Whether you are new to the job market or are looking for your next employment opportunity, it is important to recognize how social media and communication can play an integral role in a successful job search plan.
One of the top challenges for many of today's job seekers is a lack of technical knowledge and abilities. The good news is that help is out there.
In today's job market, I cannot help but notice a recurring trend - many large companies are using staffing agencies to fill their positions.
The Winchester Workforce Center is hosting a "How to Develop an Effective Federal Resume" presentation from 10 a.m. - 1p.m. Thursday, Sept. 20. Reservations are required and veterans have priority.
Did you know that the Winchester Workforce Center, Virginia Employment Commission and the "unemployment office" are one and the same?
Most people have probably held a short term job or two in their past. Should you put those transitionary positions on your resume?
If you are not using Facebook as a job search tool, you could be overlooking a prime networking opportunity. With 85 percent of job openings filled through networking of one kind or anther, what better place to connect with friends, family and colleagues.
For years now I have been preaching about how the people with the shortest and most successful job searches are the ones who go above and beyond what the average job seeker efforts are. You must be a sales and marketing expert, a detective and a research analyst.
In an effort to provide job seekers with the most information in the most convenient way possible, we have a convenient monthly workshop schedule.
Over the past few months, I have met with a lot of people! One of the concerns I hear most often from folks is that they feel employers perceive them as overqualified candidates and therefore never get looked at with serious consideration.
