CVJS
The Chagrin Valley Job Seekers (CVJS) is a volunteer organization in northeast Ohio with the sole purpose of providing professionals in career transition, with networking contacts, job leads, keynote speakers, resources, and knowledge to enhance their job searches. The group was started in April 2002 by myself and another person. Since its inception, over 5,700 job seekers have been helped and there are 50-75 people at each meeting.
Membership is open to any job seeker who attends our meetings and all materials and services are free.
Meetings are held at the Pioneer Memorial Presbyterian Church, 35100 Solon Road, Solon, Ohio at 7:30 PM on the 2nd and 4th Mondays of each month, unless it is a national holiday or the 4th Monday in December.
