This 90-minute webinar is part 1 of 2 and was recorded on September 9, 2013.
If you asked the people in your community what comes to mind when they think of your library, many might say “a resource for our community.” What better resource could you be than for those who have recently (or not so recently) been laid off – or for those who fear they soon will be?
"Laid off" – those dreaded words. Those of us who are employed can only imagine the fear and frustration that must face the many people who have lost their jobs and haven’t been able to secure another position. But what can we do? Most of us don’t have jobs available for them even if they have a perfect resume. But here’s the catch – most of them don’t have even a close-to-perfect resume – and some have no idea where to start. If they do have a resume, there’s a good chance they think they can sit in front of a computer screen, submit dozens of resumes, and a job will magically appear. Employment experts are estimating that as many as 80% of the jobs being found during the downturn in our economy are found through networking, not through plastering your resume all over town, and that includes “cybertown"...
In this first session of the How to Conduct Resume and Interviewing Workshops at Your Library series, we will discuss what needs to be on a resume and what you should get rid of – now! We will also delve into how you go about networking – what is it? Why is it so important today? How does my personality affect my inclination to network?
You’ll find this session not only helpful to your library patrons, but also helpful to you or someone you know who may need this information in the future. And you’ll leave the webinar with handouts you can use to conduct your own resume workshops in your library.
