Workshops |
| Throughout the year, Career Placement
Services presents a variety of workshops that are designed to
provide job seekers with the knowledge and skills necessary
to compete effectively for employment offers. The dates and
times for these workshops are posted on our Career Placement
Calendar, which can be viewed by clicking on the calendar link
on this page. A listing of workshop subjects with brief descriptions
of each are given below: |
| Focuses on how to make the most
from attending job fairs. Certain things are expected from you
by the employers—what are those things and what do you
need to do to be prepared? The workshop also focuses on how
to dress appropriately for job fairs and interviews. |
| The informational interview can
help you to determine whether a particular line of work is right
for you, whether you are qualified, and what you need to do
to prepare yourself for a career in that field. |
| The job interview is the primary
tool used by most employers to determine which candidate(s)
to offer a job to. This workshop shows you what to do to prepare
for an interview, how to make a positive first impression, how
to conduct yourself during the interview, and how to follow
up after the interview. Examples of common interview questions
will be shared as well as tips on what not to do in an interview. |
| Job seekers are shown how to build
and maintain people networks that will help them to identify
new job opportunities in their desired career fields, as well
as how to use them to gain important information about companies
and specific job opportunities. |
| The Internet is a powerful tool
for locating job opportunities, researching companies, and learning
more about any topic concerning the job search. This workshop
will show the job seeker where and how to access this information
on the Internet. |
| Well-written resumes open the doors
to interview opportunities. They are generally used by employers
to determine which candidates will be invited for a job interview
and which will be screened out. Not only does the candidate
need to have the knowledge, skills, and experience required
for the job, but he/she also needs to convey those qualifications
on their resume in a way that is clear, concise, and easy to
read with a professional look. This workshop teaches the job
seeker how to use a resume, which type of resume is right for
them, what content to include in the resume, how the content
should be arranged, and how to write a cover letter. Those who
attend will also learn what a scannable resume is, how to write
one, and when to use it. Even those who have already written
their resume can benefit from this workshop…especially
if they are having trouble landing interview appointments. |
