Any requests from the peanut gallery?

 As many of you know, the schedule of workshop topics has been consistent over the years.

Every so often a new one may be added, an old one taken away. But buy-and-large it has been consistent.  This is so everyone can attend them all.  Miss 'Internet Basics, Pt. 1: Tech and Terms' this month? Don't sweat it, it'll be back next month.

Ohhh, but woe unto thee that has attended them all! Besides the plethora of knowledge, you would have gained, there is nothing new to learn! You don't even get an' I attended every CareerLink® virtual workshop and lived to tell the tale' Commemorative T-shirt!

Well, my dear friends, I am open to requests. Is there a topic you would like me to present that I have not covered yet? A 'special guest' (within reason - I cannot swing getting Taylor Swift to co-host, try as I might) you would like to talk to and plumb the depth of their knowledge? Keep in mind it should relate to some aspect of improving your career/job prospects.

And let's be real - that is an extremely broad category. Any form of self-improvement can relate to your job performance. Technology, transportation, education, incarceration, inflation, and childcare are just a few topics.

If you think of one that others can also profit from, send me an email and I will check into it. I can always schedule a 'special' workshop that may not be on our normal calendar of events but pops up as a 'special event'.

Remember, we are here to help you. So let me know how, workshop-wise, I can do that.

Peace

Oh - did I mention FREE?

I have always thought that CareerLink needed to do more to let people know who we are and what we do. Sometimes it seems like the only people who know we exist (or think we only provide services) are the unemployed. While we offer more and more services along these lines, invaluable assistance, I will dare to say, CareerLink is so much more. YES - we have an excellent website to help the LOCAL job seeker find LOCAL employment. YES- we have on-site staff to provide personalized help with employment and unemployment services, Veteran assistance, job training, GED, and more. YES - we have a Computer Resource Area (or the CRA) for people who do not have access to computers for Unemployment tasks and job searching. YES - we have a roving, mobile computer lab that travels far and wide to bring our services to your town. Just look for 'The LINK,' an RV-sized vehicle cruising around. It doesn't get more convenient than that. But did you know that - NO - you DO NOT  have to be UNemp...

I'm on the road again!

There was a time (lo-these many years ago) when the only workshops I presented were live, face-to-face workshops in my classroom. It was a more participatory experience for all concerned. I loved interacting with the attendees.   However, the 'new normal' has changed things a bit. Seeing my smiling face in a little Zoom window (is now a main-stay. The havoc of the virtual workshops I'm afraid. While I am sure my enthusiasm still comes through, I miss helping people in a live, face-to-face setting.   So, not to be daunted by these obstacles. I have recently been taking some of my workshops on the road (coming now to a town near you)! This month alone I have presented at 3 different schools in our region.   On May 3rd, I joined some of my co-patriots at CSO to present résumé preparation and online job hunting tips at McCann Business school in Lewisburg. We spent about an hour presenting to several classes in a large lecture classroom.   On May 6th, I spent all day (a ...
