If you communicate effectively, you can have anything in this world you want, including your dream job. This workshop is designed to teach professionals how to communicate more effectively on paper, online, and in-person. The three key elements to an effective job search includes a well-written resume/CV, an updated LinkedIn profile, and polished interviewing skills. In addition to learning strategies, tips, and techniques on how to update their resume/CV, participants will understand what employers are looking for in a LinkedIn profile, and how to prepare for and conduct interviews that are sure to make them stand out in a crowd of competitive candidates.
