Job Club Tonight: Behind the Scenes
Job club is a wonderful opportunity to network, engage in relevant job development strategies, and to receive free consultations for interviews. Rebecca, Emily, and I enjoy preparing presentations utilizing some of the most up to date resources available on job placement and job preparation. Often, this involves a lot of research. This may, for instance, involve checking out resources online, in books, or through communication with one of our many community partners.
Through surveys and client feedback, we try to tailor our information for those individuals who have a felony criminal background. We have often noted that information regarding employment for individuals with felony records is scarce, so we continuously strive to think outside of the box when it comes finding great sources of information.
In addition, we love having guest presentations that really encourage our job club participants to think about how they can market themselves in an often turbulent economic climate. All three of us enjoy the hard work that it takes to make Job Club a valuable contribution to our workforce development strategy.
If you are a community member, and you would like to learn more about job club and how you can help us make our communities safer by creating better acclimated citizens, please contact the workforce development team at 734.327.9717.

Job Club Tonight: Using Technology Effectively
Tonight's job club topic will about using technology effectively for job hunting. This is your chance to ask our workforce development staff about Internet or computer questions. We all know that technology is changing the way we interact, but technology is also changing the way we get employed. A lot of companies are switching from paper, in-store applications to online applications housed on their business website. In addition, actual jobs are now being posted online on websites like Craigslist, Indeed, or the Michigan Talent Bank. As I like to say in our workshops, if you don't understand computer and Internet technology you could literally be left in the dark.
We look forward to seeing all of you at Job Club. This event is free and open to the public. Light refreshments will be served.
