Keys to Job Search Success at Any Age!

Many people have faced job loss, at many ages and stages of their career. While these can be difficult times, what becomes important is to remember and focus on past successes, while maintaining optimism about the future. No matter what your age – or the circumstances surrounding your career transition – there are things to do and consider that will help you to make the job search process one that is interesting, productive, and successful.

LINKS is an acronym for Leads, Information, Networking, Know-how, and Strategies. It is an educational and motivational program designed to help candidates prepare for the week ahead and to share conversation, contacts, and job-search information in a relaxed, welcoming environment.
