Looking for a job is a full time job. And when the economy takes a downward turn, job seekers need to get creative.  How do you find a job, when the headlines are filled with news of layoffs, closures and cuts?

In this hour-and-a-half workshop, you will gain skills to refresh your job search and learn creative ways to seek employment when the market is tough.


Topics covered include:

  • Steps to take after a layoff
  • Considering all options
  • Knowing your skills – and how to sell them – on paper, online, and in person
  • Building connections in person and through social media
  • The 80/20 strategy of networking
  • Things to avoid
