One important key to success is self-confidence. An important key to self-confidence is preparation. - Arthur Ashe
Our Background
The St. Catherine’s Support Circle is one of the faith-based missions of The Parish of St. Catherine of Siena and St. Agnes. We were founded to help parishioners navigate the employment challenges of the 2009 recession. We’ve evolved over the years and currently provide support programs for job seekers and encourage participation by both job seekers and those interested in providing their advice and support.
The SCSC steering committee includes professionals who have experience in diverse areas including human resources, executive search, career coaching, clinical career counseling, general management, education, marketing, public relations, finance, accounting and IT. If you have similar experience, and would be interested in joining your fellow professionals on the committee, we welcome you to attend one of our monthly SCSC meetings to speak to one of our steering committee members.
Upcoming Meetings
Translating Your Experience into Modern Value: Positioning Yourself in the AI Era
Zoom Presentation
Thursday, June 11th, 7:00 to 8:15 PM
Job searches today look very different than they did even a few years ago — AI is changing how employers screen candidates, what skills they prioritize, and the language they expect to hear. This session is designed for experienced professionals navigating that shift. Senior Human Resources Executive and Chief People Officer Michelle Bucaria will lead a practical, candid conversation on how to translate decades of experience into the language, framing, and value that resonates in the AI era. We’ll cover reframing accomplishments, signaling adaptability and AI fluency, and building a clear, compelling story — focused on every advantage that is within your control. Early-career job seekers are also welcome; the resume-framing and AI-fluency portions will be useful at any career stage.
About the Presenter:
Michelle Bucaria is a senior Human Resources executive who has served as Chief Human Resources Officer and Chief People Officer at companies including Jamf Software, PointClickCare, and Teladoc Health, following a long career at J.P. Morgan Chase leading firmwide campus recruiting and global HR.
