NEW: Prepare for a Job Interview

Note: Donna Brand will do both workshops in May (May 6 and May 20). The May 6 meeting will be devoted to "Interviewing Skills"

A Job Search Workshop is held the first and third Tuesdays of each month at 10 am at the SER Office. We discuss topics such as:

• Cover letters
• Internet job search
• Networking
• Interviews, and
• Iissues shared by other job seekers

The moderator of the first Tuesday meeting is Arne Meyrow: in addition to over thirty-eight years of experience as a teacher and a career counselor, has a doctorate in adult education and human resources development. His job workshop has two themes. The first provides a forum to discuss issues facing Seniors who either need or want a job at this time of their lives. The second deals with the realities of finding a job in the twenty-first century. Specifically focusing on:

• Using SER's JobLine,
• Searching the internet for jobs,
• Relevant and potent internet web sites,
• The role of résumés and cover letters in the electronic age,
• Key word searches,
• What employers are looking for in employees, and
• How to highlight the strengths seniors bring to the workplace.
