Careerprise

Careerprise (hereinafter, the Services) is a one-stop shop for career services brought to the general public by Friends Of CNM, which maintains relationships with some vendors that offer their services to CNM's patrons.

Motto

One Stop -- Let Us Find Your Best Earning Opportunity.

Pitch

General

Hi [Group Member],

Things are changing and I'd like to share a quick tip with you that our alumni are finding crucial for success. There are SO many choices with career service carriers (and many are bad)!

So We Vetted 70+ Career Service Carriers in Our Region

You can now get the best carrier, with the best offers, and the best track record for your situation. We've already vetted the top 70. From that point we can help you narrow down further based on your business.

Group Purchasing Power Means LOW COST

Our group buying power allows for competitive pricing when compared to going carrier-direct. One partner in our network achieved 5 times the value for the same pricing offered by their previous carrier.

But Strategy is the Glue. And We Already Know Your Situation From the Inside

Most carriers or cable companies want to sell you their solution and some will sell you promises they can't keep... costing you money and time, up front, for the next years.

Wouldn't it be nice to have a seasoned team who helps to create your strategy, choose from the 70 best vendors, and manage the implementation? We'll also handle your escalations if there are any problems.

You Get a Free Strategic Data and Analysis

Call us today and we'll give you a custom Strategic Network Analysis. You'll want to make sure your multiple locations, resource-hungry applications, and IT infrastructure all run quickly and securely. Call or email us to set-up a 1 hour analysis. My team and I will help you begin to budget and plan your network services blueprint for the next 3-5 years.

Reach us at 703... or info@friendsofcnm.org

Even if you don't work with us, make sure you plan your IT strategy around your contract expiration date. We're finding it to be more and more important for IT departments.

Sincerely, Gary Jay & Your CNM Council for Career Services Team

P.S. [Group Member], if you feel like I've wasted your time on this strategy call, I'll personally write you a check for $100. I guarantee it will be the most useful call you've had in weeks. Call us at 703... or reply to this email.

Financing

It's time to learn your financing options for Careerprise services

One constraint that is often overlooked until it's too late is the amount of budget allocated for career solutions. Good news -- flexible financing can be a powerful way to acquire, migrate, build, and scale Careerprise solutions -- while lowering up-front costs, improving cash flow, and boosting return on investment.

Join this webinar on [date] at [time] to learn how Friends Of CNM offer financing options for Careerprise services such as interest rates as low as 0 percent, payment deferrals for up to 90 days, customized payment plans, asset buy-backs, comprehensive project financing, and grants. In the webinar we will cover:

• How financing can help you manage budgets, conserve cash, reduce uncertainty and achieve financial goals
• What options for financing are available to you
• How to get more information to start benefitting from financing your Careerprise solutions

Development

The idea is to launch an entity, which would source, onboard, and sell various career services such as career administration, education, etc.

Workforce sourcing

Target audiences

Those who are willing to go to a college are proven to be the best target audience.

Qualifications of the candidates

There are no qualifications for applicants -- based on Gary's experience, every 12-y.o. can make $45,000 a year after 9-months training. Older candidates often loose their creativity, curiosity, and open mind. In his 5 years, Gary had just two success stories with 55+ y.o. candidates. Both were ladies and previously worked in senior positions in other than IT industries.

Sourcing locations

There are no specific locations. American candidates bring much more money, but marketing is far more expensive. At the moment, Friends Of CNM also target areas outside the US with English as a primary language.

Sourcing process

We fellows shall be:

1. Reached out through various channels such as events, websites, social media, partners, contractors, and emails; they shall be offered to visit the admissions page and submit their requests to get enrolled into WorldOpp Orientation;
2. Able to get enrolled and graduated from WorldOpp Orientation.

Marketing channels

The fellow applicants shall be sourced through various channels:

Category	Channel	Description	Admissions
Events	Project management training	Gary's best success stories came from meetup groups such as https://www.meetup.com/techdc/ (he is not active recently, but you can click on the photos to see some history). The applicants were usually coming to the events and then joined	CNM Project Management Matriculation
Websites	Undefined	A network of websites, which shall use SEO in order to be searchable and which will direct the interested in to the admission page; Some meetup photos can be used.	Undefined
Internal social media	Undefined	Social media such as Facebook pages tend to be a highly attractive source. An occasional posting of one announcement at the OFF Facebook group this generated a huge number of applicants; Some meetup photos can be used.	All of the above
Job-bidding sites	Upwork	This platform doesn't require payments, but Gary needed to pay thousands of dollars to the applicants. All in all, freelancers tend to work to earn money, not work to learn how to work
	Fiverr	This platform has similar potentials to Upwork
Learning platforms	Udemy	Hosting of some courses such as CNM Project Management Matriculation can possibly generate some applicants
Other public relations	Career Network Ministry	As a part of its leadership team, Gary distributed newsletters through https://www.meetup.com/mbc-cnm/ and they generate some folks
	Email newsletters	And other public relations campaigns.

Workforce serving

Talking about qualifications for our graduates, they are stated at this page -- Information Technology Project Manager.

Employers

• Two main paying clients for now are a venture capital group and one angel investor;
• One more client is a foundation that is willing to finance enterprises of the vulnerable. This client will support the graduates only. This donor will not pay Gary for graduates, but the offer generally can add value to the whole project. This special program for representatives of vulnerable communities will be advertised as WorldOpp.

Serving process

1. The applicants are supposed to fill in the admission form at CNM Campus;
2. Those who filled in the admission form shall be directed to the WorldOpp Orientation course;
3. Graduates from the orientation course are the apprentice candidates.

Work experience

The fellows are welcome to work on the Project in order to get real business experience. Particularly:

1. One of the program's websites, WorldOpp.org, has already been ordered. It needs its project manager.
2. The candidates shall go through quick project management training called CNM Project Management Matriculation. This training can also be offered to the general public at no cost to its participants.

Every fellow shall have one or more mentors.

Job opportunities

Everyone is welcome to develop products, services, or results of Friends Of CNM as an independent contractor. To be considered, please state:

1. What deliverable you are going to create and offer Friends Of CNM to purchase. These deliverables could be anything valuable, measurable and describable related to the sourcing of fellow candidates or serving of the selected fellows. Friends Of CNM will consider any deliverable you may offer them to purchase as a result of your project. Especially, Friends Of CNM would like to pay for anything that would help to attract more candidates to the admission page. If you envision what it should be, they can finance, mentor, etc. If you cannot, this job offer cannot be relevant to you. Do you feel like Friends Of CNM should do anything differently? Are you able to do that on your own if Friends Of CNM would pay for that? State what you can create, delete, or modify. You are welcome to explore the deliverable wikipage to learn more what that deliverable can be;
2. The dollar amount of the financial award and any other support, which is sought.

Friends Of CNM plans to award up to $200 every week in the open awarding process. The contractors are assigned sponsors as points-of-contact of Friends Of CNM.

Hiring requirements

Currently, the Employer hires everyone who is able to accomplish the following steps:

1. Thou shalt not:
   • Send your resume, LinkedIn profile, marketing plan, as well as network or impress with your interviewing skills -- nothing of those is relevant for this particular hiring process;
   • Ask about job descriptions or assignments -- the Employer has hired no manager yet. All we have are the visions and budget;
   • Treat this opportunity as immediate cash earning; this is rather a learning or transitional chance;
2. Imagine an ideal career service provider, which provides services remotely;
3. Compare with the visions of Friends Of CNM and its current online presence;
4. Find out discrepancies between the ideal and existing services;
5. Decide whether you can:
   • Lead the endeavor to build the ideal provider in your new capacity of Friends Of CNM Executive Administrator;
   • Accomplish some project to build some part of it in your new capacity of Careerprise vendor; or
   • Start from scratch in your new capacity of WorldOpp Fellow Candidate;
6. Describe what you propose to accomplish and email it to Gary Ihar. You are also welcome to ask any question at any time.

FAQ

What type of work is this?

The type of work is neither formalized nor structured. We just have some budget to build remote services for Career Network Ministry's patrons.

Do you have any job descriptions for the positions you are hiring for?

Any incumbent of any role shall perform any task, which is needed. Usually, our job descriptions include no more than that.

Please help me to find a decent job from home for now and it is my promise to give back to the community in a meaningful way.

This initiative is more like an idea for now rather than developed services. We raised some money and would like to build services to help people like you, hopefully, in 3-5 years from now.

I can be one on the Staff, esp. I'd like to get involved in some tech work -- as for a role (mgr, lead or analyst), depending on the work involved.

Absolutely, what would you like to manage, lead, and/or analyze in order to help to build better services?

I was wondering if you would consider appointing individuals who have a strong interest in relocating to the US to live and work but do not yet have a green card granted?

Why not? On the one hand, a solid portion of our current employees reside outside the United States and even don't plan to be green card holders. On another hand, we would like to partner with legal service providers some day.

I am particularly interested in finance and accountancy roles within the voluntary or private sectors.

You need to state what services for Career Network Ministry's patrons you would like to develop in order to be hired.

I'm interested in meeting with you regarding this program.

I guess that you are not alone. Would you like to organize some meeting for about 10-12 people? Usually, Saturday's 11 a.m. is a good start time.

I would love to explore the WorldOpp project management and leadership training boot camp or Educaship.

Those training opportunities are temporarily postponed because of lack of their developers. This is the main reason for why we are currently hiring.

I am in the job market looking for a management position. Please take a look at my LinkedIn profile and please call me. I look forward to talking with you soon.

We are hiring our CEO. Besides that, our opportunities work best for those who are not on the job market (usually, yet). If you believe that you can build some services for Career Network Ministry's patrons and we find your proposal feasible, we will offer you the minimum pay plus commissions if we sell those outside CNM.

My landlord is taking me to court for eviction for non payment of rent. Please, help.

Our employment opportunities are not designed to provide you with immediate cash. Our goal is to build services for Career Network Ministry's patrons. There are a few opportunities on the market and one day we may offer some resources to help you to navigate those.
