAT you were learning to do, or WHY it was important.

Someone who tries to network before they understand what it is, what it isn't, and how to do it effectively can become a "pest" to their friends and colleagues.  When you learn how to do it correctly, you enhance these relationships, you don't destroy them.  That is why networking is a very important life skill.  The Friends of Barnabas can help you master this skill.
