You’ve found yourself out of work resulting from COVID-19 – you’ve either been laid off, or your employer can’t offer you enough hours to meet your needs. You find yourself looking for a new job. There are several things you can do to begin your job search, starting with Job Skills’ online workshops to help with career development and skills related to your job search.
Let’s count down the top 9 benefits of attending a Job Skills’ online workshop:
