News for Job Seekers

This morning's Job Hunting Help computer class is over until next time (Thursday, May 27, 9:30-11:00) but there is important news to share.

Microsoft has a program called Microsoft Elevate America which offers vouchers for training for Microsoft Certification exams and free online training for basic computer skills. Read more on our local job help center's website, Novaworks.org. Don't miss visiting there if you need a job, a review of your resume, help with interviewing skills or networking opportunities.

Speaking of networking, go to the Sunnyvale Library on Monday, April 19, from 1-4 p.m. for a NOVA Volunteer Fair. Meet with community service providers from across the Bay Area, learn more about volunteer opportunities, expand your network and explore your talents an passions. Pre-register by sending an email with your name to volunteerfair@novaworks.org.

Remember we can help you with free computer time (90 minutes a day) for uploading resumes, filling out applications, researching companies and other job hunting work. Good luck. It only takes one job.
