Job Search Strategies
Experience shows that individuals who have a thorough understanding of the job search process in today’s job market secure employment more effectively than those who do not. Therefore, we developed this workshop to provide career seekers with key information regarding a successful job search process.

The workshop also provides an overview of the job search and assessment modules of the Employ Florida website.
