| Networking: The Best Way To Find A Job | Thursday, May 7, 2009 10:00 a.m. - Noon |
| If you’re sitting behind a computer answering online postings, your missing the majority of job openings and your job search will take longer. It’s a fact that 70 percent of jobs are never posted or advertised. Find out how to tap into the “hidden” job market by networking. | |
| Temporary Layoff, Permanent Power | Tuesday, May 12, 2009 9:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. |
Turn your time off into dollars and cents! You read that correctly. This session is designed to help you generate ideas on how to generate income while you look for a job. Session includes a motivational presentation and a “think tank” segment to get your creative juices flowing and hopefully some cash flowing as well. Facilitated by Michelle Gines, Urban League staff. |

| How to Read a Job Posting and Write a Targeted Resume | Wednesday, May 20, 2009 10:00 a.m. to Noon |
Learn what employers really mean by some of the things they say in job postings and want ads, and how employers really select people for interviews. Also, learn how to write a resume that matches your qualifications to the needs of the employer’s job, how to enhance your resume for Internet job search, and formatting do’s and don’ts. Bring a copy of a job posting of interest to you and a copy of your resume. Facilitated by Benita Ugoline, Urban League staff. |

| Interviewing Techniques & Tips | Wednesday, June 3, 2009 10:00 a.m. to Noon |
| ITT, one of the Career Marketplace’s corporate partners will be on hand to talk about interviewing, so you get a different perspective. This presentation includes what employers want to hear and see during an interview…what gets them excited about a candidate. Then you’ll get to ask questions. Now’s your chance to learn about interviewing from the employer’s side of the desk. Facilitated ITT Technical Institute. | |
| The Attitude Clinic: “Chicken Soup for the Job Seeker” | Thursday, June 11, 2009 1:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. |
| Whoever said that attitude, not aptitude, determines your altitude, wasn’t kidding. Did you know that your personality makes up 2/3 of your attitude? Are you struggling with staying motivated? Is your due diligence in the doghouse? Let’s take a look at what your attitude is doing or not doing for you in the marketplace. Get the “RIGHT” attitude for your search, your work and your future!! Think of this as your very own personal stimulus during this economic crisis. Facilitated by Michelle Gines, Urban League staff. | |
| Job Clubs & Job Fairs: How to Make the Most of Them | Tuesday, June 16, 2009 10:00 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. |
Never been to a job fair and don’t know how to network with employers? Or maybe you’ve attended job fairs before and come away disappointed? And, how have you faired at the Job Clubs? Never been to one? Think they’re just pity parties? This workshop offers tips on how to have a better experience at your next job club meeting or next job fair. Be prepared as together, we’ll develop a targeted 30-second commercial to introduce yourself in any setting related to your job search. Facilitated by Benita Ugoline, Career Marketplace director. |
|
| Salary Negotiation: How to Make the Most of a Job Offer | Wednesday, June 24, 2009 2:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. |
Forget about what you’re worth in the market. The employer sets the salary and you can only negotiate within the employer’s range. Do you know how to determine what the employer’s range is? Do you know how to effectively talk about salary before an offer is made, so you can negotiate for more when an offer comes? Do you know what to say to convince an employer s/he should start you at a higher salary? If you’re wondering, this workshop’s for you. Facilitated by Benita Ugoline, Career Marketplace director. |
