Resume Writing and Job Search Workshop

.
Take our Resume Writing and Job Search workshop at the Taber Provincial Building to get hands-on learning on how to create your own cover letter and resume! This is what the workshop covers: 

You have 30 seconds to tell me about yourself - GO!  
...that is how much time employers take to look over your resume. What catches their attention in 30 seconds determines whether your resume goes into the No pile or the Yes pile. This section of the class will introduce you to the different styles of resumes and which ones are best to use in different situations. You will learn how to word your resume with “high-impact statements” that are sure to capture an employers attention. Punctuation, spelling and sentence structure are important areas that need to be completed accurately since experienced interviewers will catch little mistakes. A properly prepared resume indicates that you have taken the time to prepare it, tend to the details and not just “slap something together”. A resume is essentially a sales brochure on you and how well it is done reflects directly on you!  
Looking for a job is a “job in itself”
Want to learn some tricks of the trade to help you find and land the job that you want? This section of the class will show you how to tap into the “hidden job market”.  Learn some basic proven skills that will give you that “polish” that an employer is looking for.

Talk to Career Resource Centre staff / give us a call @ 223-5049 for dates & times & to register.
