Fellowship Exchange
Sometimes a fear of meeting new people, embracing new opportunities, can seem like a disaster. Creating a rich, symbiotic environment of support—built on emotional understanding, empathy, hope, even a few laughs—serves to accelerate your job search efforts and help overcome the emotional up’s and down’s of job loss. There’s great strength in building rapport and interacting with others who care when choosing an occupation with meaning.
Confidentiality
Be assured who you are and what you share—your struggles, your aspirations, your conversations—are all “safe” at PIT®. The emotional impact of unemployment experiences often leaves us feeling vulnerable and violated. PIT® participants’ critically respect the need for total privacy for all subscribers and meeting attendees.
Respect
Feedback, portrayed with sensitivity to others and offered with a kindness and adherence to the PIT® Mission Statement and these Guiding Principles, are the foundation that binds us together for a promising future.
Trust
In creating a sensitive and secure atmosphere—a “safe space”—to address the emotional and cognitive complexities of unemployment and underemployment, trust is a critical “give and take” by each member.
Responsibility
Re-employment is fully a personal responsibility and requires a highly proactive job search effort. As a community, we have a responsibility to do all we can to help you solve your workforce needs with added support and encouragement. And never forget, unemployment is always a temporary situation.
Non-Judgemental
PIT® welcomes and accepts everyone, wherever they may be at in their quest for re-employment. Meetings, support, resources and meetings are open to any downsized or under-employed employee actively seeking re-employment or a new career.
