Are you interested in learning more about all the stages of the employment journey and the steps you can take to lead you on a path to success? We are offering a series of workshops that cover many topics related to finding a job, keeping a job, and thriving in the workplace.
Join us Wednesday, June 11 from 10 a.m. to Noon to learn how to search and apply for jobs as well as create a reference list.
Specifically, you will:
- Learn where to look for jobs, including the hidden job market
- Learn how to ensure your resume will get through an Applicant Tracking System (ATS)
- Learn who to include on your reference list and how to format it
The workshop includes classroom instruction and time to practice what you’ve learned with one-on-one support from the facilitators, Ryan and Sherry.
