This creative work-search program teaches current job search techniques.  Classes are held over two weeks, 9 am – 1 pm each day for two weeks.  After 1 pm you are free to meet with the counselor for individual help, to conduct your job search, and to attend interviews.

You will work on Resume and Electronic Resume Preparation, learn how to Access and Develop Employer Leads and Contacts and Practical "On Line" Job Search Skills, make a Business Card, and find out about Cover Letter Writing, and Interview Techniques.  We will provide an opportunity for Interview Practice. At every stage of your search you will be supported by a qualified, experienced Employment Counsellor.

We also offer all our clients full access to computers, internet, telephones, photocopying, faxing and clerical services.
