My first step to employment

I am going to tell you about Job Search Workshop. It is a Microskills program. Now, 2 of my classmates and I come to Job Search Workshop. We began on Tuesday and we are going to finish on Friday. We study between 10 am and 1 pm. Before I came to Workshop, I prepared my resume at home. My husband helped me to write resume. My class consists of approximately 15 people. All of them have previous job experience but I don't. Today we listened to 10 min presentation about Microskills services. And now I know that Employment Ontario helps Ontarians:
- Get the skills to succeed
- Find a job
- Start a business.
Also, we shared one of our successes at work or our top 3-5 skills (from our document “My Success at Work"). Next question was “Who hires employees?". Now I know it might be companies, government, and non-profit organizations. After that we studied a “Understanding Job Posting". We worked in groups of 3 - 4 people. We reviewed the job postings together. We had 5 examples. After quickly review our job postings, we fill out the information on the form "Understanding Job Posting". In the end we talked about small and big companies and differences between them. I shared a couple of my ideas. Today was better that yesterday.
