You have a toolbox, and you take it with you to every new job. In that box are your transferable skills, and your skillset includes both technical skills and "good employee/great team player" skills. Those skills were developed in school, in your home life, through hobbies, and at previous jobs. Let's make an inventory! Job seekers also need to assess the level of expertise for each skill - and analyze the job posting to figure out which tools and skills will be valuable to that employer for that position.

RegisterResearching a company before you apply for a job opening can make the difference for successful job seekers. The benefit of doing company research is to learn how to tailor your Professional Summary, the "easter egg" in your cover letter, and the answers you give in the interviews so your application has the key words, values, or work philosophy that the company is looking for. Job search success comes from convincing the company that you are the almost-perfect solution to their missing-talent problems! We will talk about "Why?" and provide a collection of resources.

RegisterThe job search process is made up of a collection of places to tell the employer about your skills and experience. From the very first step, an application, to the first question at the interview – "So, tell me about yourself." -- your job search path offers many opportunities to explain why YOU are the best fit for the open position at that company. Even what you wear to the interview is a "tell" and your error-free resume tells about your attention to detail and computer skills! In this workshop, we will walk through all the steps and identify all the "tells."

RegisterYour job search will be successful when you are hired for the job that is right for you. When you can identify the types of jobs, the kind of workplace, and the rewards of employment that make your work meaningful and satisfying, you have identified the right place to start your job search! Did you know that employee turn-over costs a lot of money, plus can affect a company's reputation? Employers want you to know what is The Right Fit for you, too. Don't apply for jobs that will never be the right fit for you! This workshop provides self-analysis questions and tools to help you identify the right job search goal.
