Welcome! We are a community of Good Samaritans
who empower, enlighten, and engage job seekers
in order to shorten their job transitions
Career Actions provides a web-based job transition service for communities of faith. Individuals can join either as a job seeker or as an employed person (“Company Insider”). Membership is open to all, but those who join must agree to practice the Good Samaritan ethic of unconditionally helping others.    

We do more than just post job leads and enable hiring managers to view resumes. Rather, we make it easy for Company Insiders to encourage and support Job Seekers by being a conduit between the seeker and company hiring managers. The result is improved hiring rates and reduced job transition times.   

By participating either as a seeker or insider, our members gain the intrinsic rewards of helping others, have access to a low-cost job transition channel, and are better able to manage the more frequent career cycles that are caused by shorter job tenures.

How we make a difference
Job Seeker: “The spirit of the Career Actions Network, i.e. helping one another, changes the game because in essence every member is serving others, in addition to working on their own journey. This Good Samaritan approach works.” -- Dick  

Company Insider: “I’ve just been keeping a casual eye on the list of resumes, and submitting them for open positions at my company where there may be a match.  I’ve submitted perhaps 5-8 resumes and met a couple coming in for interviews.” – Dan   

Community of Faith: “The Career Actions Network is one of the pillars of our ministry which allows our parishioners (and non parishioners) easy, quick access to a unique job networking site that connects members to job opportunities.  We embrace its concept of reciprocity--networking with an attitude of helping others first.” - Carl
