Job Search
The process of looking for employment can take time, thought and a lot of energy. Luckily there are a wide variety of job search tools available as well as resources to help support your career search. Assistance with resume writing, practicing interviewing skills, as well as professionals who can help you to assess which jobs best fit your skills and interests are all widely available. Recruiters can help to place you in a position within your field, and job banks and websites list current postings and job openings. But where do you start? There are both free, and government-provided resources available, as well as private, paid companies and associations who can assist you in your job search. We are here to help you decide the best place to start.
You are not alone. Connect with others who may be going through the same thing, find professional help and resources near you. The Kinjunxion community is here to help.
