Interviewing
The greater competition in the job market today has increased the need for job seekers to be well-prepared for Job Interviewing. Learn the the questions you will be asked and how to handle the new kinds of interviews (group, video, etc.) so you ace that interview and land your new job.
Job Search Networking
Experts tell us that 80% of jobs are landed by networking, not applying for jobs on job boards. Job Search Networking doesn't need to be scary - it can be as simple as getting in touch with friends, family, former colleagues, and others you see every day.
Social Media
Social media is a relatively new phenomena, but the impact has been enormous and seems to be increasing. If you work, LinkedIn is THE social network for your career as well as your job search.
