Job Search Educational Non-Profit Celebrates National Volunteer Week
Successfully complimenting colleges, technical schools and MBA programs with proven 21st century job search and career management training, Empowering Today's Professionals recognizes its 100% volunteer work force.
New York, NY April 26, 2013 – Addressing the importance and impact of volunteering, President Barrack Obama stated in a recent proclamation "National Volunteer Week is a time to renew that fundamentally American idea of service and responsibility. It is also a time to recognize the men, women, and children who bring that principle into practice every day by lifting up the people around them. Volunteering rates are the highest they have been in years. More Americans are answering the call to serve -- not for fanfare or attention, but because they want to give back. And as they do, they are making our communities stronger. They are boosting local economies. And they are building ladders of opportunity for those who need them most."
Founded in 2004 by successful speaker and coach, Rod Colon, Empowering Today's Professionals (ETP) has been celebrating all week by recognizing its volunteers. Rod explains "ETP teaches people how to take control of their careers in the same way a chief executive officer directs all critical operations of a large corporation. Our mission has been to impact students and professionals globally to manage their careers – by owning it. Becoming a Non-Profit Organization gives ETP resources to continue our commitment to empowering today’s and tomorrow’s professionals globally."
Sponsored by Points of Light Institute — National Volunteer Week was established in 1974 and has grown exponentially each subsequent year, with thousands of volunteer projects and special events have been happening throughout this week.
ETP
Board of Advisor member, Ruth Harenchar states "I am glad to be
involved with ETP being an educational community service non-profit
organization that teaches professionals to run their career as the CEO
of ME Inc.. As a former ETP board member spearheading the volunteer
team that resulted in ETP being certified as a 501c3 tax-exempt
charitable organization was an awesome experience. Volunteering for ETP
helps train more people in the methodology and concepts of being CEO of
Me Inc. Volunteers reinforce what they’ve already learned as well as
learn from others.
"Volunteers are the rocket fuel that propels Empowering Today's Professionals. Our volunteers and non-profit status truly facilitate being able to expand our support, training and mentoring of professionals worldwide with program development focused on 21st century job search training and life time career management programs that are not taught in colleges, technical schools or MBA programs." says ETP Executive Director Carl E. Reid
As part of this celebration, ETP published a Volunteer Directory on it's web site www.ETPnetwork.org for public recognition. The directory highlights volunteers, while allowing anyone to expand their networking sphere of influence by clicking on each volunteer's LinkedIn profile to make a connection.
Lamplighter Editor-in-Chief Adelaida (Aida) Rodriguez says "Today, I am proud to say that the Lamplighter Newsletter has helped promote ETP’s tenets on job search to its members and colleagues by the utilization of good networking and various social media."

thousands to land jobs and close business deals. This book is used as a
reference guide for all ETP training programs, which volunteer Faculty
members share.
As
I learned being around Empowering Today's Professionals' leaders,
volunteering with organizations has helped me develop quite a few new
clients. ETP has a an awesome volunteer benefits package that is 2nd to
none." states successful entrepreneur and ETP Director of Volunteer
Services, Amanda Sherman.

Lamplighter Volume 5 Issue 2 April-May 2013 - My Own Destiny – Life as an Entrepreneur
By Amanda Sherman
When you first start realizing that what you have been doing is really not your career but a regular JOB, ask yourself, "What do I really want to do with my life?" I have struggled with that question throughout my working years.
In trying to get answer to this question, I have listened to several professionals by attending seminars, reading books, taking courses, and listening to the advice of fami-ly and friends. And yet, I’m still in a dilemma about what I want to do with my career. Well, I finally came to a decision that . . . I want to be in charge of my own des-tiny!

CLIFFORD'S NOTES: FOCUS ON YOUR SEARCH
By Jerrold (Jerry) Clifford
Professional ETP Member since 2007 and Lamplighter Newsletter writer.
I would like to tell you a story about a bank robber. He planned for every detail related to the heist. He didn’t just decide to pick any bank. He chose one that would have plenty of money on hand. It was on a street that wasn't too busy and yet would have enough pedestrian traffic so he could blend into the crowd and not be noticed. It was in a neighborhood of diverse people so he didn’t have to worry about fitting in. He chose a suitable time of day and a get away vehicle. Then he put his plan into action.

I would like to tell you a story about a bank robber. He planned for every detail related to the heist. He didn’t just decide to pick any bank. He chose one that would have plenty of money on hand. It was on a street that wasn't too busy and yet would have enough pedestrian traffic so he could blend into the crowd and not be noticed. It was in a neighborhood of diverse people so he didn’t have to worry about fitting in. He chose a suitable time of day and a get away vehicle. Then he put his plan into action.
He waited until the perfect time. He went to the bank and took control, getting the bank employees to put money in a bag. In the middle of all this he decided to take a bath. This gave the authorities the opportunity they were waiting for and they were able to arrest him. When they asked him why he stopped to take a bath in the middle of a robbery he told them he wanted to make sure he could have a clean getaway!
While a humorous story, this joke reminds us that for successful completion of any plan it is important to maintain focus on the objective. This is certainly true for the job search.
While things did not go exactly as he had planned, it wasn’t the bath itself that led to his downfall. It was that he misinterpreted how an activity (taking a bath) could help accomplish his result. He had lost focus on his objective. After all, he really robbed the bank to get lots of money. All the effort he spent planning the caper was in support of this end. How the bath was really supposed to help was tangential to this focus.
Conducting a job
search can be tedious
and full of negativity and rejection. We may spend considerable time preparing
value propositions only to find that companies don’t even bother acknowledging
their receipt. Conducting a job search contains so much uncertainty and
negativity, and usually they aren’t fun. We use their “importance” as a
rationale to avoid the tedium, negativity, and frustration associated with job
searching.
Unconsciously, we may be looking for excuses to avoid this chore. Thus, when everyday life requires attention to everyday activities, we use unrelated task “importance” to them and hence spend more time than necessary to accomplish them. We lose focus. This loss of focus takes time away from executing our job search plan and can affect the time it takes to obtain a position.
Staying focused is not easy. It takes discipline and practice. It requires developing job search skills, and accomplishing tasks we may not wish to perform when we would rather be doing something more enjoyable.
It may seem funny but to get good at focusing you really need to focus!
