The city of Lancaster is offering residents the opportunity to renovate their careers through a new Job Search Boot Camp workshop led by expert career specialist, Joanna Mitchell. Offered six times from January through March 2014 in both east and central Lancaster locations, this new workshop will help participants break through whatever barriers they seem to be up against in their search for work or promotional opportunity.
From effective job search techniques to interview skills, the Job Search Boot Camp will provide participants with “the edge” they need when searching for a job, including how to break into the “hidden job market.”
