About Covenant House California
Covenant House California (CHC) is a multi-service agency, with locations in the heart of Hollywood and Oakland, dedicated to assisting homeless and at-risk youth in resolving their crisis situations, attaining stable housing environments, employment, and preventing adult homelessness. Since 1988, CHC has opened its doors to homeless youth who suffer from the trauma of trying to survive on the streets and the physical or psychological abuse, neglect, or high-risk behaviors that led them there.

CHC began as a street outreach program in 1988, primarily driven by a handful of volunteers who were united in their efforts to assist the many youth found living on the streets of Hollywood. The program provided food, crisis intervention, warm concern, and access to a network of community resources, aimed at getting street youth to move toward stable housing situations. All services are provided with immediacy, are free of charge, and are tailored to meet the needs and goals of the individual. In 1996, Covenant House California celebrated the opening of its new residential center, made possible through government funding, the generosity of individual contributors, and foundations. The 36,000 square foot Center features a 48-bed crisis shelter, 24-bed transitional living center, health clinic, chapel, individual and group meeting spaces, cafeteria, and recreational space, and was custom built to provide a safe and supportive environment, in which youth can gain the physical, emotional, spiritual, and social well-being to successfully transition to independent living. In 1998, CHC opened an expanded Employment Skills Program and installed a dedicated Computer Learning Center.

To address the needs of underserved youth in Oakland, in 1998, CHC expanded beyond its Los Angeles base, by establishing the Oakland Outreach and Community Service Center. In 2002, CHC opened a 25-bed temporary shelter program for Oakland youth, and is currently acquiring a 17,487 square foot building to serve as its permanent Oakland Residential Center. The property, located in Jack London Square will allow Covenant House to replicate the Hollywood-based continuum of services for homeless youth, primarily ages 18-21.

Today, Covenant House California continues to reach out to thousands of youth on an annual basis, extending a vital link and real opportunities for youth to better their lives and to prevent homelessness in adulthood.

Ensuring the Future with Alternative Energy Jobs

We need to look toward alternative energy jobs to help ensure that there is a much brighter tomorrow than we have right now. Our energy needs have turned the planet into a suffering and polluted environment masked by our own civilized progress. In order to address the mass problems brought on by pollution we are putting a lot of faith in the potential that renewable energy jobs present.

It could work. Cars and industry are the two main sources of air pollution. Alternative energy jobs that investigate the possibilities may very well be able to develop some of the answers that will not just slowly reduce the problem, but eliminate the problem. Will this be an overnight fix? Of course not, but the chronic and immediate pursuit of clean energy will change the research that we have accomplished thus far. It will open up new doors for energy conservation.

Wind energy jobs are already starting to crop up along the coast lines of the United States. With the perpetual winds across the oceans, there is no reason why we can harness that wind and transform it into power.

This type of progress can immediately help reduce our energy costs out of our pockets as well as environmentally. We can start to transition coastal communities to wind and solar energy. The green building jobs that will accompany this progress will also help boost the economy.

Renewable energy jobs will help us find new ways to keep our planet healthy while operating at a human friendly level. We aren’t aiming to take the progress backward. We are just looking for ways to protect the planet that hosts us and improve its quality of life. Investing in renewable energy is one of the many steps toward this goal. By keeping technology alive and moving forward with better energy we break new ground.

There has to be a people friendly awareness as these jobs progress. Alternative energy jobs have to focus on combining the needs of the planet with the needs of the people. We rely on our energy for a reason and we can’t expect a nation or a world to start operating on different principles overnight. The impact of wiping out pollutant energy without balancing the needs of the people would be great.

What would happen if we just gave up and continued to go about our lifestyles in this manner? How does bringing in the energy conservation jobs and welcoming alternative energy jobs do more for us now than coal mining? Truth be told the adult generation would continue to suffer at the current range of health, which is compromised. However, it would be our children and grand children that would grow up to gas masks to survive the air outside and never feel the rain on their face, because it is toxic.

Today starts the first efforts toward a cleaner, better Earth. If alternative energy jobs are the key element to making tomorrow a better day, then perhaps it is time for interested parties to start making their ideas known, transition toward such jobs, and becoming educated to be able to jump in to the industry as soon as possible. Green collar jobs are going to help turn the world around, and being a part of that is something very extraordinary.

Strategies For Finding A Job

From Bad to Worse: Unemployment Rate Hits Working Americans Across the Spectrum

With massive layoffs and cut backs is anyone hiring?

According to the US Department of Labor:

the number of unemployed people rose to 9.4 million in August, and the unemployment rate increased to 6.1 percent.

Over the past 12 months, the number of unemployed persons has increased by 2.2 million and the unemployment rate has risen by 1.4 percentage points, with most of the increase occurring over the past 4 months.

Depending on your skills, education, determination, and networking ability, the right job is out there for you!

Think outside the box to find your next gig.

Despite the grim reports about the economy and unemployment, it is still possible to find a job. It may not necessarily be your dream job making the ideal salary, with top notch benefits, and cool perks…but it may be enough to keep your head above water while seeking better opportunities. Stay optimistic, positive, and focused on your goals.

Your job search may lead you to a new career, a new business, and/or an overlooked or missed opportunity.

Job Hunting Tips

Whether you are a newly minted college graduate entering the workforce for the first time, are a retiree looking to get back into a job or someone who is just fed up with their job and is looking to transition into another career, you can get started on the trail of that job you want by following the tips given in this article.

Check your resume for mistakes

Before turning in your resume, make sure that it is tailored to the position you are trying to secure and that it is free of typos, spelling errors and grammatical mistakes. You should also be sure to tailor your resume to the specific criteria of the position you are applying for. If you have your sights set on an accounting position, you need to emphasize any prior experience which is applicable. Make sure that your resume is no longer than one and a half pages; one page is better.

Tackling the interview challenge

An interview of 1,400 CFOs done by a California consulting and staffing company revealed agreement on the most common errors made by job seekers in the interview process. The most common of these were:

  • Not knowing about the company or even the position applied for
  • Being late for the interview or even worse
  • Being arrogant during the interview

Body language is of great importance; you should make good eye contact, have a firm handshake and avoid defensive postures like crossing your arms. The way you dress matters too – remember that it’s always better to be overdressed rather than under dressed.

Answer questions smartly

Being nervous can lead you to do poorly in interviews. These jangled nerves can even lead to forgetting the questions asked in the interview! To prepare yourself and be less nervous, make sure to do your research on not just the position itself, but also the company you are applying at. If you don’t know the answer to a question, say so and offer to get back to the interviewer with an answer later.

Getting the necessary referrals

An employee referral is a valuable thing – it is in many cases the best way of securing an interview. Remember that hundreds of resumes pour in when companies advertise a vacancy and that having a referral from an employee will improve your odds. As many as 60% of job vacancies are filled through recommendations by current employees.

Online application

An increasing number of companies are now asking applicants to submit their resume or application over the internet. This means that rather than making a good first impression in person, you must do this by email. This is a very important piece of communication; treat it with the seriousness it deserves. When applying online, remember these tips:

Complete your sentences and do not use abbreviations

If your email is too casual in its tome, a prospective employer will probably pass you by. Even when you are writing a prospective employer via email, always keep the tome of your email professional.

Get directly to the point

Be clear about why you are writing; using a story or other embellishments will probably not get the attention of a prospective employer; but it probably will make them feel that you have wasted your time and to keep on looking through that stack of resumes. Be direct and professional in your email.

With some preparation and some patience, you really can get that job you’ve always wanted. Don’t give up and be willing to wait for that perfect job instead of grabbing the first position you see – it can mean you’ll end up just as unhappy as before. Make an informed, solid decision which is right for your professional advancement and then act on it.
