Quest's Workshops Get You Ready for a Successful Job Search
At
Job Quest - Career Services you will be provided with all
of the tools and support that you will need to prepare yourself
for a successful job search. You will also receive help
in planning your training or career path.
With
all the new and changing employment opportunities in the Selkirk
and Interlake area, it is more important then ever to be prepared
- before you hear about that interesting job opening
or see that perfect job advertised. We can even help
you discover ways of learning about openings before
they are advertised.
We
provide workshops on resume writing, career planning, interviewing
skills and job search techniques. Our services are also
available in Stonewall, Gimli, Arborg and Fisher Branch.
Our resource area contains many informative publications on
training progams and institutions. You will also find
up-to-date information on employment trends. Visit our
job bank postings regularly to learn who is hiring right now.
Call
Job Quest now, or drop in to see us at the Selkirk and District
Community Learning Centre (511 Robinson Avenue). We
would be pleased to tell you how our workshops can help you
develop the personal marketing tools you will need in your
job search and also assist you in your career and training
exploration. Phone (204) 482-2100 or
Toll
