I will be an Accelerated Job Search Facilitator (sounds impressive, huh) when our ERC starts implementing the program.  West Jordan, St. George, Welfare Square, Boise, and Sacramento have started.  Church headquarters wanted the pilot started last January.  My Director Becky Conger has been waiting for her full time missionaries to start because they will be responsible for running the pilot.  She has a couple from the area that will start next month as full time missionaries living at home as well as my companion.  They will all have to go through the MTC too.

People who come into the office are called candidates.  Some come in to practice for interviews and others want help with their resumes.  Still others come in to do job searches on our computers.  We have a bank of eight computers available for doing job searches.  We encourage everyone who comes in to take the Career Workshop.  All the services we offer are free to everyone.  

I plug away answering phones and registering people on LDSjobs.org.  One morning we had an individual come in seeking help with a summary on a college paper.  The candidates primary language is French and had been referred to LDS ERC to get assistance correcting it.  An intern from the college and myself went over the paper correcting grammar and sentence structure.  I have also been asked to mentor two individuals going through the Deseret Industries training program.  They are employees receiving training so that they can get jobs in the public sector.  They are assigned mentors from their church wards to work with them.  The mentors for these two associates had moved out of their ward.  DI people are referred to as associates instead of candidates.
