PREP To Get Hired!

PREP to Get Hired is a four part educational series that gives tips and advice to job seekers that will improve their chances of having their resume come to the top of the pile, of having them be one of the people called for a phone interview, and of having them be in the top 5 who get invited in for an in-person interview.  The information provided will also help participants improve the impression they make in the interview so they can become the best candidate for the job.

Topics covered will include resume writing, interviewing tips, and how to find job openings.  But what’s unique is that we’ll be giving them from the perspective of someone who does the hiring at a company – what is it that HR professionals need to see from you, read from you,  or hear you say that will first get you noticed, then invited in for an interview, and then hopefully offered the job.

The program will also be teaching participants ways to make contacts with people that can lead to job opportunities that will never be found on a website search.

The sessions will run on Tuesday, November 15; Tuesday, November 22; Wednesday, November 30; and Tuesday, December 6.  Session times are 5:30 pm- 7:00 pm. They are open to the public, but the intended audience is people who have already held professional positions in their life and find themselves either out of work or needing to make a change.  It can often happen that a person with professional experience in a certain type of job can’t find any work of that type – but our sessions will help them identify the skills and knowledge they have that can be transferred into other types of jobs where there might be openings.
