As a job-seeker, have you used the newspaper classifieds or Internet job-search engines thinking that all you need to do is to contact three or four firms which interest you and you're hired?

It is not that simple!

Join a weekly career group for networking strategies. The purpose of each session is to develop job-search skills, exchange job leads and contacts, meet employers and make friends.

YOU DO NOT HAVE TO BE THE BEST CANDIDATE TO GET THE JOB. BUT YOU DO NEED A PLAN! Career planning is based on market forces. Employers look for candidates who have achieved demonstrated success in multiple environments and have the ability to manage change. While you cannot guarantee the outcome of your career, you can precisely target appropriate areas and give a valid reason to be hired. The Employment Support Center will consult with members to develop a reality-based career plan to explain how you can use the Center's demonstrated techniques to get you the job you want.
