Effective Job Search Strategies

This in-person workshop offers targeted support for professionals affected by recent cuts in federal government and related sectors. The workshop will provide hands-on guidance in identifying transferable skills, building a personal brand, navigating the hidden job market through networking, and developing strong interview techniques.

Participants will also explore how to use modern tools and strategies to navigate today’s job market—from crafting targeted private-sector resumes that pass Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS) to leveraging platforms like LinkedIn, ChatGPT, and Jobscan to strengthen their search.

Whether you’re early in your career or a seasoned executive, this session provides an actionable roadmap for re-entering the workforce in today’s competitive environment.
