What our members say

I am reporting that GOD IS GOOD-ALL THE TIME! I have accepted a new position with Dept. of Health and Human Services, which I start on 6/5. I just want to say it was great seeing you again. Thanks for the support and for all you do for our community. Keep me in your prayers! You all will remain in mine! (Please keep me on the email list…thanks) God bless you, Landing 185

Finally I want to thank Mike Familetti, Jeff Quandt, and everyone else involved in Godly Job Search/The Omaha Career Networking Support Group for the help and support given to me over the last seven months. There have been a lot of things that I now do differently with my resume, my use of LinkedIn, how I approach interviews, etc. because of my involvement with this group. And beyond that I appreciate having had a group of people to meet with on a regular basis who are suffering in the same way and that can relate.

I just wanted to let you know that I landed a job. I’m working in house for Advance Services. It’s a staffing firm and I will be running all the marketing. Thank you for everything, I can’t express my appreciation for what you do.

It is with great joy that I am letting you know that I have received a phone offer for a position at Medsynergies. After waiting almost a year I now have a permanent full-time job for more money than I made at my previous one that ended spring of 2013. One question at the interview was about an accomplishment I was proud of. I answered teaching myself sign language. The manager was super excited!! they have an employee there who is deaf and has no one to talk with. That may have sealed the deal. I know this is the place that God had for me all the time . Landing 186

I would like you to report to the group that I have officially landed. I am representing Culture Index – a hiring and managing process that not only helps a company identify top tier talent, but also hire, motivate and manage that new talent once the are on the payroll. Special thanks to Larry, Jeff and Mike for giving me hope and courage to push forward in the job search. Thanks and Merry Christmas to you and family! Pete Landing 194 (12-8-2015)

I have accepted an Executive Director position at the Nebraska Enterprise Fund which supports small business growth, development, and expansion. Thanks to everyone who has been a support along the journey and for all the inspiration, encouragement, and prayers.

Best wishes,

I landed with Gregg Young Chevrolet as an insurance agent. Thanks for your encouragement and prayer support!

Many, many thanks for this ministry! Having a safe haven in the midst of the unemployment storm made a huge difference in helping me maintain a positive outlook, as well as sharpen the tools in my job search toolbox. All of our expert presenters shared applicable advice. All of the support offered has been a great blessing and has allowed me to recognize the next part of the journey God has in store.

THANK YOU TO BOTH YOU AND JEFF FOR ALL THE HELP YOU HAVE GIVEN ME OVER THE PAST YEAR! I HAVE LANDED THANKS TO YOUR TIME YOU PUT INTO THIS GREAT PROGRAM.

Accounting

“Hey Jeff, just wanted to share how I got my new job. They found me on LinkedIn and invited me to interview. So I didn’t even apply for the job. Quite interesting. I know you already encourage people in the Omaha Career Networking Group to have a good LinkedIn profile. Feel free to share with them my story of how LinkedIn helped me get a new job.”

Mike, I wanted to share with you that I have accepted a full time position at UNO. I haven't been able to attend a meeting for awhile, but I wanted to say that OCNSG was extremely helpful to me. The website, LinkedIn and emails kept me informed and in the loop. Kudos to you and Jeff. Please keep up the great work

Just wanted to let you know I have been rehired by the nonprofit organization I had worked for previously Heartland Workforce Solutions.

Thank you for your your ministry and resources. You are doing great work.

Just wanted to let you know that I have landed a job doing administrative billing & coding for Great Oaks Counseling. I actually came across the opening when I was on the networking website a few weeks before Christmas. It was a long process but I was hired and have now been there one week. I love it there!! I know this is where God has placed me and that all the ups and downs that I have been through in the past few years has ultimately been due to the fact that he had me make some stops along the way to this job. There were lives I needed to touch before landing where I am suppose to be. I thank God every day for all the blessings and everyone he has brought into my life. He is truly amazing!!! Thank you all for your assistance, prayers, friendship and encouragement. God’s Blessings to all of you!!

I wanted to let you know that I accepted a position with NP Dodge as Property Manager. I owe this entirely to God. I tried to get into this company nearly a year ago. Networking through LinkedIn made contact from NP Dodge possible and they reached out to me. God bless and thank you. Landing #182

Thank you for all your help and support as I’ve been hired by Palco Systems as an Account Executive. They specialize in all types of product identification for all industries. Thank You, Landing # 181

As I start this journey with my new position at Methodist Health System I want to say many thanks to the individuals that I have met to assist me to find employment. Finding myself unemployed was something that I never imagined that I would be facing. GOD slowed me down to show me what was really important in my life. The Career Networking Group has been an enormous blessing for me to be surrounded by individuals that truly are there to help and understand the unemployment journey. Never doubt GOD’s plan because He opens and closes doors according to His plan. Previously discussed in our group was the 5P’s Plan, Prepare, Practice, Polish and Present. I would like to add “Prayer, Patience and Praise.”
Many Blessings,

Mike, Hope the new job goes well for you. I started my new job at Cox Communications yesterday, so we are both blessed. Rich L Landing 193 (12-8-2015)

My first and only meeting must have been the good luck charm I have been looking for. After an 11 month search I landed a job. From what I saw you have an incredible group. Thank you for allowing me to attend! God Bless Regards – Randy Landing number 196 (12-8-2015)

I did take the HR Manager position at Lowes. Thank you for your prayers and support,

After 13 months of looking, I am very happy!

I want to thank both Mike and Joe for your personal references. I truly believe that I would not have landed the initial interview and related offer without your direct help.

I also want to thank God and Mike for creating the networking group. In addition, I want to thank Jeff for his LinkedIn assistance.

I have learned so much about this experience from everyone and the people mentioned before that it has created life lessons that I will never forget.

…I did get a job at Sapp Brothers Petroleum I just wanted to thank you and the group for all the support.

I am very excited to announce I landed the Account Manager position with Salem Communications, who happens to manage my favorite radio station – KGBI! I couldn’t have done it without the help from Mike Familetti, Scott Vowinkle, Jeff Quandt, Eric Wheelock, Jeff Bebee, and Marc Montayne. Answering God’s call to stay home and raise our 2 children was risky for my career in Marketing. Your help was a sign that God was right there helping me get back. So do everything they suggest – cause it works! I am so very grateful! You truly are helping people. God bless you all! (Landed Oct. 2014)

To add to your day I start with Flatbed Express next Tuesday!! Like Glenn I want to thank all of the folks involved with OCN. I was only there for a short period of time but learned quite a bit!! I wish everyone else the best of luck in finding meaningful and satisfying employment! Keep praying as it will happen!!! “Thanks for all that you do”!!! Tony Landing #178

It's great to see God providing for so many as they go through a job transition.

I have accepted a position with Cargill in Blair, NE and started with the team there this week. Through the process God showed me (and my family) that He cares about the details tooJust wanted to let you know as I no longer will need to receive the emails as I won't be attending meetings at this point….but will continue to pray for those going trough transition in their careers.

Thanks to the group and the prayer warriors that support it!

I just wanted you to know, the end March the Lord gave me a job at Children's Hospital. Thank you for all your tips and advice. 🙂

I had a 2 hour interview at Kiewit yesterday… Today, I got a call from the recruiter, offering me the job! … When I hung up the phone, I could not stop praising God! I am so thankful. I appreciate you two as well. There was only a few days I was depressed, but I still kept in God’s word, and it has all worked out. Thanks for your advice, helping with LinkedIn, and the interview skills I’ve learned. Landing number 175 April 2015

I have landed a job! I will be the Marketing and Human Resources Coordinator for Burton A/C, Heating, Plumbing and More. God has greatly blessed me in this. I simply applied for the job online and then applied what I learned from the book What Color is Your Parachute? 2015 edition. Thus, I went into the interview prepared having studied the company and its history. But above all, having done all that I could, God blessed me. I was in the right place at the right time and it was God’s will. But I also strongly feel like if I had not been doing all that I could-applying what I’ve learned at the OCN meetings and everything I’ve studied like the book What Color is Your Parachute?-God would not have given me this job. I also grew a lot from my employment woes and so in a way, I was blessed in that situation also. Burton liked me so much they created the job for me, based on my strengths, skills, and personality. So now I’ll be making more money, in a job that’s a great fit that was designed specifically for me, with full benefits and even a company vehicle! Plus, Burton’s goal is to have me grow and move up and I’ll be working with the company president. And, it’s only 5 minutes from my place. My wife and I are ecstatic. I know God fulfills all His promises. Thank you for your help through the OCN. landing 188

I accepted a contract to hire position with Professional Source USAStaffing. The position is an office position with Gratton warehouse. It’s day hours and in my pay range. Because they were impressed with my Excel testing scores and the confidence they had in the staffing company and probably my flexibility to start this Thursday, I got the opportunity without having an interview. God gave me the talent and lead me to the right people to help me get this opportunity. HE was in charge. I am thankful for your prayers even though I haven’t made it to a meeting in a few months because of kids activities. I will also recommend it and pray for the ministry. Thank you Rhonda Landing #179

I'm Pam and attended a few meetings due to family commitments. I'm very grateful to the ministry and wanted to let you know that I started with Conagra on Monday. Absolutely grateful that God is in charge!

Thanks,

I wanted to pass the good news to you and the OCN team. I landed a job with Consolidated Container Company in their Accounts Payable department. Even though I have not been at a meeting for two months due to activities with my children, I have been able to use the knowledge passed onto me during the meetings for my job search and also my interview process. My prayer was to get out of the retail industry and transition back into the business realm and God answered those prayers in a mighty way. I thank the team for their insight and especially for all your time. I learned so much from all of you and also the guest speakers. Thank you again for all you do! I appreciate all the time the teams invests in OCN. Thank you! Landing #180

Thank you for all your prayers, support, and great lessons on the job hunt! Starting my new job on Friday! Three offers came 2 days apart, used that advantage to land the job I really wanted! God is Good!!!

I wanted to let you know I've accepted a position as a copywriter for Physicians Mutual. I'm so grateful and relieved.

I recently came to know about your group after running into Nancy, my wonderful former co-worker at ConAgra. Due to a couple other commitments that popped up, I only had the opportunity to attend one meeting. But I was so impressed with the support from other members and the faith in Him I found there. I only wish I would have known about your ministry early on in my 7-month unemployment journey. If I learn of friends or former co-workers who are struggling with unemployment or underemployment, I'll definitely let them know about your group. It's awesome!

Keep up the great work!

Thank you for the support and belief in the human capital. I am happy to report another landing. I have accepted a sales position with AAA Insurance in Omaha, and will begin about June 15. God bless your mission. Landing 184

Woooohoooo – I landed!!!!! I am employed at Two Men and a Truck as the Operations Assistant – I was looking to get my foot in the door at somewhere I could advance and this is the place…I’m so excited!!! I “officially” start on Monday, November 15th… I want to thank you guys and the presenters I saw. I know I landed this job with the help of all of you, but especially Larry Humberstone, who took the time to meet with me and another for a couple of hours privately. Thanks a million Larry!!! …you guys really helped me to keep it together and trust in God. I know I shared some of my history with you and the group, and I was so worried it would haunt me forever…I will forever be grateful to him, you guys and the Lord.

I attended only a handful of meeting but I found the group support to really help. Larry Humberstone made a difference in my job search.

I went to a couple of your Tuesday night job seminars this past year. I especially enjoyed getting all your emails each week offering encouragement. It helped tremendously. I was just offered a job as Business Development Representative for Tru Green Chem Lawn.

I wanted to thank you for all the help in the job search. The material is great and your ministry really helps people. I start a financial analyst position with telesis on Monday and I used everything from the class to get the job. If I can ever do anything for you or anyone in the group please reach out immediately. (Landed June 2017)

I have landed a job, so feel free to add it to your landing statistic. I’ll be a Customer Service Manager with West Corporation. I’m grateful that the OCN group has been a big help.

I wanted to follow up and share that I am more gainfully employed after 2 years and 9 months. Since coming to your classes nearly 3 years ago after my job ending…I have worked several part time jobs including PRC which I eventually worked into a ft position…I continued to interview for positions in my areas of experience and interest. I just landed!! I accepted a position with The State of Nebraska working as a Developmental Disabilities Social Services Coordinator with ft great benefits. I am so grateful and have looked back at this journey seeing God’s hand of provision every step of the long way…He used so many people to pray for me, encourage my heart, share truth and gave me the tools I learned in your class to land this job.
