What To Do............

 

Get Help with Your Job Search..by using the

RETHINKING, RETOOLING AND RECHARGING

Program by Beatryce Nivens

  • Rethink---- Rethink your situation. Are you in a field that offers new opportunities? Or do you have change careers? Are your skills transferable to another industry or field?   Perhaps you will have to retrain or go back to school. If so, you may be eligible for a training grant from the US Department of Labor (Get information from your local One Stop Career Center). Or you might train for a Green Job. Or maybe it's time to reach back and follow your true dreams. It's never too late.   

  • Retooling.........Retool by having the best tools at your fingertips. Start by redoing your resume or getting professional help from a coach. When doing your resume, think about accomplishments or the results of your work. Think numbers (How many?), amounts (How much money?) and/or percentages. Retool by learning the most  up-to-date methods of job search including the Internet. Learn how to interview.

  • Recharge.... Be positive. In every adversity, something positive can come out of it. After being downsized, for example, many of my clients have gone on to better careers or even started businesses. So..put some positive energy into thinking about the future. Recharge yourself by believing in your possibilities!
