National Unemployment Problem, Local MN Solution

Oct. 10, 2011 - PRLog -- President Obama has said getting people back to work is his number one priority. Governor Dayton has the same mission. You Can Get Hired is here to help! We have a free monthly workshop in Maple Grove, MN where we bring in experts that talk about the various aspects of the job search in today's market. We talk about the hidden job market, networking, resumes, interviewing, how to dress for success, using social media in the job search and more.

This month's workshop features Joan Runnheim Olson of Pathways Career Success Strategies who will talk about networking & the hidden job market. Is it real? We think so. There are many statistics out there that say over 50% of jobs are not posted anywhere and are filled through people they know. Learn strategies to build and/or revitalize your network & create a plan to sustain it to find a job.

Have you ever interviewed for a job and knew you had “all the right stuff” but still didn’t get hired? It could be because you weren’t delivering your information in the right language. Learn how to land an interview and then land the job using the People Plus + tool with Drs Bruce & Kathy Martin. The Martins will give you a quick & easy assessment tool & then teach you to use it to get that job!

These workshops are sponsored by Jim Bear of J Alan Financial. Over the last year or so, Bear noticed that many of his clients found themselves in the job market again after being at their jobs over the last 20+ years. As a way to give back to his clients and his community, he started this project. Bear's mission with this project is to be a part of lowering the unemployment rate in Minnesota.
