This workshop takes a new look at the job search process and focusses on the steps that YOU control. Have you listed all of your transferable skills? Are your computer skills strong enough to post a resume on the many online jobs boards? How do you set targets for your search? Have you considered the same job in a different industry, or a different job at the same company? Like every skill you have in your toolbox, your job search skills get better with practice. In this workshop, we'll look at each of the steps in a job search and identify the resources available to you from your local job center and its partners.

Your 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.

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.
