For some people, beginning to
search for a job can be a difficult task. You need to sell
yourself and your skills to a potential employer. The
thought of having to attend an interview can be quite daunting for
someone who hasn’t worked for some time.
Firstly, you will need an up to date
CV which will promote ‘you’ and ‘what you can offer’ to an
employer. Our Advisers will be able to help you put
together a CV that a potential employer will want to read. We can
also help you with completing application forms, writing covering
letters and preparing for interviews.
Our centres provide all the tools you
need for searching for a job including access to newspapers, the
internet, a photocopier, computers, stamps, stationery and of
course there will be the latest news on local vacancies.
We also hold
regular job search sessions, which give you the opportunity to
learn how to brush up your interview technique, help you deal with
job rejection, and provide job hunting tips. They also give you a
chance to speak to other customers allowing you to share
experiences and job information, and even perhaps make a friend or
two.
