Get Help With Your Job Search

Even under the best of circumstances, job hunting can be difficult and make you anxious. We care and want to help.

Improve your job search skills and network with other women in a similar situation. Our 3-hour Job Search Workshops are facilitated by volunteer job counselors. Our volunteers are experienced executive coaches or seasoned human resource professionals with many years of experience who enjoy helping other women achieve their goals.

The five major topics covered in each Job Search Workshop are:

  • Developing your job hunting strategy
  • How to use the internet to look for and apply for jobs
  • Creating a great resume and cover letter
  • Interview preparation and professional appearance
  • Dealing with the emotion of change and transition

    One–on-one job counseling is available on Wednesdays. Appointments are 1 ½ hours. A donation of $20 is requested for appointments. Contact us to schedule an appointment.
