Gloucester County to hold employment workshops

Gloucester County will hold a series of education workshops for job seekers at several branches of the Gloucester County Library System throughout January and February.

The programs will focus on a wealth of topics, ranging from interviewing skills to resume writing to networking. Each program will feature a guest speaker who is a professional on the topic he or she is presenting.

The first two workshops are being held at 11 a.m. and 6:30 p.m. Jan. 20., at the Glassboro and Mullica Hills branches respectively.

Future dates are listed on the library system Website, http://www.gcls.org/.

The workshops are free, though advance registration is required. Participants can register by calling the branch library or by using the events calendar on the library system site.

How to identify a genuine employment agency

By simple definition, an employment agency is a firm that matches employers with employees. Sometimes they are referred to as recruitment agencies.
Employees place their trust in the agencies to help them find the right job. Employers do the same to find job seekers whose profiles match their needs.
Employees and employers drive economies once they come together and do a good job.
That defines the significance of employment agencies in economies.
It is for such reason that the existence of employment agencies is heavily regulated and monitored in most countries.
Sadly, a lot of Kenyans have suffered in the hands of bogus employment agencies whose existence is not known by the law enforcement agencies, in this case the Ministry of Labour.
Part VII of the Labour Institutions Act prescribes the process for registration of employment agencies, starting with application to the Director of Labour in a prescribed form.
The director is then expected to consult the National Labour Board before issuing a certificate of registration to the applicant.
The applicant must satisfy certain conditions. One, the applicant must be qualified to manage an employment agency.
That means the competencies of the individuals intending to run the agency must be up to scratch in terms of managing human resource and in handling recruitment processes.
Two, the premises in which the agency will carry out its business must be convenient for such kind of work.
This implies that the proposed premises must be inspected by the relevant authorities and given an okay if found to be satisfactory.

Summer job opportunities for Canada’s youth.

 I’m pleased to announce that the Canada Summer Jobs budget for 2011 in our constituency will be $393,933.
The Government of Canada is committed to helping youth find employment and gain skills and experience they need for the jobs of today and tomorrow.
That is why we have permanently increased the budget for Canada Summer Jobs by $10 million, bringing the total program budget to $107.5 million. This new funding will create as many as 3,500 additional jobs for students across the country in summer 2011.
Funding will be available to not-for-profit organizations, public sector employers and small businesses to create high-quality summer job opportunities for young people aged 15 to 30 years who are full-time students and intend to return to school in the next year.
Applications will be available on February 1, 2011, and must be submitted by February 28, 2011.
Interested employers can apply online at www.servicecanada.gc.ca/csj2011 or at their local Service Canada Centre.
Canada Summer Jobs is an important part of the Government’s long-term Youth Employment Strategy, which helps young people get the tools, skills and work experience they need to make a successful transition to the workplace.

Department seeks to help unemployed residents.

ST. GEORGE - As thousands of Washington County residents continue to struggle with unemployment, the Utah Department of Workforce Services has developed a wide array of programs and services to help members of the community as many search for jobs.

Quantcast

While more than 10 percent of the county's work force is considered unemployed, the DWS office in St. George provides a variety of free workshops to assist residents as they seek employment in an increasingly competitive job market.
The department's workshops and specialized programs focus on a wide array of topics, said Teresa Banks, manager of the DWS southwest service area, including resume writing, interviewing and a variety of other topics.
Following about two years of unemployment, St. George resident Kate Deschamps said she sought assistance from the local DWS office, enrolling in the department's newly formed Work Success program.
"I have been looking for a job for so long," she said. "It has really affected my self esteem and confidence."
Deschamps, who lost her job managing a local landscaping company as a result of the recession, said she was able to recapture a sense of confidence with assistance from employment counselors at the DWS office who helped the St. George woman hone her resume writing and interviewing skills.
While Deschamps is enrolled in an intensive DWS program designed to assist unemployed residents develop a wide variety of skills, Banks said the office also offers individual workshops for members of the community seeking to develop specific skills.
DWS employment counselor Jerry Norton said the department offers a basic computer course and a workshop designed to assist residents as they search for jobs online.
Although a growing number of employers require prospective employees to submit online job applications, Banks said many residents lack the necessary computer skills to apply for jobs online.
The five workshops offered by the local DWS office are available twice every month, Banks said.
For Washington City resident Gina Raymond, the department's technology workshop provided a wealth of valuable resources, as the unemployed woman said she was exposed to many websites offering information about local job openings

How to Apply Online For Employment.

If you are interested in learning more about How to Apply Online For Employment. Then check our complete Careers Employment section.
With the internet, email, cell phones that have internet and email access, many people now apply online for employment instead of beating down doors and wearing out shoe leather.
Since many unemployed and underemployed people do apply online for employment, I thought I might share some tips as a professional recruiter.
1) Make your email subject stand out! Do not just send an email with a blank subject line or a one word subject like “job”; be professional and act like the recipient is not just a drone. Your subject should read “Resume for CSR Position Attached” or “Looking for Instructions on How to Apply Online for Employment with your Firm”.

2) In the body of your message always address the receiver with a Dear Sir/Madam as that is the most professional way to address a complete stranger in the workforce via email.

3) If you are attaching your resume, explain that in the body of the message as well as tell the recipient what format you are using. Also, ask if the format is how they want to receive your resume.

4) If you hear nothing after a couple of days, send a follow up email with the subject “I’d like to apply online for employment”. In the body of the message explain that you sent the recipient an email a couple of days later and that you wanted to know their preferred method of online employment applications.
The main point you need to see here is that if you send a bland email with a bland subject, the odds of you getting an interview are much slimmer than if you send something that is professional, imaginative and shows respect to the recipient.
The point of the email to the human resource department is not to get hired, it is to get your resume in front of the person that does the actual weeding out of employable persons and if your email stands out, you have a much better chance of getting that resume read.
Take the above tips and use them to apply online for employment and your batting average will go up significantly!

Illinois employment services available on Web during holiday.

The offices of the Illinois Department of Employment Security will be closed Monday in observance of Martin Luther King Jr. Day. Offices will reopen Tuesday from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. Although IDES will be closed, all services the department provides through its website will be available at www.ides.state.il.us.
