Navigating the Job Market: Staying Positive and Creating an Effective Resume

featuring:


Allan Pizzurro, Contract Specialist

Join us for dinner and a presentation on Monday, May 19th! Al Pizzurro will share his knowledge about writing resumes, job-searching, and staying positive in the process. This is a perfect program for those in the process of changing jobs, students, and those who just want to update their skills and resumes.

Presentation

With today’s uncertain economy, it’s best to be proactive about your employment opportunities and marketing your talents. Whether you are just starting your career or making a change, Allan (Al) Pizzurro can offer advice to help you to deal with the ups and downs of job-searching and how to get back into the market. He uses his own experience in job-searching and as a manager to assist people in creating or improving their resumes, guiding them on how to search and apply for positions over the Internet, and providing insight on how to view every opportunity as a chance to network. He also assists people in interview preparation techniques and
how to stay actively positioned in the face of negative thoughts especially from places you least expect.

Showcase Your Work!

In addition to the presentation, you’ll have a chance to show off your talents to your peers. Bring your best work to show what you’re writing, creating, editing, or building.
