Community-Based Support SystemsThe week of March 14-20 offers two great opportunities to learn about what it takes to land a job in tough times. The first workshop focuses most specifically on quality resume and cover letter writing. The second is broader and focuses on HR issues, from an insider's perspective, that any job seeker needs to understand. Both workshops are free and open to the public.
On Tuesday, March 16, from 6:15 - 8:15 p.m., the library will host a workshop for job seekers. Business professional Jeff Thierfeld will instruct on how to develop a polished resume and cover letter with focus on directly targeting employers who are looking for your skills and abilities.
