|
This online workshop is a guide for anyone seeking employment. Although it won't get you a job, it will help you develop a plan, sell your skills to employers, and shorten your period of unemployment. It addresses some of the challenges you may experience in job seeking and provides tips on new and effective job search techniques.
In the past few years, the entire process of looking for work has changed. There is now increased competition for jobs, making the application and interviewing process more complicated and difficult. To be successful in seeking employment, job hunters must be aware of the following trends.
- lifelong employment with one organization is less common
- workers are required to learn new skills as technologies change
- most new jobs are in services and information
- organizations are slimming down to smaller staff/work teams
- there is a marked increase in temporary employment
- job security is considered 3-7 years with the same employer
- the average age of workers is rising
Job hunting can be frustrating, yet it can also be a challenging and rewarding experience. It requires knowledge, energy, and commitment. The Georgia Department of Labor wants to assist you as you seek new employment.
