Did You Know? LDS Employment Services

Among the many resources the Church provides for us as members is help with employment.  Each ward/branch should have an employment specialist available to assist ward/branch members with employment issues and questions.  The employment specialist is there to provide support and guidance as members look for employment or seek to improve their current situation.  You can find your ward/branch employment specialist by using the callings feature with the LDS Tools app directory or by asking your ward/branch leaders.

Our current Stake Employment Specialist is Sister Susie Rosenquist of the Ellicott City Ward.  Her contact information is available in the LDS online directory or by using the LDS Tools app.

One of the first places to visit online for help should be the LDS Employment Resources website at www.ldsjobs.org.  You can search job openings and find a huge amount of information to assist your search and prepare you for the process of interviewing, etc.  Here's just a sample of resources you can access there:

Another local resource is the Washington DC Employment Resource Center located in Upper Marlboro, Maryland.  They offer classes and workshops.  They also have a great list of useful links on their website to other resources.

"Whether just starting out in your career or well established in your career, LDS Employment Resource Services (ERS) or Self-Reliance Services (SRS) can help you accomplish your career goals. The employment center or self-reliance center offers one-on-one coaching, workshops and a large database of employment, education and self-employment opportunities. By visiting the center you learn the most effective job search practices, build your network and find resources to help you further your education or manage a successful small-business."
