Career Performance Excellence

With a New Year and an opportunity to partner with seasoned career professionals trained to “equip and empower YOU to become an excellent employee,”
today promises to be a new beginning. Christian HELP, Central Florida
Employment Council (CFEC), and Education Career Services has partnered
with one goal in mind: YOUR CAREER SUCCESS.

The goal of the Central Florida Jobs Initiative (CFJI) is intensive: To connect employers with qualified and job-ready candidates.

For those unemployed, underemployed, and/or recently graduated, this
FREE six-session program has the potential to lift you well above other
candidates. For those serious about career progression and career satisfaction, make the call today at 407.796.3650 or visit www.cfji.org for details.

The six interactive modules address recruiting and retention
challenges with which human resource professionals encounter, developing
techniques to your advantage. Throughout each workshop, you will be
introduced to a wide range of career strategies and applications proven
to enrich your personal and professional development.

Highlights of the six complementary classes are as follows:

Creating Your Job Search Plan:
Addresses effective job search and career management strategies as well
as common techniques to overcome the psychological effects when faced
with unemployment.

Crafting Your Cover Letter and Resume:
No doubt the key to finding a job is a well-written, value-filled
resume and cover letter. These career documents are essential to find
long-term and meaningful employment, but yet so many job seekers don’t
know what they are—let alone how to write them. Our second of six
workshops cover the basic and advanced methods behind writing an
effective resume and cover letter, and also provides examples and tips
along to the way to YOUR career success.

Networking in the Digital Age:
According to a recent study conducted by Harvard University sociologist
Mark Granovetter, 74.5% of all jobs come through networking. No doubt
networking is a key in success but how does one network effectively? Series three is an ideal guide to get you on the right networking path, and keep you there!

Job Search Tactics:
This fourth of six workshops takes you through each step of a digital
job search. Everything from selecting an online job search site,
creating an online profile, to uploading a resume is covered.
Furthermore, alternative methods such as social networking, job fairs,
and walk-in’s are detailed.

acing every aspect of the interview by realizing the many values and
contributions you offer an employer.

beyond. Be prepared to learn the meaning and process of on-boarding,
