Improve your Job Search Skills, Tues., Oct. 11

Meet with our volunteer coaches (each an experienced hiring manager) for a one-on-one "Work Session" to get your resume and handbill reviewed, develop networking & interviewing skills, or talk with a coach about spiritual/emotional/financial help needs.

If you are new to networking, come at 6:30 pm for an introduction to networking tools like the Handbill and the Elevator Speech. At 7:00 pm, you can work one-on-one with our coaches or participate in a structured "Networking Session" to practice skills and expand your network. Bring copies of your handbill or resume.

We meet October 11 in the St. Mary Immaculate Parish Faith Sharing Room at 15629 South Route 59 in Plainfield.
