Joseph’s People is a faith-based

unemployed and underemployed workers,
which began at St. Joseph Church in
Chester County, Pennsylvania in February
of 1995. Since that time, we have helped
more than 2,100 people to recover from
the loss of their jobs.
People who come to Joseph's People have
lost their jobs (unemployed) or are
working in a job that does not provide a
family supporting income with benefits
(underemployed). It does not
matter where you live, what religion you
are or are not, how long you have been
out of work, or what kind of work you
need. All are welcome. Joseph's
People chapters provide their services
free of charge. Your obligation to
Joseph's People is very simple. We
ask that when you get that new job, you
help someone else find a position of
employment. Check the website for
meeting times and contact information.

(973) 379-2898
Meet: 1st and 3rd Saturdays, 8:30
– 11:00 am
All persons who are either in
transition or exploring career
alternatives are welcome to join us.
The group has been meeting since 1987.
The CIT group is the most ecumenical
undertaking of Christ Church. Our
leadership includes Catholic and Jewish
individuals, all of whom are gainfully
employed but return to help others.
Unlike other groups, our group is open
to anyone regardless of religious
affiliation. The meetings are
informal and provide the benefits of
networking, resume critique by peers and
a degree of support. The
standard format is a quick introduction
then break into smaller groups for
strategy sessions. There is the
resume review group that aims to be kind
but very honest. Anyone is invited
to participate and everyone is
considered an expert - because most of
our members are middle to upper
management and have hired employees.
The other 3 strategy groups tackle
various topics such as: what is the
biggest problem you are having with your
search, interview techniques, websites,
age discrimination, mapping a career
search strategy. Each strategy
group is lead by a volunteer and the
group tries to deal with whatever
issues are critical.
