By Rita Shabot, Career Division Director at SBH
At the SBH Career Division, our mission is simple yet deeply impactful: to help every job seeker find confidence, direction, and meaningful opportunity. We believe that when one person rises, the entire community rises with them.
Our Passion to Help
Every day, our dedicated team of professional job developers, résumé writers, and volunteer coaches walks into the Career Division with purpose. We understand that searching for work – whether you’re just beginning your journey or navigating a career transition – can feel overwhelming. At SBH, no one walks alone.
The voices of our clients speak powerfully to this care. One individual shared:
“You really helped me out with my résumé and connecting me with job opportunities. I’m waiting to hear back from a few companies and have a second-round interview on Monday thanks to one of the connections you made. Thank you for your assistance through all this. Wishing you a happy and healthy new year. Shanah Tovah!”
Messages like these affirm the impact of our work every single day.
Our Process: Step by Step, Side by Side
From the moment someone reaches out, we take the time to listen—to goals, concerns, and even insecurities. We create a personalized plan, offer targeted support, and remain alongside our clients throughout their journey.
One client expressed this experience with deep gratitude:
“Sheri, I want to thank you for being so available and patient with me through this process. I believe you must have a degree in social work because you addressed many of my insecurities. May Hashem continue to give you the words to help all who rely on you. You have a special gift!”
This kind of trust is something we cherish and strive to earn every day.
We’re Here for You
Our professionals do far more than match résumés to job postings. They are motivators, strategists, advocates, and emotional supports. Clients consistently feel seen, valued, and believed in.
As one person shared:
“Nathan treated me like his only client and genuinely cared about the mission of finding me a new role. SBH, and those who reach out, are fortunate to have him. Thank you.”
This level of care is not the exception – it is our standard.
Our Volunteers: The Heartbeat of Our Division
We are blessed with an extraordinary network of volunteer job coaches and retention coaches who give selflessly of their time, experience, and hearts. They mentor, encourage, and inspire – often continuing their support long after a placement is made.
One client captured this sentiment perfectly:
“Thank you for your assistance. I definitely appreciate that you’re on the other end trying to make things better for everyone.”
Their gratitude reflects the lasting ripple effect created by our volunteers’ compassion.
