Because 85 percent of all job placements happen through networking, as a parishioner you can play a very important role in helping others find work. It is not a matter of having a job for them. It is simply a matter of volunteering some time to talk with a job seeker or provide information and guidance.

What is important is contact building, which is what networking is all about. Most of us don't have unfilled positions at work, but maybe we have a friend, or a friend of a friend, who has an open position and would be glad to get the help. Some employers offer rewards for referrals. Job seekers are looking for contacts, rather than recommendations, though recommendations can be helpful.
