As the economy begins to return to “normal” it is essential for you to remember that during the tough times of employment, most companies will begin to hire temporary talent until they are feeling confident that they can keep full time regular staff.

This is a good time for you to:

• Train for new skills. Take advantage of our new training software. It is free and available to all registered candidates. Simply call our office and make an appointment to train for two hour sessions.

• Work on your resume. Be sure it lists all of the most recent skills and talents you have learned since the last time you applied for a position.

• Develop a business card with your name, address, telephone numbers, and area of expertise.

• Research companies that are of interest to you.

• Continue to network with family, friends, and other professionals in your area of expertise.

• Read trade magazines and periodicals in your field to keep abreast of the newest developments.

• Keep yourself physically fit by exercising and eating nutritious foods.

• Put on a happy face.

“Of all the things you wear, your expression is the most important.” Janet Lane

• Put your talents to work for a nonprofit agency or volunteer your time for your favorite charity. You will feel good about your contribution and you may learn some new skills!
