It’s time to look for a job. Now what? The classified ads in the paper are shrinking in size, and the “help wanted” signs are nowhere to be found. In our increasingly digital world, social media is more important than the newspaper, employers are using websites for accepting job applications, electronic resumes have to be uploaded with the application, and personality assessments are commonplace. Filling out an application, even years ago, took about 20 minutes. Today, you might spend 45 minutes to 2 hours filling out an online application. Your time is valuable. Making sure you are applying to the job you really want is important. By the end of this course, you will be able to:
- Find the right job or career for you
- Search and apply to the job online
- Create and send resumes and cover letters
- Use email and social media in your search
- Interview for jobs with confidence
This course will help you develop the skills you need for a successful job search .
