Have you been concerned that your job search strategy isn’t on target and you are losing exciting opportunities? Well, you may be right! Searching for a job is a challenging process,  requiring many ingredients for it to work well. Most job seekers don’t know all the critical ingredients and go into a job search without the advantages and benefits a well-developed strategy provides. Thus, your job search is more frustrating and takes longer than it should.

Attend this workshop and learn:

• All the critical ingredients of a comprehensive job search
• Productive job search attitudes and behaviors
• How to avoid missteps and lost opportunities

Searching for a job is difficult to start with, and even more so when you are not using the most productive search strategies available. You owe it to yourself to make sure that you are doing the best job search you can.

All workshops are free, but registration is required. Participants will be emailed Zoom meeting information upon registration.
