Job Search Workshop

I participate in the job search workshop which is being held in MicroSkills Resource Centre on the 9th floor. The name of the instructor is Nina. This workshop is for full week, Mon. 20 - Fri. 24, starting at 10 a.m. and finishing at 1 p.m.
Today, we learned some tips about how to make a cold call, what we can say and what we can't say when we are calling cold. Nina told us about different job search methods. She taught us how to look for a job, how to apply and how to prepare ourselves for an interview.
Tomorrow, we will review our resumes and cover letters and discuss the highlights of our resume.
In my opinion, such workshops are very useful, especially for newcomers. Because we need to understand the Canadian job market. And this seminar will prepare me for the next career fair, which will take place on September 29th, 2010, in Scarborough.
