Virtual Workshop Center
"Learn On-Line"

The Department for Employment Services wants to introduce you to our Virtual Workshop Center.  Although we offer workshops at many of our locations, we understand that your schedule may not allow you the flexibility to attend these workshops in person.  That is why we are providing you an alternative method of accessing these services.  

The Virtual Workshop Center allows you to access in-depth information and instructions on "How to Write a Successful Resume", "Cover Letter" and "Thank You Letter"; Interviewing Skills to Assist in Your Job Interview; Job and Career Fair Tips; alphabetical listings of: Action Verbs to make your resume more dynamic, Descriptive Words to emphasize you and your skills, Commonly Misspelled Words frequently found on resumes, cover letters and often on tests; Survey and Assess Your Interests; even Test your Skills in Math, Spelling and Grammar.  There are also other useful resources and links to assist you in preparing for that first job, next job or career change.
