Serve Your Ward, Post Your Job
Serving in my church is a great way for me to volunteer my time and talents to help others. Recently my wife and I were called as the Employment Specialists in my BYU Married Ward. This past Sunday we launched a ward employment web site that helps married college students find work in the Provo / Orem area. I used Wordpress to power the site and the Jobpress theme to power the Job Board. Any ward member can post jobs where they work. This allows ward members to network with each other. Those looking for work get employed faster than before.
Google docs is a powerful surveying tool. We set up a survey through google docs forms that allows us to know where each ward member is employed and what their job title is. If you have never used Google Docs forms, I HIGHLY recommend you do so. They are quite powerful and save a lot of time. I used these forms to compile my wedding addresses.

Hey this is very cool. I just happened to see your post and thought what great timing. I am now head of corporate marketing at FranklinCovey and we are having a special tomorrow on the “Great Work, Great Career” iPhone App from Dr. Stephen Covey. that helps people get great jobs and keep great jobs. Pass this on to your ward. It used to be $9.99 and April 13th we are selling it for $2.99 and then the price will go back up on the 14th. Hope this helps your ward members.
Here is the link.
