One of our New York City launch attendees said it best, “Having a spiritual foundation (in your job search) is everything.”
Shining a Spiritual Light on Your Job Search
Mike Mooslin, Los Angeles
Excerpt:
“What is your competitive edge? Your secret sauce? Is it everything on your resume? Is it that elevator pitch? What do you bring that’s totally unique to you? The Gospel of Mark said it best: ‘Let your light so shine before men that they may see your good works and glorify your Father which is in heaven.’ I like to turn this around, Let your light so shine before men that they that may see that your inherent goodness works, does work, is working, always has worked. So that the interviewer is not seeing your list of accomplishments but your inherent goodness. That’s what’s touching them, that’s what’s getting you the job, and that’s what your competitive edge is. And it’s your competitive edge because there isn’t anything that can compete against it!”

Christian Science and Your Job Search
Susan Collins, CS, New York City
Excerpt:
“The truth is, actually, that if we understand the Science of Being, the Science of God, we can never be without work, ever. Because God’s nature is productivity, unstoppable unfoldment, bounty, harvest, progress–and we’re his image and likeness. We must employ, we must utilize the gifts and talents that we’re given. God has made us able to hear him, to understand him, and obey him.
“So, if we truly have the desire to bless mankind, to be an influence for good, and our motives and aspirations are pure and honest–and we’re willing to work hard and unselfishly, purposefully–God will ALWAYS have work for us. Jesus proved this. He stayed about his Father’s business, doing good.”
