Interview Skills Work-Out
A well-prepared resume gets you in the door. The interview will be the
time when you present at your best. We offer tips and tools on
preparing for the interview, how to market yourself and your skills
during the interview, and suggestions for following up after the
interview. There will also be a focus on handling those tough interview
questions you hope they won't ask. The Job Centre can also arrange a
'mock interview' for you with one of our staff. It will give you the
opportunity to practice your interview technique in a safe environment
and where you will receive honest, helpful feedback.
Getting the Most Out of Job
Fairs
Job Fairs are the new wave of recruiting for many Niagara employers. It
is important to prepare for the job fair much the same way as you would
for a traditional employment interview. However, when you are preparing
to meet with 20 or more employers within a short period of time, there
are some extra preparations you must take in order to get the most o f
the job fair experience.
If there is a workshop
topic you would like to learn about that
isn't listed above, we are happy to develop a workshop tailored to
your needs. Contact the Manager of Employment Services at
(905) 834-3629 Ext. 225.
