who work in your field and establish
lasting relationships.

in the healthcare field who might be
willing to speak with you, even if they
don’t know of openings.

  7. We also expect a few things from you. First, be sure to keep an updated resume with you at all times and an electronic version of your resume saved online for easy access. We often have employers here, and having your resume on-hand gives you an advantage. If you need help building or updating your resume, consider taking one of our resume development workshops. Next, we encourage you to arrive on time for all appointments, stay positive, and dress professionally. The jobseekers who stand out because of their professionalism are more likely to be matched to one of our job opportunities. Finally: stay connected. Let us know when you get a job, and keep your contact information up-to-date so we can reach you for career advancement opportunities.
  8. Before we talk about the Next Steps you will take with us at the Healthcare Career Center, I want to highlight a few key services offered at the Healthcare Career Center which cater to the needs of the healthcare industry: Job Search Strategy Workshop– According to the Department of Labor, finding a job can take months of time and effort. But you can speed the process by using many methods to find job openings. Data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics suggest that people who use many job search methods find jobs faster than people who use only one or two. Interview Workshop– Interviews are an opportunity to show you are an enthusiastic worker who would do a job well. You can make the most of that opportunity by being prepared, presenting a professional demeanor, and describing your qualifications well. There are many types of interviews: screening interviews, second and third interviews, intended to help employers make final selections; and telephone and video conferencing interviews, arranged to capitalize on available technology. Although these interviews often have different purposes, they all require basic interviewing skills. Resume Guidance – Writing a resume is more than just listing a set of credentials or special talents. It is very much like planning to write a persuasive essay. Every resume has a target audience (the employer(s) who will use it to evaluate you as a job candidate) and a purpose (to convince an employer that you are worth interviewing for a specific job).
