I've been working on new exercises for job seekers, have new information from my travels around the country working with leaders in jobs, careers, workforce development, and entrepreneurship, and have a new slate of job seeker workshops coming up that you might want to attend.
It's always wonderful seeing old friends and making new. If you're going to be in the area, come by, learn new ways to improve your job search, network with others, participate in the discussion, and let's see if we can't help you get a better job faster!
