Get resume help at workshops
Published 12:01 am Monday, September 19, 2011
Sno-Isle Libraries and WorkSource are offering free workshops to help unemployed people with their resumes.
A regular library patron recently told her local librarian that she had received not one, but two job offers after taking the workshop, Sno-Isle spokesman Ken Harvey said.
Job s
eekers in this economy need all the help they can get, Harvey said.
Sno-Isle Libraries and WorkSource have scheduled “Creating a Targeted Resume” workshops to be offered around the county.
The goal of the free workshops is to help job applicants get noticed by application screeners.
By having a resume targeted toward a specific job, people can show off the skills that employers value and increase their chances of getting interviews and ultimately landing the right job, Harvey said.
Sno-Isle Libraries serves 671,000 residents in Snohomish and Island counties.
WorkSource helps people with employment and training services. No fees are charged for any of the services offered.
