 Creative Job Search Workshop

We live in a constantly changing economy. Corporate reorganizations, new technologies and global    competition affect all our lives. Workers today will hold many jobs and will change careers several times in their lifetime. Job success is dependent on marketable job skills and a passion for excellence. Those workers who stay on the cutting edge of change will see greater potential for personal growth and economic security.

One of the greatest areas of change is the way people look for work. It is not enough to be ready and willing to work. A successful job search today requires a very calculated effort. Job Seekers not only need marketable job skills, they need the skills to market them. You may be the best at what you do; but if you cannot convince a potential employer, you will not win the job. Today's successful job seekers use a variety of skills in their job search - skills that can be learned.

Creative Job Search services are offered by Job Service offices and Workforce Centers throughout Minnesota. Expert staff are available to help people master a successful job search.
