There are a number of reasons why your search for employment may not be yielding results as quickly as you would like. Besides a competitive job market, there may be other reasons. Are you sure that you’re clearly articulating what you want to do? Are you individualizing and customizing each application and cover letter? Are you handling your job search with a fresh, up-to-the minute approach? In this session you’ll identify some of the reasons that your job search may not be successfully moving forward, and what you can do to change your strategies.

WHAT IS LINKS: LINKS is an acronym for Leads, Information, Networking, Know-how, and Strategies. It is an educational and motivational program designed to help candidates prepare for the week ahead and to share conversation, contacts, and job-search information in a relaxed, friendly environment. For the unemployed professional, LINKS is a “place to go” to focus on the job search when others go to work on Monday Mornings. LINKS sessions are free and open to the public. Reservations are required.
