Networking is a really good way for people who are unemployed to start to look for jobs. It is important to know a lot of people from different groups, such as co-workers from old jobs, friends and people who you know you can count with to send your resume when you are looking for a job. If it is difficult for someone to know and meet new people, this person should start at least to take class to be able to meet people and to buid their own network.

This class teaches you very simple and at the same time very important tips you need to find a job. Also, this course instructs you how to be a professional interviewee as far as wearing an appropriate dress, being prepared to answer questions, dealing with stressful emotions before and while you're being interviewed, and eventually handling the consequent out comes of the interview. This class also provide you great information about the ways you can contact different employees, employers and other job seekers. However,you learn how to compete with other job seekers.
hope you enjoy the class.

We sometimes offer this course at a different time, however, this semester this class is offered at 6:30 p.m. to 9:40 p.m. I apologize for the inconvenience.

I hope to improve my knowledge about American employ process and to do my professional integration.
after one session with Andrea, she is the teacher of our course,I am sure that I will learn a lot with her. She is a very good pedagogue and I think she has enough experience about different cultures and she knows how to help others.

I just started this class and it seems to be beneficial in the terms of organizing all the things I know and don’t know to make me succeed in my future career. I will post another comment at the end of this class and that will give you a much better insight.
