Some 24 young men gathered to learn about what it takes to land a good job last Wednesday in Crown Heights.
The class was led by Rabbi Mordechai Kruger, Director of Pathways to Parnassa. Rabbi Kruger has been counseling individuals on their job hunting journey for the past decade, and shared keen insight into the dynamics of landing a great job.
“The key lies in finding your strengths and building on them,” says Kruger.
The young men sat riveted for an hour and a half, eager to learn what they could from the expert. “Finally someone started something like this in Crown Heights,” said one grateful attendee. “We need more classes like these.”
The event was organized by Young Chabad Professionals, a group started with the goal of providing bachurim just out of Yeshiva and young married men with the knowledge and understanding to get into the work force.
“Most young men would like to go on Shlichus, but unfortunately not everyone can find a place that easily or quickly as they thought. Many are thinking about going into the business world, but don’t have the knowledge to begin hunting for a job,” said roup organizer Shneur Mishulovin.
YCP will help with classes from the basic knowledge on how to job hunt to writing a resume to hearing businessmen speak about their businesses.
Rabbi Kruger will be returning for a final class on successful Resume writing this Wednesday. For more information please contact YCP at [email protected] or join the Facebook group at Young Chabad Proffesionals.
For those who aren’t headed for Business, there are many wide open fields in the area of Information Technology where trained, skilled professionals can earn 6 figure salaries. Having been in the IT field for over 30 years and currently in a Management role for almost 20 years, I can testify that there is a crying need for skilled professionals in the areas of IT/Network Security, as well as in IBM Mainframe Systems Programming.
This should be more publicized as it is sorely needed.
Amazing how Mish ignores the naysayers and pulls off this amazing course. Kudos to CHYE for being a great partner.

Awesome!
I’m so happy to hear of such a class happening in Crown Heights helping the needs of the Bochurim who just finished Yeshiva and are looking to start working in the business field.
